@Aphria you're welcome, glad to be of assistance. It's important for your plants to go through a vegetative cycle, produce some new leaves and take up nutrients. Your Kalanchoe thinks it's been through a winter dark cycle, it was forced to bloom at this time of year. It's bloomed and now thinks it late spring, early summer when it would naturally grow. You have plenty of time to let it do this. You only need the six weeks of the dark cycle to set it to bloom again. You could do that in early January and stop in late February, early March when your day lengths are getting longer and it will react naturally.

I used to collect and grow many of these plants.
