Kalanchoe 'Spider'
About Kalanchoe 'Spider'
Plants in the Kalanchoe genus are native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. They range from rubbery green leaves, to leopard print, and some are even fuzzy! The word Kalanchoe comes from the Cantonese name for these plants, pronounced Ka-lun-koh-ee in English. Their succulent leaves help store water during droughts, so they'll be just fine if you skip a watering or two (it happens!).

raise you hand ✋🏼 if you have what i like to call “seasonal plant depression”. i have not used this app since the leaves outside started to turn color😅 im fully aware that my houseplants require my help to stay alive…however, i can. not. stay motivated enough through the dark season of winter to keep up with them. i don’t know if it’s the lack of vitamin d or if my mind has been programmed to believe all things green must die in the winter. but every year, one of my plants surprises me with a resurrection that i’d never believe to be possible. lord behold, my kalanchoe who i started watering again like a week ago, has decided her will to live is stronger than my will to let her die 🙌🏼 here’s to a full summer (& hopefully winter if i can get my life together) of beautiful, healthy houseplants 🥲😍 #SucculentLove

Leggy kalanchoe trimming suggestions? I’ve wanted to trim this plant for a while but I’m struggling to decide where I want to cut it. Looking for suggestions and wondering what you guys would do in this situation? The longer I wait the taller it grows and it’s almost out of space😅 #Kalanchoe #SucculentSquad #Succulents

Need advice- new plant mom here #houghtonshybrid #Kalanchoe Worried my plant is not well.. when I got her the bottom leaves were slanted downwards so I was under the impression that was normal, but I became concerned when I saw the leaves on top were curling under like a scroll and also a different shade of green. Also, some of the tips of its leaves towards the bottom are burnt looking, even on the larger baby. What am I doing wrong? I thought I may have overwatered it at one point. The soil seems to be dry but I believe it’s damp at the bottom. Also, I have noticed some gnats buzzing around the soil, but I have recently sprayed neem on the plant and soil. Should I keep it directly under a grow light for 8 hours? Or is that too much? I am pretty sure I should replant it in a bigger, better draining pot, but what about the babies? Will they survive being re-potted? Do you let the babies continue to keep growing with the mom or are you supposed to take them out and plant in another pot? What type of soil do you recommend? I really love my plant baby and just want her to be healthy and happy so any helpful advice and or suggestions is much appreciated! Thank you :) #lovesuccs #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentLove #NewGrowth
