Care Instructions
Kalanchoe millotii thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant enjoys moderate humidity levels and should be kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent rot.Soil
Kalanchoe millotii prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as loam, that allows excess water to escape easily. A cactus or succulent mix can also be used to ensure proper drainage. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Fertilize Kalanchoe millotii with a balanced fertilizer, such as 2-7-7, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as succulents do not require heavy feeding. Once a month during the growing season is usually sufficient.Repotting
Repot Kalanchoe millotii every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagation
Kalanchoe millotii can be propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Kalanchoe millotii to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done during the growing season.Toxicity
Kalanchoe millotii is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
