Kalanchoe blossfeldiana single Story Orange

The Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, also known as Flaming Katy or Tom Thumb, is a popular houseplant known for its vibrant red flowers. This single-story variety is characterized by its erose leaf margins and ovate (egg-shaped) leaves. The flowers of this plant are small, with a diameter ranging from 1 to 2 centimeters, and they come in shades of red to light red (N030A).

The Flaming Katy typically grows to a height of 10 to 20 centimeters, making it a compact and manageable plant for any indoor space. The inflorescence of this Kalanchoe variety is in the form of a corymb, which means that the flowers are arranged in a flat-topped cluster.

The leaves of the Flaming Katy are relatively small, measuring between 7.5 to 10 centimeters in size. They have a simple division, meaning they are not divided into multiple leaflets. The main color of the leaves is a dark green, providing a beautiful contrast to the vibrant red flowers.

One of the notable features of the Flaming Katy is its unicolored flower color distribution. Unlike some other varieties of Kalanchoe that have bi-color or multi-color flowers, the Flaming Katy exhibits a consistent and uniform color across the petals.

Being a compact plant, the Flaming Katy is an excellent choice for windowsills, small tabletops, or as part of a mixed indoor garden arrangement. It requires moderate watering, preferring well-draining soil and infrequent waterings to avoid root rot. This plant also benefits from bright, indirect sunlight and moderate temperatures.

The Flaming Katy is not only a beautiful addition to any indoor space, but it is also relatively easy to care for, making it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts. It can provide a pop of color and life to any room and is known for its long-lasting blooms, adding joy and beauty to your home.
