Kalanchoë blossfeldiana
Overview of Kalanchoë Queen®KingSize
Kalanchoë Queen®KingSize is a striking newcomer in the world of houseplants, building on the widespread popularity of Kalanchoën (Kalanchoë blossfeldiana). This plant truly lives up to its title as a folkkär krukväxt—last year, Kalanchoë topped the Swedish top-10 list of houseplants, confirming its status as a beloved choice in homes across the country.
Unique Features of the Queen®KingSize Series
Even though the Kalanchoë is already a staple product, there are ongoing innovations in the market. The launch of the Kalanchoë Queen KingSize series marks a major breakthrough in plant breeding, delivering flowers in a size not previously seen in traditional Kalanchoë varieties.
The most exciting feature of the Queen®KingSize is without a doubt its stunning flower size. In professional cultivation, the size of the bloom is often compared to a 2 Euro coin or a Danish 20-krona—noticeably larger than what you find in classic Kalanchoë plants. The blooms themselves are reminiscent of Camellias, with a full, lush appearance that makes them true showpieces in any setting. This makes them not only larger but also more visually impactful than the standard Kalanchoën.

Plant Structure and Benefits
Queen®KingSize holds onto the signature bushy, succulent form with softly scalloped leaves typical for Kalanchoë. The plant generally reaches a compact size, perfect for window sills or table arrangements, but it’s really the impressive blooms that steal the show. These camellia-like flowers come in a wide array of rich, vibrant colors, adding a fresh and luxurious feel to any indoor environment.
Care and Longevity
Queen®KingSize is just as undemanding as its traditional relatives. It needs:
- Bright, indirect light — although some soft direct sun is tolerated.
- Infrequent watering — let the soil dry fully between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Well-draining, sandy soil to support healthy succulent roots.
- Protection from frost, as it thrives best in warmer indoor conditions.
With proper care, Kalanchoë can bloom for several weeks, and with attention to its light cycles, can even rebloom year after year.
Why Choose Queen®KingSize?
Besides size and strong visual presence, Queen®KingSize is recognized for excellent durability and long shelf life—characteristics much appreciated by both retailers and home gardeners. These plants have improved resistance to ethylene, the natural plant hormone that can cause wilting, which means blooms remain fresh for much longer.
In Conclusion
In summary, Queen®KingSize has truly “taken the throne” among indoor plants, offering exceptionally large, Camellia-like blooms and vibrant colors, all while keeping the resilient, easy-care charm of the classic Kalanchoën. With ongoing innovation in breeding, the Queen®KingSize continues to win the hearts of plant lovers everywhere and sets a new standard for what a folkkär krukväxt can be.
