About Kalanchoe humilis
Plants in the Kalanchoe genus are native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. They range from rubbery green leaves, to leopard print, and some are even fuzzy! The word Kalanchoe comes from the Cantonese name for these plants, pronounced Ka-lun-koh-ee in English. Their succulent leaves help store water during droughts, so they'll be just fine if you skip a watering or two (it happens!).

How to fertilize Kalanchoe humilis
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 Kalanchoe humilis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

New plants and new pots #PlantTherapy So I repotted my florist kalanchoe to match is flowers, and potted new oxalis plum crazy for Mother’s Day gifts, and potted my new alocasia Okinawa silver to hopefully make into a outdoor porch plant for the summer. Also, started a new project which will need its own post eventually, but it started as taking a walk this morning and collecting plant specimens along the way! 😄 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #RarePlants #WeirdPlants #AlocasiaAddicts #alocasiaokinawasilver #Oxalis #oxalisplumcrazy #oxalisplumcrazy #Kalanchoe #Mint
