Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink', also called Flaming Katy, is a compact flowering succulent in the Crassulaceae family native to Madagascar. It grows indoors as a houseplant, combining drought tolerance with seasonal blooms and simple care requirements.
Upright clustering rosettes of thick, fleshy dark green leaves form the plant's tidy structure, with foliage reaching 8 to 12 inches in height. The leaves feature scalloped edges and a glossy, waxy texture that stays dense and compact on a windowsill or desk. New rosette clusters emerge over time, creating a fuller appearance with each growing season.
Calandiva Pink produces masses of fully double, rose-like blooms in warm pink tones that last for weeks at a time. Unlike single-flowered kalanchoe varieties, this double flower type holds its blooms exceptionally well throughout its blooming period. A period of cooler night temperatures triggers reblooming, naturally mimicking seasonal shifts that signal the plant to set new flower buds.
Move it outside in summer to a sheltered spot, though it needs cover from rain to protect the blooms and foliage. Keep it away from cats, dogs, and small children—place it on a high shelf out of reach. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and keep it away from air conditioning or heating vents. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It also grows well under office LEDs.
