Well I do not have one but Google says..

Time your watering carefully. Kalanchoes will perish if overwatered, so be sure to allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Thoroughly soak your kalanchoe, and remember to empty your drainage tray of any excess water. Sitting water will likely cause root rot and mealybugs.  
Choose a location that receives bright sunlight. Place your plant near a window that receives indirect sunlight. If your kalanchoe begins to look unhealthy, it is likely a result of low light or poor light conditions.  
Regulate temperature to keep your plant healthy. Ensure that your plant is not placed in a drafty area, and keep the temperature of its environment above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  
Provide conditions that allow your kalanchoe to rebloom. Cut off the spent flowers of your kalanchoe, then move your plant to a darker space for approximately four weeks. Reduce watering until new flower buds begin to form, at which point your kalanchoe can be returned to its regular, sunlit space.  
Watch out for common pests. Common garden pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and mealybugs can cause problems for your kalanchoe. Use natural pest control to keep these pests at bay, as pesticides can be harmful to kalanchoe plants.
