How to Care for Kalanchoe Tomentosa ‘Teddy Bear’

Sunlight/Location: Adequate sunlight is crucial for its healthy growth. It flourishes under full sunlight conditions but can endure partial shade, especially during hot summers. When grown indoors, ensure placement near windows receiving ample indirect sunlight. Sufficient light prevents stretching and helps maintain its compact, dense growth habit.

Soil/Fertilization: It requires well-draining soil and dislikes soggy conditions. Commercial succulent potting mixes are suitable. For optimal growth, occasionally fertilize during its growing season. Use a half-diluted balanced fertilizer every two weeks.
Watering: Water thoroughly from spring to autumn, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid stem rot due to overwatering. Reduce watering during winter, water only lightly to prevent leaf wilting.

Propagation: It readily propagates through leaf and stem cuttings. For best results, propagate in spring to ensure a quicker and more successful propagation process.
