kalanchoe plants how to take care of?

Answer 1

Avoid over watering to prevent crown rot & powdery mildew. Maintain soil on the dry side. Drench soil thoroughly, then allow it to become moderately dry before watering again.
Kalanchoe prefer 56-70 daytime temperature and 60-65 nighttime temps.

Bright light is necessary to sustain the flower colors. Pale or bicolored flowers indicate too-low light.

You can get the Kalanchoe to flower for 6-8 months per year, but it's flowering process depends on specific lighting requirements when it's blooming, & then putting it in the dark for a month after it's done blooming:
"Therefore Kalanchoe cultivators are following a very specific practice for a long blooming period. You should keep in mind that the continual darkness will enhance flowering. So, for stimulating the new buds production, place Kalanchoe plant in full light, keeping it to 8-10 hours per day (even artificial light). After bud’s apparition, you can remove the plant back to regular lighting. For Kalanchoe to flower again, cut the flowers off when they start to die back and let the plant rest for a month in a dark place. During the resting period you don’t have to water the plant or maybe less water. When you’ll notice new buds, bring Kalanchoe back in its appropriate place, restarting the regular watering."

Answer 2

Firstly, they I think are frost tender....so in UK treated usually as a house plant.
My present one thrives on neglect and indirect light. It is a succulent and therefore doesn't need or like much water. Since having it in September I think I've watered it only twice. If it were the summer and it was flowering I would water a little more often.
I have not fed it but will, in the spring, with something like baby bio.
I'm not sure if this is the conventional way to treat a Kalanchoe, but mine certainly seems very healthy.
Added Wednesday:
I've just discovered mine's flowering again...Neglect must suit it!

Agree with Indoor. "has started to twist and turn again but massively, to where i have to lean it against something" indicates your plant is "leggy" reaching for more light. Wonderfully invasive plant, the pups that grow on leaf margin will root and grow on anything they land on (plywood, concrete...)
