Lack of lighting
Kalanchoe is a plant that came to us from the tropics and belongs to succulents. It also loves light and can suffer from its oversupply. Light day for him should be no more than 10 hours. To do this, the pot with the plant should be placed on the windowsill, where the flower should receive portions of sunny color before noon, then the window should be darkened.
This can be done with the help of a usual scarf or a special material, having covered the window opening with it. You can also, just clean the Kalanchoe in a dark place, thereby creating the effect of the night. With a large light day, the Kalanchoe does not bloom and is often drawn out. 
Important! Kalanchoe is very much afraid of long direct sunlight on its leaves, because they lead to their burns, and later to the death of the plant.If you live in winter latitudes, with a short daylight hours, the plant will need an increase in daylight hours. This can be done using conventional fluorescent or special fitolamp for plants.
Unsuitable cultivation soil
The soil for our tropical guest should be neutral or slightly acidic. This can be purchased at garden stores, but you can do it yourself. To do this, we need to mix 1 part of the sheet soil 2 parts of sod land and add on the floor of the river sand and marsh peat. 
Before planting or transplanting Kalanchoe into the soil prepared by us, it must be washed with boiling water to disinfect and prevent the development of parasites.

An insufficient amount of moisture will cause the Kalanchoe to dry, high humidity may adversely affect the root system. Therefore, watering is carried out as the drying of the topsoil. 
In the summer, watering is carried out no more than 2-3 times a week, in the winter it should be limited to 1 time. Water for irrigation must first be defended for several days. Water temperature for irrigation should be at room temperature. Too hot or cold liquid can destroy the plant.
Kalanchoe recommend keeping in the bedroom, as the plant cleans the air. Chlorophytum, spathiphyllum, begonia, geranium, and cactus are also good at this task.

Gardeners, figuring out why their Kalanchoe flowers do not bloom at home, pay attention to the temperature regime.

In winter, the plant needs to reduce the temperature to + 15 ... +17 ° C. In winter, the plant can be put on a balcony; in early spring, with the advent of buds, it is brought into a warm place.

Only need to feed carefully, preferably in reduced doses. The excess fertilizer can lead to the fact that the leaves will begin to gain mass and the buds will not be formed at all. 
No rest at the plant
If Kalanchoe no longer blooms, then this may be due to a lack of rest. The rest period for a plant is created after it has faded the first and subsequent times. To do this, cut all flower stalks, and put the pot in a dark and cool place with a temperature of + 15 ... +17 ° C for 3-5 weeks. Watering the plant in a period of rest, you need very rarely, not more than once a week.
