Kalanchoe ‘Pink Butterfly’ | Pink Mother of Thousands

Kalanchoe ‘Pink Butterfly’ is a fascinating succulent known for the little pink plantlets that develop along the edges of her leaves, giving the plant a delicate, butterfly-like appearance. She stores water in her fleshy leaves, so bright light and careful watering are the keys to keeping her happy.

☀️ Light
Give her plenty of bright light, with some gentle direct sunshine if possible. Good light helps maintain compact growth and can encourage stronger pink colouring.

💧 Watering
Allow the compost to dry out completely before watering. Give her a thorough drink and let all excess water drain away. Water much less often during winter.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Around 18-27°C is ideal. She prefers average household humidity and should be protected from cold draughts and frost.

🪴 Potting
Use a free-draining cactus or succulent compost in a pot with drainage holes. Avoid heavy compost that stays wet for long periods.

✂️ Pruning
Remove dead or damaged leaves as needed. Handle the plantlets gently if you want to collect them for propagation.

🌿 Growing Tips
The plantlets can develop along the leaf edges and eventually fall off, rooting where conditions allow. This plant can produce lots of little plantlets, so keep an eye on where they land.

🐾 Not Pet Friendly
Kalanchoe species are toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. Keep her out of reach of pets.
