Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva' (also known as Calandiva or florist kalanchoe) is a relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant that thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. It requires infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings

   How do I keep my kalanchoe blooming?
   
   
   By cutting or pinching away the dead flowers, the plant will begin to use its energy to produce new buds, replacing the dead flowers. 

   
   

   The Kalanchoe plant is quite low-maintenance and should only be watered when the soil is fully dry. Don't allow the plant to become so dry that it begins to wilt.

   Water about once every 2-3 weeks

   Because Kalanchoes are succulent plants, they require less frequent watering than other flowers. The top half of the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Under typical conditions, this usually means watering about once every 2-3 weeks.

   I decided to transplant this plant into a bigger pot. I didn't want to go too big. but after I got it into its new pot, added more dirt, etc., it filled it out, and now I think I might need a bigger pot :-)
