Kalanchoe Candy Kane Variegated

Succulent | Easy-Care | Variegated Color
Description
Kalanchoe Candy Kane Variegated is a striking variegated kalanchoe with broad, paddle-like succulent leaves marbled in creamy white and cool green. In strong light, the leaf margins blush rosy red—creating a “candy cane” effect that intensifies with sun exposure and mild stress. Compact and architectural, it forms a tidy rosette that brings modern texture to containers, windowsills, and water-wise landscapes. Variegation naturally slows growth a bit, but care is simple: sharp drainage, bright light, and modest water.
Variegated foliage Bright light for best color Drought tolerant Great for containers

  • Rock gardens and xeriscapes in frost-free climates

Care Tips
  • Planting iconPlanting InstructionsUse a pot with large drainage holes. Set the crown at or slightly above the soil surface; do not bury lower leaves. Acclimate to stronger sun over 7–10 days.
  • Moisture iconSoil MoistureWater thoroughly, then allow 75–100% of the mix to dry before watering again. Reduce water markedly in winter; never let the plant sit in water.
  • Soil type iconSoil TypeFast-draining cactus/succulent mix amended with 30–50% mineral grit (pumice, perlite, lava rock). pH near neutral is ideal.
  • Humidity iconHumidityLow to average household humidity; ensure good air circulation. Avoid consistently damp conditions.
  • Pruning iconPruning InstructionsRemove spent flower stalks at the base. Trim damaged or elongated leaves; allow cuts to callus. Remove declining rosettes after flowering once offsets develop.
  • Winter iconWinter CareProtect from frost; keep above 40°F/4°C. Provide the brightest possible light indoors and water sparingly to prevent root rot.
  • Depth iconPlanting DepthPlant at the same depth as in the nursery pot. Keep a 0.5–1 in collar of dry topdressing around the stem to discourage rot.
  • Fertilization iconFertilizationFeed lightly in spring–summer with a balanced, low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer at 1/4 strength monthly. Do not fertilize in winter.
  • Special care iconSpecial CareRotate the pot for even color. Provide 4–6+ hours of sun for red margins. Watch for mealybugs/scale; treat early. Propagate by offsets or leaf cuttings after callusing.
