Kalanchoe laetivirens, Aranto, is a species of Kalanchoe with large grey-green leaves and thousands of pups along their broad edges.
As a succulent, the Kalanchoe have an optimized relationship with both the sun and water : lots of the first and little of the second.
These plants are ideal for areas of your garden that don’t get a lot of water – or parts of your apartment that you forget to water 🙂
Allowing the soil to dry out between watering is great, allowing the soil to become a powder between waterings is too much.
If you replant the Kalanchoe in a windowsill, the pups will sprout on their own and before you know it, you’ll have a Kalanchoe zoo!
They grow in bunches, constantly dropping their pups , forming large colonies and capable of taking over entire garden boxes and indoor planters. When they are many, they begin to look like a pre-historic forest. Something out of Jurassic Park maybe.
It’s great, highly recommend.
GARDENING TIPS: Kalanchoe laetivirens
-
- The flowering is dependent on the climate, though largely at the beginning of spring in temperate climates.
- The Kalanchoe, as succulents, are absolutely NOT frost-tolerant. Especially if you live in an area with high humidity, they will perish.
