Happy to reply. So many of my plant pics were also taken right after watering. Something about watering seems to make people want to take some pics.
About half of the plants I've gotten in the mail were damaged in transit at the point where the plant emerges from the soil. They were packed well, but it still couldn't prevent that kind of damage. I haven't ordered many times that way, but it happened to too many of the plants in each shipment, both times I did it.
There are other Kalanchoes that I love that are more appreciative of being watered and a little less light. Like K. blossfeldiana, for its' blooms
Florist Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)
and K. hild. for its' cool silvery, almost-fuzzy foliage and slow growing nature
Silver Teaspoons (Kalanchoe hildebrandtii)
