Looking for a compact flowering plant that brings a mix of colours to your home? The Kalanchoe Flaming Katy fits the bill perfectly. It is a compact flowering succulent that blooms small, bright flowers surrounded by thick, glossy green leaves. With good care, the flowers last for several weeks and brighten up any sill, desk or side table.

When you buy Kalanchoe Flaming Katy from us, you can choose from a variety of colours. Pick red, pink, white or yellow, or get the mixed 3-pack for a surprise mix of different shades. Each plant comes in a 10.5cm pot, which is small enough to group a few. The leaves can store water and need a drink only when the compost has dried. Its low-maintenance nature makes it a lovely choice for your own home or as a thoughtful plant gift. With some care in autumn, it can even flower again. Explore our wider range of succulents for indoors.

  • The plant grows brightly coloured flowers (red, pink, yellow, or white) in clusters
  • The colours are long-lasting, and the flowers stay for several weeks
  • The leaves are thick and glossy. They hold water, so you can afford to miss a watering session or two
  • They come in a 10.5cm pot. You can buy 1, 2 or 3 plants

Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright light with some gentle direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. A warm, airy position and lower humidity suit this plant better than a steamy or constantly damp room.

What care does a Kalanchoe Flaming Katy need?

Put it on a bright windowsill that gets some gentle sun, nothing too harsh or direct. Keep it in a warm room, ideally between 15°C and 24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Wait until the top 3 cm of compost is dry before watering, and tip away any extra. Pick off faded flower heads to keep it looking tidy.

How do I make my Flaming Katy flower again?

It flowers when the nights are long. From late September or October, give it about 14 hours of full darkness each night for around six weeks. For example, you can place it in a cupboard for this. Then, by day, place it in some bright light. Stop once flower buds appear.

Is Kalanchoe safe for pets?

Sadly, no. It is poisonous to dogs and cats. A pet that chews it may vomit or get diarrhoea, and in rare cases it can even affect the heartbeat. Keep it out of reach of your furry friends, and call your vet if they nibble it.

Can I choose the flower colour?

Yes. You can choose from red, pink, white, yellow or a mixed colour selection. The plants are available in quantities of 1, 2 or 3, each supplied in a 10.5cm pot.

Why are the leaves going soft or yellow?

This usually happens when the leaves get too much water. To prevent such issues from happening, allow longer gaps between drinks and make sure the pot drains well. If the stems are long and pale, it also needs a brighter spot with more sun.

Top tip

Give it plenty of light and resist watering on a fixed schedule; allowing the compost to dry between waterings is usually the safest approach. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
