Product Details
Highlights
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (pink bloom): An easy to grow houseplant with phenomenal flowers. It grows large, robust foliage with a waxy feel and scalloped edges. This variety has showy, prolific flowers of bright pink that can last for many weeks and re-bloom throughout the year. It can grow into a small sub-shrub, reaching 18.0" tall and 20.0" wide at maturity.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.

There is just one plant in each of our 'Sunrise' pots. 'Sunrise' is one of the many succulents that is known to offset. In essence, the stem will divide and make more whole rosettes of leaves that resemble another plant of the same species. Offsetting is similar to a branch of a tree, only this plant starts branching below the surface of the soil. I hope this helps!

If you're interested, there may be some small, white seeds in the pods where the flowers used to be. These tend to have a high germination rate if you want to give seed propagation a try.
Variegation can also happen rarely in seeds, regardless of whether either of the seed's parents were variegated or not.
1) There is some stress that affects the young flower buds more so than the actual mature plant or,
2) There is some pest that selectively targets the buds
As far as stresses go, my first thought is sun stress. Your plant's foliage may be adjusted to the sun that it gets, but the young flower buds are more sensitive to it. However, although unlikely, water could also be an issue. Your plant may need a tad more water when it blooms to fully flower.
Thrips are a very small insect that have been known to selectively target flower buds. You can control them with a mild insecticide like… See full answer »
1) Kalanchoe laetivirens - mother of thousands. These plants rapidly make more of themselves by growing tiny plants on the margins of each leaf. Keep in mind that if Kalanchoe delagoensis (aka mother of millions) were currently in stock at the time of writing this, I'd recommend that instead.
2) Sedum spurium 'Tricolor'. These plants have the variegated appeal of 'Sunrise' but they grow much faster. They're also cold hardy and grow aggressively in outdoor flower beds. However, many hardy Sedum will work here.
3) Delosperma Jewel of Desert (or equivalent). These plants are similar to 'Tricolor' in that they're cold hardy and pretty, but these plants also have impressive blooms. When they bloom, flowers can cover the whole plant! There are plenty of other Delosperma plants that fit this role, so don't be… See full answer »
However, your plant is variegated. That's where the pink and yellowish colors come from. Some variegated plants have been known to lose their variegation with time. This isn't super common with Anacampseros telephiastrum f. variegatum, but it's certainly possible.
1) It will take a long time to grow the seeds. Succulents are notoriously slow growers when compared to many other plants.
2) The variegation on the leaves (the pink part) won't be passed down from parent to offspring. You'll end up with a bunch of plain green versions of this plant.
The advantage, of course, is that seeds are fun! But I wanted to give you those warnings anyway and I'll post a link here to propagating via cuttings. Happy planting… See full answer »
