Flaming Katy ‘Kalanchoe’ (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)

A cheerful, flowering succulent that brings long-lasting color and brightness to your home, especially during the winter months.

The Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) is a vibrant succulent beloved for its clusters of star-shaped flowers that bloom in vivid shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, and white. Native to Madagascar, this compact, hardy plant adds a lively splash of color and charm to indoor spaces, making it a favorite for tabletops, windowsills, and gifting occasions.

Its thick, glossy, dark green leaves store water, allowing the Flaming Katy to thrive with minimal maintenance. Blooming during the winter season, it brings warmth and brightness when most other plants are dormant — truly a “winter flower of happiness.”

Flaming Katy prefers bright, indirect light and a well-draining succulent mix. Water moderately, letting the soil dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering is the most common issue, so it’s best to keep it slightly on the dry side. It appreciates regular light and average indoor humidity, making it ideal for homes and offices alike.

Though not pet-safe, this plant is one of the most rewarding low-maintenance bloomers. With a little attention, it will flower for months and can even rebloom yearly with proper light and rest cycles.

At Acacia, every Flaming Katy is selected for vibrant blooms and full, lush foliage — a compact burst of joy that brings lasting color to your interior.
