The hybrids tend to be easier. Sometimes it is the grower's fault--here they sell them in pure peat, much too moisture retentive once out of the grower's controlled environment.

I just planted a couple of pieces from a bloomed-out noID Kalanchoe myself but I was much less thoughtful about it and will probably be less successful.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
