Kalanchoe daigremontiana - Octopus [large]

Highlights

Kalanchoe daigremontiana 'Octopus': A fascinating succulent with elongated, fleshy green leaves that reach outward like octopus arms. Purple spotting and streaks decorate the leaf undersides, while toothed margins give the foliage a bold outline. Tiny plantlets develop along the edges and can root wherever they land, making this upright grower a prolific propagator best enjoyed in a container. Provide bright light, well-draining soil, and protection from frost, watering only when the soil is dry.

Please Note: All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.

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.
