Kalanchoe Millotii problems — and how to fix them
Kalanchoe Millotii (Kalanchoe millotii) is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Leggy, stretched growth
Sparse spacing between leaves means insufficient light; move to a brighter window to restore the compact, fuzzy form.
Rot from wet foliage
Water sitting in the felted leaves or crown can cause fungal rot; water at soil level and keep airflow good.
Overwatering
Soft, yellowing or translucent leaves signal soggy roots; let the soil dry fully and check the pot drains freely.
Mealybugs and aphids
Pests hide among the dense hairs and new growth; treat with diluted isopropyl alcohol or insecticidal soap and isolate.
