How to fertilize Florist Kalanchoe
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Florist Kalanchoe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Kalanchoe, yes, but what's with these flowers? Meet Hope, fresh from the seasonal-special rack at Target. (Fun fact: I have been just doing in-store pickup to avoid wandering around and rescuing all the plants; in response, Target has moved the plants next to the pickup counter. Thanks Target.) Definitely a #kalanchoe, but what's with the doubled petals? Not the usual four-petaled wonders I've had in the past; any idea what's going on here?

What other plant parents say
I haven’t had a lot of luck with my Kalanchoe. It nearly died on me last year just months after getting it, I’m starting to think it was poor conditions at the place I got it from but since repotting, it seems to be getting healthier now but haven’t had any flowers since :( fingers crossed we get them soon!
