Inflorescence of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana features terminal branched racemose or semi-umbellate inflorescences located above the leaves. The formation of the flower stalk terminates the vertical growth of the main stem, shifting the plant's development toward lateral shoots.

In the reference 51 varieties crop Flaming Katy, where this is mentioned in the description.

The inflorescence typical for this crop is terminal and develops after the completion of the main stem's active growth. Its appearance marks the plant's transition to the flowering stage, with subsequent vegetative development occurring through the formation of lateral shoots, which also terminate in inflorescences.

The initiation of flower buds and the subsequent formation of inflorescences are directly dependent on day length. To initiate this process, the plant requires a short day length of 8–10 hours for approximately six weeks.
