Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my kalanchoe have Leggy growth?
Cause: Kalanchoe in indoor environments may stretch (etiolate) toward light sources, becoming leggy with weak stems and small sparse leaves. This phototropic response occurs when light intensity falls below requirements for this flowering succulent. Combined with strong apical dominance, the growing tip suppresses lateral bud development.
Solution: Increase light: Move to brighter location or supplement with grow lights 12-14 hours daily
Prevention: Maintain bright indirect light minimum. Rotate pots quarter-turn weekly. Provide vertical supports early to encourage compact growth habit. Prune after flowering to break apical dominance and stimulate branching.
