Care tips
Place Kalanchoe thyrsiflora in a bright location with plenty of indirect light, some direct sun will enhance its red leaf margins. Water sparingly only when the soil has completely dried out. Avoid overwatering, as the plant stores moisture in its leaves and is prone to root rot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Occasional removal of dry or damaged leaves helps maintain a clean, attractive appearance.
