The Calandiva series of kalanchoes have been bred to sustain year-round flowering on compact, well-branched plants. This cultivar features single, dark red flowers. Like other succulents, it is best grown in full sun and in moderately dry soil to maintain a compact growth habit. Plants grown in partial sun to low light etiolate (stretch) but will survive for an extended period of time if they are not overwatered; however, flowering is reduced.
