Product Details
Highlights
Silver Teaspoons (Kalanchoe bracteata) (Scott Elliot): A stemmed, upright grower with velvety, ovate leaves of silvery white. The foliage also has a powdery coating of farina (epicuticular wax) that protects it in full sun. It can grow bushy if given space and produces red to orange, bell-shaped blooms. This freely branching shrublet is native to Madagascar where it can grow to 4.0' tall.
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 ample sunlight, 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.
