Technical details:
Botanical Name: Kalanchoe tomentosa
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial succulent. Characterized by slow but steady growth, it forms compact bushes and adapts well to long life cycles if properly cared for.
Plant Height: Generally reaches a height of 30-60 cm, but can vary depending on growing conditions and pot.
Uses: Primarily ornamental. Perfect for rock gardens, succulent beds, pots and containers on terraces or balconies, and as a houseplant to enhance bright spaces.
Organoleptic/Aesthetic Aspects: Characterized by thick, fleshy, oblong leaves covered with dense, soft silvery or gray-green hairs that give them a velvety appearance. The leaf margins have dark brown, almost black, spots reminiscent of panda ears. The bell-shaped flowers are greenish-yellow or reddish-brown in color and appear on erect stems during flowering.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar, this plant is extremely drought-resistant and prefers warm, dry climates. It does not tolerate severe frost.
Sowing Period: Ideal in late spring or early summer, when temperatures stabilize above 20°C. It can also be sown at other times if in a controlled and heated environment.
Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires a light, well-drained substrate specifically for succulents. The ideal germination temperature is between 20°C and 25°C. It requires indirect but abundant light and controlled humidity. The seeds are very small and should not be covered excessively, but only pressed lightly into the soil.
Soil Type: A specific mix for succulents and cacti, composed of all-purpose potting soil, coarse sand and perlite in equal parts, will ensure optimal drainage.
Recommended Exposure: Prefers full sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day, but tolerates bright partial shade. Insufficient exposure can lead to stretched, less compact growth.
Germination Time: Germination can take 1 to 4 weeks, sometimes even longer, depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the seeds.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: Perfect for growing in pots, ideal for indoors or for moving seasonally. In warm, frost-free climates, it can be successfully grown in the ground.
Quality Specifications: Our seeds are Non-GMO, of selected varieties to guarantee distinctive aesthetic characteristics and boast a high germination rate, tested to ensure maximum success in your easy cultivation.
