Kalanchoes:
It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and its scientific name is gastonis-bonnieri.
Its common name is "Oreja de Burro" (Donkey's Ear), among other names, because of the way it arranges its leaves, drooping like a donkey's ears.
They are of African origin.
They grow like invasive shrubs and their height can reach 60cm. The leaves are thick, light green to gray. They are covered by a white lint or powder. With erect stem and leaves on the sides of the stem.
I kept this plant in a small pot. It developed few leaves, at its distal end on the leaves it presented the small plants that characterize it.
He adapted to the semi-shadow. They also adapt to the sun, but this particular plant was kept in semi-shade.
It's not a plant that needs a lot of humidity in the substrate. I usually wait until the soil is dry to add more water.
Plants need land with the same conditions as most cacti. With good drainage so as not to get flooded with excess irrigation or rain water.
This plant is easy to grow and propagate. By taking one of the children that come out at the end of the plant and transplanting it, you will have a new plant.
It's the first time that this flower rod has developed with a small plant size. I think it's because I kept it in a small pot and it took little water after the storms ended.
In a little while, it will have salmon-colored bell-shaped flowers.
