Two years ago, my wife received this plant for her birthday with lovely white flowers all over it. I have watered it and fertilized ii and it has doubled in size but it has never flowered again. What do I need to do?

I believe they are reluctant to rebloom in home care, more light may be needed.
Plant it and they will come.

I agree The kalanchoe that is sold flowering in grocery stores and big box stores need very high light to rebloom. Inside the house they need at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight. They can be put outside in the summer; this may help.

mountainma contacted me via mail and I googled up a link that says,Kalanchoe needs a period of light/dark treatment to make it bloom.
But here's a thread with similar or more info
The thread "Kalanchoe needing darkness?" in Houseplants forum
Plant it and they will come.
