Does Kalanchoe prefer shade or sun?

Kalanchoe is a sun-loving plant. It is suitable for growing outdoors or in places with sufficient sunlight such as balconies. Only when it grows in an environment with sufficient light can it carry out photosynthesis normally and accumulate more nutrients, thereby accelerating growth and increasing the number of flowers.

Does Kalanchoe like sunlight?

Kalanchoe likes sunlight but is afraid of excessive exposure to the sun. It must be shaded in time during the strong sunlight in summer, otherwise its leaves will be sunburned. It needs to be placed in a place with better light when caring for it.

If it is placed in a dark environment, it cannot carry out photosynthesis and cannot accumulate nutrients for future growth. Its leaves will become very small and it will not be easy to grow flower buds.

Is Kalanchoe tolerant to shade?

The shade tolerance of Kalanchoe is not very strong. It is a plant native to Africa and needs sufficient sunlight to grow. Especially during its growth period, it needs 8-9 hours of sunlight every day. The same is true for daily maintenance.

Therefore, in daily life, we try to place the Kalanchoe in a well-lit place such as a balcony for maintenance. If the lighting conditions are too poor, it will grow too tall or slowly.
