Initially, this plant had red flowers, but later it was bred in different ways and produced flowers of varying colors.
At the same time, Calandiva is a mutated plant that was discovered around 1998. This type of plant was bred in the Netherlands by Fides Goldstock Breeding.

Not including plants that have low maintenance, you need to schedule watering and adhere to it. Water the Kalanchoe plant when the top two inches of soil are dry and make sure water flows through the hole at the bottom of the pot.
However, don't overwater it because it can cause the roots to rot. When wintering, you do not need to do as much watering as possible, only occasionally. Kalanchoe plants can be fertilized during the growing season. Just like watering, when wintering Kalanchoe plants do not need to be fed fertilizers.
