ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ‘White’ is a beautifully compact flowering houseplant that brings calm and elegance wherever it’s placed. With clusters of pure white blooms held above glossy green leaves, it’s a softer, more tranquil relation of the classic Flaming Katy. Supplied in 12cm pots and often already in bud or flower, it offers long-lasting colour and effortless charm — a perfect choice for brightening your home all year round.
Native habitat and growth pattern
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is native to Madagascar, where it grows among rocky hillsides and sunlit slopes. Adapted to store water in its thick, fleshy leaves, it thrives in dry conditions and rarely needs attention — making it one of the most rewarding flowering plants to grow indoors. Naturally compact, it typically reaches 20–30cm in height, forming a neat rosette of foliage topped with clouds of delicate white flowers.
Styling tips
The pure white blooms of this Kalanchoe bring a peaceful, elegant feel to any room. Perfect for minimalist interiors or neutral décor, it looks beautiful on a sunny windowsill, bedside table, or kitchen shelf. For a serene, modern look, pair it with pale ceramic or stoneware pots, or combine several together to create a striking display of white blooms. It also makes a thoughtful, lasting alternative to a bouquet — ideal for gifts, sympathy gestures, or weddings.
Care guide
Light: Place in bright, indirect light. A sunny east- or west-facing windowsill is ideal.
Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top layer of soil to dry before watering again. Avoid overwatering.
Humidity: Thrives in normal household humidity — no misting required.
Feeding: During flowering, feed monthly with a gentle organic fertiliser such as our Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage strong, healthy blooms.
Temperature: Average room temperatures between 15–25°C are perfect. Keep away from cold draughts and chilly windowsills.
