Don, I am not familiar with that plant but looking at yours it might be in my house yet.

Are they hard to grow, and how often do they bloom? Light?

Wow, they are gorgeous.

Kalanchoes are a succulent, and there are many varieties and colors. They are easy to start from cuttings and easy to grow in our climate. Ours blooms in the spring. I had one in a very hot full Sun location with poor drainage that didn't do well. This one is against an eastern wall and gets full morning to noon Sun.

That is so gorgeous! It's pretty big, have you had it a long time? I have not had luck with Kalanchoes. I've had a red, an orange and a yellow one.
You are inspiring me to try again.

This one was started from a cutting about a year ago. I made sure the pot had good drainage. Our mild weather probably helps a lot.

My kalanchoe I keep inside is blooming too. Mine’s a smaller bloom on a smaller plant.

That is a good idea. Thanks for saying it that way.
It makes me think I will too, if I get the opportunity.

@MountainRa 's post encouraged me as well. It would be cheerful for me to have one indoors, again. I haven't had one in recent years.

So pretty. Mom always had those and I was always amazed at their beauty.
