Technical details:
Botanical name: Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, carefully selected to ensure the highest quality.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: A succulent perennial with a long and robust life cycle. It typically blooms from late spring to summer, offering a long-lasting display of color.
Plant height: Mature plants usually reach 30-60cm in height, with a spreading habit that makes them excellent as groundcover or for filling large pots.
Uses: Perfect as an ornamental plant for rock gardens, xeriscape beds, borders, and pots and containers on terraces or balconies. It can also be used as a houseplant in well-lit spaces.
Tasting Notes: The leaves are fleshy, oval in shape, with a distinctive blue-green color and pink, red, or purple edges, often finely serrated. The small, bell-shaped flowers appear in shades of orange-red or mauve-purple, clustered in apical inflorescences.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar, this Kalanchoe is exceptionally drought-resistant and heat-tolerant. It prefers mild climates and must be protected from frost.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, but can be done at any time of the year in controlled environments with stable temperatures.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires indirect but abundant light, a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, and a consistently moist but not soggy substrate. Seeds should be sown shallowly, as they require light to germinate.
Soil type: Prefers well-drained, sandy soil or a mixture with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to prevent waterlogging. The ideal pH is neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or bright partial shade. In regions with very hot summers, light protection from direct sunlight during the hottest afternoon hours is recommended.
Germination time: Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi seeds usually germinate within 7-21 days, but times may vary depending on environmental conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: It adapts beautifully to both methods. When growing in pots, always ensure adequate drainage holes. In open ground, it thrives in areas with mild winters.
Quality Specifications: Our vegetable and garden seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), represent a variety selected for its best ornamental characteristics and are guaranteed for their high germination.
