Calandiva, asstd

Calandivas are compact plants forming a dense rosette whose center is entirely hidden by flowers. The flowers are gorgeous, remain in bloom for six weeks or more, and the plant only requires minimal care.

Like other succulents, Calandiva needs well-draining soil with a slightly acidic or neutral pH. Add sand or perlite to your potting soil, or purchase a mix specially designed for succulents and cacti. Plant Calandiva outdoors, about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) apart. Give the plant full sun outdoors and as much sunlight as possible indoors, either with direct or bright, indirect sunlight. A spindly-looking plant may result from too little light.

Because Calandiva is a drought-tolerant plant, it is best to err on the side of too little water rather than too much. Water the plant thoroughly every week or less, but wait until the top of the soil is dry before rewatering. Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season to encourage flowering. Use a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants and either a liquid or granular type for outdoor plants.
