Technical details:
Botanical name: Kalanchoe thyrsiflora
Seed quantity: 10 seeds
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial succulent, characterised by a long life cycle and a notable capacity for adaptation.
Plant height: The rosettes of leaves can reach 30-60 cm in height and width. During flowering, the stem can grow up to 1-1.5 meters.
Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, succulent beds, borders, potted plants on balconies or terraces, as a bright houseplant, or for creating low-maintenance xeriscapes. Primarily ornamental.
Tasting Notes: The leaves are fleshy, thick, and shaped like a paddle or spatula. The base color is a waxy grayish-green, turning vibrant shades of deep red at the edges and tips, especially in direct sunlight and with appropriate water management. The inflorescence is a tall stem with small yellow flowers, but the main attraction lies in the foliage.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to South Africa, it is extremely resistant to drought and heat. It tolerates short periods of moderate cold but requires protection from prolonged frost.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer in a controlled environment, or when night temperatures are consistently above 15°C outdoors.
Optimal germination conditions: Kalanchoe thyrsiflora succulent seeds require light to germinate; it's important not to over-cover them with substrate. The ideal temperature for germination is between 20°C and 25°C, with constant but not excessive humidity.
Soil type: Requires a well-draining, slightly sandy soil specifically designed for succulents and cacti. A neutral or slightly acidic pH is optimal.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or bright partial shade. The intensity and richness of the red color of the leaves are directly proportional to direct sunlight exposure.
Germination times: Variable, generally from 7 to 21 days, depending on environmental conditions and care.
Pot or ground cultivation: It lends itself beautifully to both methods. Easy pot cultivation offers the advantage of being able to move the plant for protection during the colder months.
Quality Specifications: Our Non-GMO seeds are carefully selected to ensure high germination and varietal purity, ensuring healthy, vigorous plants.
