Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Purple'

 Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Calandiva Purple, a cultivar of the Kalanchoe succulent family, is a popular "gift plant" because it has beautiful leathery, dark-green leaves and stunning clusters of flowers that last a long time.

Calandiva Purple is a relatively slow grower and can reach approximately 12-18” tall. This is an evergreen perennial plant, producing flowers every year in the winter/spring.

 Its dense clusters of double purple trumpet-shaped flowers rise above the foliage, featuring rose-like purple petals.

Care:

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
