Hi! How are you?
Now I will talk about Kalanchoe.
It is a succulent plant
that has
lacy leaves.
It is considered the fortune plant.
It is a very cool gift.
To wish
fortune and abundance
for the person you are gifting.
It is a very interesting flower, it is being very commercialized now,
because it has durable flowers, and is very affordable.
Here in São Paulo, you find it anywhere, even in supermarkets.
And the tip is, when you are buying, look for one that has
more buds than flowers,
because the buttons will open
and the plant will last more time beautiful in your home.
This one I bought last week, it had many buds
that have opened into flowers, and will last
beautiful for a long time.
After the bloom,
it will stay like that here,
See? The stems are dry.
So what do you do?
You can prune.
And then your plant
will bloom again.
The ideal is to take her out of this tinny pot,
here it comes
in small pots like
this one.
A pot this size, right?
So the ideal is that you transplant it into a larger pot, right?
For example this one I plant,
using the substrate for cacti and succulents.
At the end of the video I will post a link to the video
Where I teach to do this substrate.
And then you leave it in the sun.
When you buy it blooming, you can leave it inside,
preferably near a window that receives sunlight,
but after it bloomed, you cut the stems,
put it in the sun, because then it will bloom again,
and so on, and you will have a plant that will bloom several times.
It's a pretty cool plan
for you have so potted, or even planted a garden, also gives a beautiful effect.
In very hot regions,
it is ideal that it does not take the hot sun , from eleven until two, three o’clock
in the afternoon.
It is a plant that tolerates cold,
and it multiplies easily by cuttings or by layering.
You can take a piece of four inches
of the stem, and plant it in sand to root,
and then you have a new plant.
It has many colors, it can be red, orange,
yellow, white, now even pink,
and it can be simple with little flowers, or folded.
When it has folded flowers,
it is called Calandiva,
but it is mainly the same plant.
The next time you look for flowers that last long gracing
your home, remember the Kalanchoe,
or Calandiva.
I'm sure you'll love it!
