Kalanchoe orgyalis, a rare and precious succulent

Keep the soil slightly moist. Water only when the substrate is dry on the surface, for one or two centimeters.

Water with non-calcareous water at room temperature, without soaking the soil.

Thirty minutes after watering, empty any stagnant water from the cup. This will keep the roots dry and prevent them from rotting.

In spring, transfer your Kalanchoe orgyalis to a larger pot, so that it can continue to grow.

Get a pot with holes in it. Over time, foliage can become imposing. To prevent its weight from tipping the container over, choose a heavy model, in terracotta or ceramic for example. Line the bottom with pebbles.

This variety appreciates rich, well-drained soil. You can combine potting soil for flowering plants or heather soil with perlite or pozzolan. Pour in a layer of substrate, then plant your specimen in the center. Fill in with the rest of the mixture.

Water for the first time to eliminate air bubbles and encourage rooting.

You can stimulate the development of your plant during its growth phase, in spring and summer, with fertilizer.

Feed your Kalanchoe orgyalis with a special liquid fertilizer for flowering plants.

Remove wilted flowers. If you can't cut the flower stem with your hands, you can use pruning shears. Remember to clean your tool beforehand to prevent disease transmission.

Cutting is carried out during the strong growth phase, generally in spring and early summer.

Locate a healthy, flowerless stem. Using a clean, sharp tool, cut off an eight- to ten-centimeter section. Remove the lower leaves and leave to dry for 24 hours before planting.

In a pierced pot, pour a layer of gravel or clay balls, followed by the substrate. To promote growth, choose a rich potting soil such as horticultural compost or seedling and planting soil. You can add sand for drainage. Plant your graft and cover the roots with soil.

Place your cutting in a bright spot away from direct sunlight.
