KalanchoeView attachment 351312

How do you overwinter kalanchoe? I had one that got left out over winter and obviously didn't make it. Two others got brought inside, but I lost both. I'm not sure if they didn't get enough light or the watering was wrong or something. They did really well outside in the summer.

The first sign of spring in the Bay Area is the blooming of the evergreen pear trees. ALMOST THERE!!

It's just a plant in my office at work, never been outside. Gets light from a south window, watered once a week. It's getting pretty straggly actually, I need to cut it back.

@Deep Sea Diver two of my favorite Paphs that you don't see often are Paph purpuratum and urbanianum. My other favs are any hangianum hybrid, and any roth hybrid. So I am looking forward to the Ho Chi Min.

The Ho Chi Minh is a two for one.
Here’s the first bloom.

Thought I’d take Jelena out for a walk today. Blooming in my dark cold garage just didn’t seem right. Nursery stock from 2020. Ground layer this spring. Could be problematic for displaying.

My car showed it was 65 when I was coming home, It's been weird weather here in Norcal. Now a few days of rain is coming in.

We had a "wintery mix" and snow flurries, so no sympathy from me.

I love Fuschia, I've never seen one that color combo. Can't believe it's blooming outside in January!

We’ve been amazed too! So far we haven’t had it cold enough to seriously damage the plant, so it keeps puttering on and we get a year around benefit this year!

My dwarf pom is blooming better inside than it did outside.
