I was just wondering if it was possible to rebloom kalanchoes without placing the in the dark for a month. Can I leave them outside?

Kalanchoes typically will flower in the spring when the days get longer. In the winter time, keep the plant in a south-facing window. In April, when the days get longer, it will start flowering. Once it starts flowering, move the plant to an east- or west-facing window to lenghten the bloom time. If you want to force it to bloom, simply put the plants under artificial plant lights for 13 hours a day.
