Red Kalanchoe Trio in ceramic pots

Bright red flower clusters and glossy green leaves make this trio of Kalanchoes a perfect choice for holiday decorating – and gifting, too. Our white ceramic pots are trendy yet timeless, letting the flowers and foliage take center stage. Best of all, no green thumb is required to keep these famously easy succulents looking great. Display the plants as a group on the dining room table, sideboard, or fireplace mantel, or spread individual plants around the house to bring the holiday spirit to nightstands, bureaus, and coffee tables. Three plants shipped in 4" ceramic pots with saucers.

The genus Kalanchoe includes over 150 species native to Africa and parts of the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. They comprise perennials, biennials, and rarely annuals that are either non-woody (herbaceous) plants or partially woody subshrubs. Kalanchoes, like other members of the Stonecrop family, have fleshy, succulent leaves. Their small, four-lobed, tubular or bell-shaped flowers are borne in terminal clusters above the foliage. In temperate climates such as ours, Kalanchoes are grown primarily indoors, where they make top-notch, famously low-maintenance houseplants. Since all parts of the plant are toxic, Kalanchoes should be located beyond the reach of children and household pets.

The species with which Americans are most familiar is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. Native to Madagascar, this tropical perennial was discovered in the 1930s and received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. The species and its cultivated varieties have beautifully glossy, dark green leaves that are oval-shaped with scalloped edges, and their clusters of dainty flowers may be colored red, pink, orange, yellow, or white. These fantastic, easy-to-grow houseplants can be encouraged to rebloom year after year.

We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.

Delivery Timing

We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.

In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.

Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery.

Tracking information for each package is delivered via email.

Plant & Container Sizes

We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment.

Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival

It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

{cms_link name="how-to-grow-kalanchoe" text="Kalanchoes"} are easy to grow indoors in temperatures of 55°F or above, with bright indirect light. From April to September, water when the top 1 inch of the potting mix is dry to the touch and fertilize monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) mixed at 1/2 the recommended strength. The shorter days and longer nights of fall stimulate plants to produce flowers. Plants require less water in winter, when they are not actively growing.
