I have a Japanese Dogwood and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips for how to care for it. It’s currently in about a 2 inch plastic pot that sits inside of a slightly bigger pot. Any help would be greatly appreaciated

I could be wrong, but I believe that’s actually a kalanchoe. Japanese dogwood and kalanchoe flowers look similar but their leaves look different.

Thank you so much. They do look very similar

i was gonna say kalanchoe too. if so, try keeping her in a bright sunny spot \& let her dry a bit before watering. like a succulent!

Her flowers are beautiful tho

#### A respondió el 2024-03-23

Thanks. I’ve had her for about a month and a half now

That’s nice. My first plant recently died after having him for 1 year because of to much water he was a succulent

Succulents do tend to be quite picky in terms of water and light but when u get the amounts right they’re quite pretty
