Can You Plant Kalanchoe

While temperatures of 50 to 60 °F (10 to 15.5 °C) will keep the Kalanchoes in bloom, freezing temperatures can kill them. In USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11, they can be planted directly in the landscape with minimal winter protection and will function as perennials.

Can I plant a kalanchoe outside?

While usually grown as a houseplant, the succulent perennials of the Kalanchoe family can grow outside in regions with warm or mild winters. Climate needs vary by species, so to grow outdoors you need make sure the kalanchoe plant you choose can survive.

Where do kalanchoes grow best?

Kalanchoes grown as houseplants are sun worshippers, so give them the brightest light you can for the longest time possible. A south-facing window is ideal, though west-facing will also work. One thing kalanchoes don’t like, though, is the cold, so make sure to keep them away from drafty windows and doors.
