Mystery beauty

What is this plant? My husband attended a banquet today and these were used for the decoration. Apparently the sponsors didn't want them back because he came home with 3 of them. I love the color and lushness. Is it Kalanchoe?

    I bring mine in for the winter and around January they start blooming again, a lovely bit of color at that time of the year! Enjoy these plants for years!

    Kalanchoe is correct, and it can be a long lasting plant. I've had mine for 2 years and I put 2 colors together and it looks wonderful!

    I also have orange and pink Kalanchoe. They grow in the ground and in pots at my home in So. California year around. Unless it's expected to freeze, they stay outside.

    Definitely Kalanchoe, I have one in white. I'd never seen one in white, so I had to have it! The white is sooo crisp against the green foliage!

    @Adriana - Glad that I wasn't the only one. After so many responses, I thought I must be the only one in the world who didn't know. :-) @Sandra K - I know! I was shocked too. He said there were about 40 tables & they were the centerpiece and giveaway. Most of the guests didn't want to take them either. So, he grabbed 3 for me. I just came from Home Depot & they have a lot in all colors. I love my freebies and hope I can keep them for a long time. They are gorgeous with intense, saturated color.

    Ok a Kalanchoe, how do you keep these plants alive? I have 2 that I got in December, they loose the flower very quickly, mine are still struggling to stay alive. they hardly have any leaves on them, but I dont get rid of them because I keep thinking they will come back.

    My kalanchoe sat in an east window but never bloomed. To my surprise one branch began to set buds! I figured it out--every night when I lowered the roman shade it went down behind the plant except for one branch that was always behind the shade. From that I found out that the kalanchoe must have complete darkness for a certain time in order to bloom. The light over our kitchen sink stayed on all the time so it never bloomed.(Some things are learned the hard way.)

    bright light if in the house and dont water too often inside but they can weather the outdoors come spring thru fall and require lots of water outdoorsand can tolerate full sun to light shade outdoors...flowering plants dont always bloom for us at home grow them for the great foliage and thank your lucky stars if you are a grower who can get additional blooms but they certainly wont stay in flower for you year round anyway.....all plants have a blooming season

    Kalanchoe. I like them and have started some from leaves which I pinched off a friends plants. Mine like lots of natural light, but they do come in many different colors, I just haven't seen any in the blue range.

    AKA "Blooming Katie" - and yes, Kalanchoe. Do not overwater as these are succulents and hold water. Bright light (can be hardened off in spring and grown outside) is needed; is not cold-tolerant.

    Kalanchoe's are hard to kill. lol. So if your's is dying, move it somewhere else, where it can get some sun and all. Mine bloomed all winter in my green house and I could not even get to it to turn it or not even sure it got water. I no longer have the same property and no longer a green house, so I leave mine outside till a freeze then I bring it up onto the washer in the laundry room. Not heated or insulated in there either.... but if hard freeze here, I cover it and wrap them a bit.
