I had a yellow Kalanchoe, but I gave it to my grandmother as a present (when it was in full bloom). Took 1 leaf off, and planted it in my pot where I keep various succulents. It grew roots and I transplanted it to it's separate pot about two months ago. Just today, I noticed hat it has started growing a new stem. I really like Kalanchoe. I'm glad I found your channel - am a new subscriber.
Your explanations are so detailed, helpful and concise. Thanks Devin! Looking forward to watch more of your videos
im so happy to hear! that makes me feel proud to know the messages are coming across!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge buy two recently really love these plants the blooms are ausom Thanks devin
Is it me or does he look like he could be Ashton Kutchers little brother!!? What a cutie. Great and much appreciated info. Thank you.
hehehe ill take that compliment every time! thanks for joining the plant vibes :)
Never saw such a smooth and properly detailed gardening video. Thankyou for your help 👍🏻
thank you!! glad it was helpful
Great video, pleasant and easy to follow your thoughts!
This is one of my first plants, my Katie, she is SO dramatic! She WILL let me know when she is not happy... lol. Relocated her indoors due to winter, how could I tell she disliked her assigned space? She swayed all the way to one side, closer to the sun... Katie knows what she wants so she was relocated to a brighter spot and is thriving! ♥️
sounds like katie has a loving plant mama!!
Absolutely wonderful presentation! You don't forget anything. I had much fun watching you and listening to your comments!
You are great guy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the information. I came for the kalanchoe care, then ended up binge watching your other vids and subscribing. Keep up the great work👍🏾
heheh glad you are enjoying the videos!
I just found a couple pots at IKEA 'as is' for one US dollar each. I love the challenge of a rescued plant and this is such a great video. I also rescued and regrew Poinsettas I found near a garbage can this year. Subscribing, so helpful.
niiiice!! i love hearing that. you must have some rock solid patience for saving those plants
I have always been into plants call me if I have over 100 but I've never had a flowering Kalanchoe. "Mother of Thousands/Devil's Backbone" but I was riding home from the store and was behind the local Lowe's, and I saw a bunch of dirt around the dumpster. And thought why not have a look what'd they throw away? Found 8-9 Florist Kalanchoe plants some almost gone, but I grabbed a bag I found and threw them all in and threw it in my backpack and planted them RIGHT when I got home. They're starting to give off a few new flowers already. Lol I love the colors they give off. I want to propagate 1-2 pieces of each color (3-4) I have, into one pot and have a little flurry of them. Lol
Your videos are so interesting. I watch them over and over and over…
Haha thank you :)
Thanks for this!
You are like Dutch with such a lovely feeling towards flowers!!!!! Dank je wel 🌷
Thank you! love holland a lot!

thanks for watching!
Useful video thanks
Thank you so much for all the insights. I got a pink kalanchoe flower on Mother’s Day. And I love this flower.
i hope the video helped!
Wow.. thankyou for your complete explanation

Great info thanks. Just bought some today
happy to help!
Thank you!
New fan to your page.. Thank you for all that great information. I live in Houston so i constanly water my plants but never new the right way to make them bloom more new flower buds ,now that i know am really looking forward to get them to go in boxes in a garage for a while and enjoy all the new blooms. Thanks.
sweet!! yes, give them that period of darkness and that should really encourage them to produce some new flowers!! thank you for watching
Thanks for the vid, I'm trying to re-bloom mine. :)
You can do it!
beautifully explained thanks
hope it helped!
Just bought a Kalanchoe plant with no knowledge about it's care. This video was very helpful. Thanks, Devin.
glad to help!!
Very helpful! Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
فيديو جميل وزهور حلوة شكرا على المعلومات والشرح المفيد
Thanks for watching!!
Gracias por subtítulos en español! Estoy practicando y también encanta aprende de las plantas
Necesito volver a poner mas subtítulos !
Hi there. Great vid with loads of info. My kalanchoe is out of control. I had it passed as a tiny plant 3 yrs ago. I've just left it to do its own thing. It blooms every Yr. Now it's over 2 ft high. Spindly and I have zero clue how to cut it back and repot it. Any help would be massively appreciated appreciated. Thanks.
So far, your explanation has been the best! So thank you very much. I don’t like the background music with not explanation.....this was best one ☝️, thanks!
awesome!! im glad it was helpful!
...and I loved the Spanish subtitles as I am studying the language!
heheh you are the first person to comment on the subtitles! glad you enjoyed them
Very informative, shout out from the Philippines
thank you!
Excellent sharing
Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks for all the info. I typically garden for tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and peppers. I guess I got a reputation, because I share the bounty with my wife's co-workers.
Now I have a Christmas cactus, 6 orchids, and several herb plants, they all sent to me out if frustration.....and I revived them all.
This plant is my most recent, so I found your video, and I'm confident it will join in with all my other castoff rescues. Thank you so much! After suffering a heart attack, gardening gives me the right amount of physical activity to keep me healthy again......but it's taking me longer to get around my garden and greenhouse...but the plants need their care!
By the way, I'm in suburban Detroit, but grew up in Pittsburgh.......where in Pennsylvania do you hail from?
oh man, im sorry to hear about the heart attack :( but im glad gardening has given you a good outlet to stay healthy! sounds like you have quite the greenthumb with a reputation like that! im out in the mainline, PA but from indiana
I’m just discovering your channel and immediately subscribed. You’re very concise. I love that and your obvious joy for plants. Your Mom gifted you a beautiful pot. She’s a gem.
awww what kind words! im so glad you enjoy the content. and yes, my mother is the bessstttt
I love your natural vibrations you have with plants; "let it be natural"🧡 - I've been buying fake plants, yes, I read that even fake plants are healing, the visual of green and color the mind takes in and ah, calming. So, I bought at a supermarket a real honest to goodness live plant, a kalanchoe, it was just blooming and I will say the flowers are now in cute tight little clumps. they are just beautiful. My problem is the leaves were green and shiny now some are and drooping turning yellowish, so while listening to you I watered it and wow the water just ran right out, good sign or bad? Well, loving that vase and the blue material you have there behind you. Oh, I also just cut one leaf off, would you leave the leaves alone? oops, had you on pause and I see what you've done with the leaves. : ) peace light and love ~
hi mary! thank you for your kind words! im glad you connect with the energy!
Thank you so much for your advise. My husband give me those beautiful flowers in every color and I didn’t know how to take care of them until I saw your video. I am in Florida. Thanks
great! you will do wonderfully with them
Very detailed thank you so much
.. I actually brought the one I have back to life .. it was give to my boyfriends mother a year ago a remembrance flower and she let it almost die....I brought it home and it doesn't even look like the plant .. I really wish I had took pictures of it because it was just two leggy thin steams .. I read the little tag stuck in the pot and for a year have been doing the same care for it... But thanks to your video I now know how to get it to bloom again. I'm in West Virginia so I'm just going to let it naturally bloom.
sweet! i love hearing stories of helping plants recover! thank you for sharing
Thanks 👍
One of the better detailed videos out there on taking care of a Kalanchoe especially as a first time plant carer. What about fertilizers how should I go about that/how often and such
thanks! i would fertilize about once a month all year round with a well balanced fertilizer, something like 10-10-10 or 10-20-10
thank you!! Very helpful video for a newbie like me. I've never been much of a plant person until I recently discovered the kalanchoe. Love my babies and I started to get worried now that they're losing their petals.
i hope it was helpful!
We don't want a premature death. Lol. This was so helpful. Just got this plant as a gift and would've never thought it was a succulent. Thank you so much so excited to take cake of this baby
happy to help!!
This infor was needed!
thanks for watching!
I just cut off stems (green) and push them into the soil and they grow wonderfully, they need shade here in California. I have them outside all year around, they need next to no care. I love them. I bought 5 and have a ton now.
thats awesome! it sounds like you found the perfect green thumb for you kalanchoe. thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this video. My kalanchoe is just losing her first blooms and I was worried about getting her to bloom again.
I kept reading online that you have to force it to bloom. But now I know she will bloom naturally next year 💛
Yep just let it go au natural
Ahhh! I subscribed as soon as you metioned the beautiful pot your mother made you... touched my mom heart( I have a teen boy). Also the fact that you find random things to make your plants the right height. I thought I was a weirdo for doing that now I see that I am very wise. Lol But mostly because of the great information and your obvious love of plants. 😍🪴🌺🌻🌷🌵....and not just the trendy ones. 🤮
it is such a beautiful pot isn't it?! and no you are absolutely wiser than most by using random things about the house to get the perfect height! thanks for joining along :)
Super! 👌
Thanks for watching :)
You're right about how sellers don't explain their proper bloom times.
I'm in the nyc area and like you during the winter months, not much light, and yet it did flower a little...but because lack of daylight it was stretching some ...i guess 'looking' for more light during the daytime, but even those flowered.
consider trimming the stretched growth back a bit!
Devin,
Thank you for your teaching video's. I love them. :)
I wanted to know if I put the plant under the box, how does one water it without exposing to light? Thank you!!
its ok for a second to give it some water!
I recently started explanding on new plants and someone gave me one of flaming katys. Very informative videos and also, team PA! 😂
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info. Mine was a cutting and is about to bloom. I had no idea what it was and thought it was a creeping Charlie (Swedish Ivy) until it started to bud. I just identified it as a kalanchoe.
awesome! i'm glad you were able to figure it out! i hope the video was a bit helpful
@@plantvibrations Yes, it was...keep up the good work!
I get these in mixed flower gifts.I work as a gardener.I grow them in a green house.Their flowering started feb 10th 2022.I hang plants like a forest.And store these low.Until now.Pre spring color.
👍👍👍
@@plantvibrations thank you for saying hello.I also use my old parrot seed for wild birds.The left over grows.Making natural seed.
I do estate gardens for 20 years.
Thanks for sharing! I have a Kalanchoe that turned really spindley because of low light conditions. Could you add info on pruning and propogating the stems?
I will try! thanks for the suggestion!
I live in the desert....we have SUN all the time....I'll probably never use a box to cover, and I'll place it in a shadier place. Is this a good or bad idea? It could be in the 40's a few nights, that it. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge !!!!!! I love my plant!!!!!
yes definitely place it in a shadier spot so that it isn't baking in the full sun during the peak hours!
thank you!! i just bought one for my mom's birthday, it's in okay shape but def stretching a bit, i assume the store was giving it little light as it was in the back i hope we can get it in better shape soon. i found an article saying i should repot it in a mix of 50% potting soil and 50% catcus mix but many flowers are in bloom so should i just put it in a clay pot and wait until flowering is over?
I think that sounds like a good mix. and yes wait until the plant has finished flowering and then cut it back in half or else it will continue to get tall and leggy. at that point you can change the mix as well.
I just received a kalanchoe for my birthday in Octobet and I thought the plant was dying. I was about to give up until I saw your video and I immediately started to follow your instructions for taking care of it. So thank you.
I did want to ask: in terms of keeping it in a dark space should I start to have it covered by the box now or should i wait til it is blooming season again?
glad to help! i would not use the box now, it is generally better to do that in september time period. i would let it grow naturally. you may get flowers in the spring. and then if you want at the end of summer next year use the box
Most plants, but especially succulents are better watered from the bottom. Make sure they have well draining substrate and let them dry out completely and then soak them in a bucket to make sure the entire dried out soil lump is wetted. Then allow the water in the soil to fully run off and then dump that excess run off left in the saucer. Then you wait until it's fully dried out before watering it again. Remeber, making sure the entire root/soil lump is watered means you're also making sure you get fresh air to all the roots. Watering pushes out stale air and draws in fresh air. Replenishing the air is almost as important to plants as water.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that, but if it works for you then that’s what counts
@@plantvibrations Drenching the soil like that is definitely not a good idea in winter. When temperatures are low and daylight short that soil's gonna take forever to dry. I do this sometimes in hot summer days when i'm sure the soil is going to dry fast no matter how much water it holds. Tried watering from the bottom and from above and did't see any difference. If your soil is fresh and not compacted it doesn't matter how you water it.
I was gifted a kalanchoe that wasn’t in the best shape, will you do a video on this?
Oh wow! Great video. I just bought two of these at Walmart as they had them for sale for Easter. But they are just tiny little plants about 4 inches tall. Do they grow that big like you have them in this video? I have already transplanted them in larger pots, just not as big as you have. Will they grow bigger if I put them in bigger pots? I love plants and usually do well with them but this is the first time for me with these. I'm in Nova Scotia so they will be house plants here. Even though summers here can get a bit warm, it definitely cools off at night.
awesome! glad the video helps. yes, they will eventually fill out. but its important to give them trimmings along the way to encourage the bushy growth or else they will end up getting quite leggy, like how they do in nature. so after they've bloomed, cut them back a couple inches and that will encourage them to branch out. and in the warm months they will love being outside, preferably with morning sun
@@plantvibrations Thank you Devin! Much appreciated! I got excited watching your video seeing how large yours are compared to my little tiny things. I will definitely follow your trimming, watering, placement and other directions. I already put them in better light. I can definitely put them out in the morning sun as soon as it warms up here. Still in the 40'sF. Thank you again!
I'm doing a marathon on all your videos to make sure im taking care of all my plants. 😂
hehehe niiice! let me know if there are any plants you'd like a video on!
@@plantvibrations actually i would love one about hydrangeas if possible 😍
@@taniababan8953 i recently uploaded one all about big leaf hydrangea!
@@plantvibrations found it! Thanks you🙏
Would it help with a really dark peckut
Devin, hi from Malaysia. Love your video. Just wanted to ask, if i do keep it in the dark or put a box over it, do i need to water it or do i just let it be?
watering maybe once a month will be alright when totally covered like that. it is alright to let it go super dry. it may look a bit shriveled up but it'll plump back up quickly
Do you put fertilizer and what kind is it. Thanks for sharing your tips
Yep I use Roberta’s bounty fertilizer, you can find it at plant-vibrations.com
Thank you for this video, and I have a question, will the watering and fertilizing process remain during the peace process? I am one of your followers from Algeria
Hi bensot. Could you rephrase? I don’t understand what you mean ‘peace process’
I was gifted with a beautiful kalanchoe with white flowers about a month or so ago, the flowers lasted awhile and I didn’t water it but after awhile the flowers started to die and my soil got super dry so i removed the flowers and I watered it.. my my leaves are turning yellow and wilting and dying. What did I do wrong? I also took it out the light so get more flowers and it just looks like my kalanchoe is dying now, leaves are just starting to fall off
Thanks for the response. I mean, do we water it and fertilize it when we put it in the dark?
You can keep watering but I’d refrain from fert
If they usually bloom in the spring, how did you get them to flower in the middle of summer?
Hi Devin! Thanks for such a detailed explanation. I've got a question regrading the soil. I just bought a Kalanchoe and the soil is quite moist (it's been 3 days). Should I be repotting it? If I have to, should I be dusting off the old soil completely from the roots? Also, what kind of soil do kalanchoes need? Thanks a lot.
Hi! if you just brought it home definitely wait a couple weeks before replanting if you decide to. they're normally fine in the soil they get sold with but just wait to water it until they dry out. ideally it will fill out the pot in the next few months and the soil type won't be too relevant because it will be drying out faster with its larger root system
@@plantvibrations That's very helpful! Thanks a lot, Devin!
You are my new favourite Flower-youtuber_:) Do you have video for Peace Lilly? It got sun and since then I am not able to rescue..
i should make a video on peace lily!
@@plantvibrations Thank you! Looking forward to it. I can send pics how they were looking before getting sun...and how they look now...-.(
Devin, I love your channel and love your family products from Robertas! I have 3 different hardy hibiscus planted in the front yard and want to know if the old blooms with seeds in them are able to planted into the ground? I would love to have more in the yard. They are pink, white, red and we love them.
Hi! thanks for your support :) you can try planting them directly in the garden right now, or save the seeds in a glass jar in the fridge until spring and plant them then. or try both methods and see which works better for you. the third option is to save the seeds now and start them indoors in the two months before spring. thats the most involved method, but the best success rate.
Hi Devin, I have a few different types of kalanchoe that are in Bonsai Jack’s super gritty mix. I’m wondering if that medium is a little too well draining for some succulents, like kalancheo. I noticed you are able to check to see if your plant is dry by touch, which doesn’t work with the gritty mix. What potting medium do you recommend.
@@tracyfry2188 Hi Tracy. that super gritty mix may indeed be too well draining, but if your plants look happy then id stick with it. you could do a 50/50 mix of what you have with a normal indoor plant potting mix, which is what i use. i think during the winter months your mix will be very good for ensuring the soil doesn't remain too wet for too long. i'd experiment with a few different medias if you can and see what your plants like best
Hi Devin, I have 3 Kalanchoe that I planted last year in pots in my front yard and they seems to be struggling with brown leaves, not blooming, etc. I need to prune back the dead stuff but my question is this: is it possible to revive kalanchoe even if they appear "dead" Im very new at gardening and I am truly grateful for experts like you to show the care and upkeep. I have no idea that they needed so much darkness. I live in California in between San Fran and Sacramento where the summer months can be brutal for ALL living things! lol I guess Im seeking your advice on whether I should try and keep them in darkness in hopes of reviving them?
hi Catherine. if i were you, i wouldn't worry about the period of darkness since you have yours outside. just let them find their natural bloom cycle. but i would recommend that you cut them back to all them to regrow. even though they appear dead they will likely grow back fine. cutting them to about 4-5" tall would be good. they won't look like much for awhile but they'll come back
@@plantvibrations thank you, Devin. I hope you have an awesome day!
Help!!! What if I have a small plant in bloom and the leaves are turning crispy at the edges? I’m worried about my plant! I didn’t know what it was at first so I might have overwatered it a little in it’s slightly small pot without a drainage hole. I’m going to make a hole soon and have stopped watering it though the soil is still moist like a damp-ish sponge. I also put one small pellet of 6-2-4 Microlife citrus fertilizer in the tea pot spout(that’s the shape of the pot it’s in and I cant take it out) I thought it was a Bonsai rose at first but the leaves really threw it off so I found out it was not indeed a rose plant. Thanks!
hmmm, i think you may need to repot it. they really dont want to remain in a moist damp environment for prolonged periods. regarding the crisping edges, has it recently been placed in a lot more sunlight?
Thank you for your informative video. Do you water the plant for the whole 6 weeks?
you want to make sure to let it stay relatively dry. during that period water a little bit every two weeks
@@plantvibrations thank you.
where can i buy the klanchoe is that here in phils can we order the seed
Hi Devin! When do you suggest changing the soil or fertilizing this plant? :) - and to clarify, not setting the plant in a dark area after blooming does not impact the plants ability to bloom next season?
And just to reclarify, it’s okay for me to not give my plant a ‘dormant’ period? I still want the plant to bloom to the best of its ability!
You can change soil every 3 years. Fertilize once a month. Yeah it’s absolutely ok not to give it the dormant period, it will find its own rhythm
My son gave me this plant for Mother’s Day last year. I didn’t have a clue what it was or how to care for it. I’m shocked it’s green and healthy looking. I’m scared it won’t be after I actually put it in a pot. It grew too big for the flimsy pot it came in, and broke from the roots.
I put it in a bowl of water, and it has new roots. It’s deep green and beautiful, but I’m scared to plant it. I don’t want it to dye because it holds sentimental value for me. Wish me luck.
aww thats a great story. soundalike you are reviving it with love
Hi Devin, I am from Malaysia. I have a kalanchoe plant 1 week ago with full bloom of flowers but the leaves started to fall off easily even with just slight touch few days back. What should I do?
Good evening, I have a question, how do the papers become so big, and excuse me, my friend, for the many questions. We are learning from you
I've had one for about 4 years. Never bloomed after I first bought it but it was nice and healthy. In September I put it in a closet to encourage blooming... Within a week it dropped most of the leaves. Took it out and the new growth was not healthy at all. I had to chop all the stems and leave it almost totally bald so it would start growing healthy leaves again... I saved it, but still don't know what happened. Maybe needed a more airy place? Or maybe should have moved it to the light for a few hours? I wish it bloomed again, it was a lovely orange shade...
It’s hard to say exactly what went wrong but if it has started to regrow then it is very likely that it will rebloom in the coming months for yoy
I have had the hardest time to grow these plants. I've been gifted 5 in the past 3 years all have never bloomed and then eventually died. This was the best informative video I have found in the last few years. And I have searched and searched for someone to answer my questions. I'm so excited to try these methods as I'm once again a new owner of the khalanchoe plant. 😅😊
Awww I hope this one goes well for you!
@@plantvibrations to update you I actually ended up getting new buds as I continued to cut the dead flowers and leaves. And kept up on watering not as much. However my buds are not blooming its been about 1 week and a half. Then I noticed the dirt was really dried so I added more water. I see more new buds coming from the bottom but the older ones on top don't want to bloom. How long does it usually take for the buds to bloom?
I def put mine too close to the window :( dried out... fingers crossed hope I can save it... got it as a gift from my mother in law .. D:
they're super resilient, they may be slow to come back but they will!
@@plantvibrations thank you! I took your advice and cut the dead flower heads off, the leaves and stems still look fresh :)
@@independentx0x0 yay!! give it some good lighting and it will thrive!
When Fall starts to come (October) should I leave my plant in the closet? Or what do I do with it?? Its also a little leggy.
yes now is a great time to give it the period of darkness. you can also trim it back before placing it in the closet so that way once you take it out it'll start growing again without getting too leggy
I have a kalanchoe that’s just one long lengthy stem with leaves, probably over 30cm tall and I have no idea what to do with it! I don’t know if I should trim it in some way or what. Any advice?
I’d just cut it all the way down and let it start over
Hello I was a little bit confused and was hoping for some clarification! So when it is already blooming I can have it in light normally but when I’m trying to get it to bloom again is when I keep in the darkness? Thanks!
yep you got it
Your video is very informative but you should take the camera a bit closer at some times when you are showing something small
Thanks for your comment! In my more recent videos I have been including more closeups!
I live in Washington state, my wife just got one should we plant it outside . It rains alot here during the winter .
hi Stephen. definitely keep it in a pot and bring it inside once the nights get to 45 degrees or so
I have one that is turning yellow for no detectable reason. I currently have it outside on a table on my porch, which made it happy last year. I'm not watering too often or too much at once. I moved it to a more sunny part of the porch and now I'm waiting to see how it does there. I don't know what to think. It has new leaves growing in while also turning yellow on older leaves. What say you oh plant whisperer? Any advice?
They typically lose their lower foliage as they grow taller! You can cut it back to start it fresh
@@plantvibrations Thank you! I have been scouring the interwebz for an answer and solution and it's nothing but advice related to over/underwatering that I come across. I'll give it a trim and see what happens!
What is best fertilizer for this plant, and how often should I use it?
I use Roberta’s bounty fertilizer about once a month all year, you can find it at plant-vibrations.com
Hi, I just have questions. When you keep it in complete darkness do you still water it or no? Second question is that after 14hrs of keeping it in complete darkness do remove it out of the box again? Thank you!!
It’s not going to need much water during this time but it will benefit from some water sparingly, like once every 10-14 days. And yep, you can remove it for the rest of the day
So this beautiful plant is new to us, the leaves are starting to grow moss... what can we do?
I'm not sure what you mean by the leaves are starting to grow moss. like mold?
So it's almost March and I didn't put a box over it. If I put this now in a sunny window will it flower?
i would skip the box and just let it lead its natural course. likely it'll flower this spring
I just got gifted one of these and I’ve had the worst time trying to keep it alive every day the leaves are dying one by one it’s not even close to the end of its bloom it’s a magenta one and my leaves areeee nottttt crispy any more maybe I’m over watering it it’s the only thing I can think of I have a good green thumb and I’m usually really good with plants and the pot it was gifted in has no drainage hole and I think that’s the issue as well I need to repot it any chance you have good advice for me?
It may just be shedding its lower leaves naturally. After it’s done blooming you can cut it back and let it start over
Notice your plants are potted in plastic pots . Is that what you use or it doesn't make a difference ?
Help mine has not flowered all through winter ..currently I have in south facing sunny window…greenery growin great but no flowers
hello what soil best for my kalanchoe plant
houseplant potting mix is fine
Please try to clear up some confusion I’m having about getting it to rebloom. You put it in darkness for 12 hrs and then what? Do you put it back in the light till it’s time to return it to darkness? Or do you keep it in darkness for 2 weeks straight without exposing it to light at all. I have a little flaming Katy that is starting to get some real growth but not many blooms. I’m doing what I know to do to encourage blooming, but hadn’t heard that darkness was an idea. Right now my Katy is in my dark closet and hasn’t seen light for 2 days.
yes leave it in total darkness without watering for two weeks and then bring back out to normal conditions. that darkness should initiate bud formation
What should the soil make up be for this plant
You could do 50/50 potting mix and perlite
