Flowering succulent with rich flower colors. Popular as gifts. Many unique species like Mother of Thousands.
Kalanchoe is a genus of about 125 tropical succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae, predominantly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. The genus is best known horticulturally for K. blossfeldiana and its hybrids, which produce long-lasting clusters of small flowers in red, orange, yellow, pink, or white and are among the best-selling potted plants worldwide. As short-day plants, they require extended periods of darkness to initiate flowering. Other notable species include K. daigremontiana (Mother of Thousands), which proliferates by producing tiny plantlets along leaf margins. Kalanchoes prefer bright indirect light and well-draining soil, with watering only when the substrate has dried. They are sensitive to overwatering and frost, but can be overwintered easily indoors above 5°C.
