How to care for a Kalanchoe Magic Bell 'Desert Rose'
Watering Kalanchoe Magic Bell 'Desert Rose'
This succulent prefers moderate watering. Only water again when the top inch of soil feels completely dry. In spring and summer, this is usually every 10 to 14 days, but in winter, you can halve this frequency. Ensure well-draining soil and, if necessary, mix some perlite into the potting mix to prevent root rot: https://deplantrekkers.com/products/perliet .
Light for Kalanchoe Magic Bell 'Desert Rose'
The Desert Rose prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal, where it can catch a few hours of soft sun. Sufficient light encourages compact growth and abundant blooms. Avoid bright midday sun behind glass to prevent leaf burn.

Common problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Check that the potting soil isn't constantly moist and adjust your watering accordingly. If you suspect root rot, read our guide to saving your plant: https://deplantrekkers.com/blogs/nieuws/wat-moet-je-doen-bij-wortelrot-bij-je-kamerplanten .
Plant leaking moisture
Droplets or moisture discharge can occur in high humidity or sudden temperature fluctuations. Place your plant in a slightly cooler location and reduce the humidity in your home. Ensure good ventilation without drafts.
Pests
Spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids are attracted to the tender succulent. Regularly inspect the leaf axils and clean them at the first sign. A natural pest control solution is available with neem oil or our sticky traps: https://deplantrekkers.com/products/sticky-traps-tegen-rouwvliegjes .
Carrots are coming out from underneath
When roots emerge from the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot and fresh, airy soil. This gives the roots room to continue growing healthily: https://deplantrekkers.com/collections/potten-voor-kamerplanten-kopen .
Brown leaf edges
Brown edges indicate overly dry air or irregular watering. Increase the humidity with a plant diffuser or place a bowl of water nearby. Our blog post about increasing humidity will help you get started: https://deplantrekkers.com/blogs/nieuws/5-tips-om-de-vochtigen-in-je-huis .
