    The Kalanchoe thyrsiflora requires moderate water. Water it when the top layer of soil feels dry, about once a week. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

    The Kalanchoe thyrsiflora requires well-draining potting soil, preferably a mix specifically designed for succulents and cacti. Make sure the potting soil doesn't become too moist to prevent root rot. It is recommended to replace the potting soil about every 2 years to keep the plant healthy.
