Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical Name: Kalanchoe pumila
Quantity of Seeds: 10 selected seeds per pack
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial succulent with compact growth and ground cover. Its perennial nature allows it to thrive for many years with proper care.
Plant Height: It usually reaches a height of around 10-20 cm, with a drooping or spreading habit that makes it ideal for pots and borders.
Uses: Primarily ornamental. Excellent for interior decoration, rock gardens, succulent beds, balconies, and terraces. It can also be used as a trailing plant in hanging baskets.
Organoleptic Characteristics: The leaves are fleshy, obovate in shape, with serrated edges and covered with a silvery-white waxy bloom that gives them a velvety appearance and unique color. The small, tubular flowers are pinkish-purple in color and develop in apical cymes during the flowering period, adding a delicate touch of color.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar. Extremely drought and heat tolerant, but not frost-hardy; in cold climates, it should be grown as a houseplant or protected during the winter.
Sowing and Flowering Period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when temperatures are milder. Flowering typically occurs in winter or early spring, providing a splash of color when many other plants are dormant.
Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires a constant temperature of about 20-25°C. The substrate should be kept slightly moist but never soaked. Indirect but bright light promotes good germination.
Soil Type: Prefers a very well-drained soil, specifically designed for succulents, or a mix of peat moss, coarse sand, and perlite. Drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Recommended Exposure: Requires a bright location, with several hours of direct sunlight per day. In full sun, the leaves take on a more intense color and the plant remains more compact.
Germination Time: Kalanchoe pumila seeds can germinate in 1 to 4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the seeds.
Pot or Open Ground Cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, even small ones, and in open ground in Mediterranean or subtropical climates, where it can form dense carpets in rock gardens or dry flowerbeds.
