kalanchoes They are tropical plants and therefore the following requirements must be taken into account:

• Exhibition: They adapt to sun and shade, outdoors and indoors. However, they do not tolerate frost and in winter they must be protected if there is a risk of frost. They want light. If they are tall, they must be protected from the wind as it can break them.
• Ground: better a light, non-clayey soil. Example: a mixture of sand and peat.
• Irrigation: water regularly but make sure that the water does not stagnate as there is a risk of root rot. They withstand drought, especially Kalanchoe Daigremontiana, but they stop growth.
• Plagues and diseases: we don't know. They are resistant plants.
• Reproduction: The shoots that grow on the leaves take root very easily. By K. pinnata and K. Gaston generally has to have leaves placed on peat to encourage the appearance of shoots on the edges of the leaves.
• Harvest: We will cut the leaves from the bottom, that is, the oldest ones first.

In order to have enough plants to take for a few months in case of cancer treatment, we must have plants that we will have to have prepared by reproducing them from the godchildren. We must start reproducing as soon as we have a plant. It is good to always have them ready in case we can help someone when they need them.

If we have a lot of production at any given time, we can dry the leaves and then cut them into pieces and save them to make infusions. Drying requires heat since the leaves carry a lot of water, but not direct sunlight. We can also freeze the leaves, but in this case they should be taken out of the freezer shortly before consuming them, since they lose their texture when frozen and cannot be preserved once they are out of the freezer.

CONSIDER: The Kalanchoe daigremontiana It is classified as an invasive plant in some countries and therefore, it is recommended to take this fact into account to avoid its excessive spread.
