Highlights
Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi f. marginata (now known as Bryophyllum fedteschenkoi): A succulent subshrub with a fun, unusual look. Its scalloped-edge leaves have a blue-green base with variegation of cream and hot pink. It is also known as "Variegated Lavender Scallops". This plant thrives outdoors in part sun, or indoors near a sunny window.
This Kalanchoe is native to Madagascar where it is a prolific grower and can reach up to 20.0" tall. When it gets tall, it will bend to touch the soil where it can grow new roots. It can also occasionally produce new plantlets along its leaf edges.
The flowers on this variety are quite stunning, particularly in large groups. Numerous coral, tubular blooms hang like bells and attract pollinators. Blooming often takes place in winter for this variety.
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.

The plants contain poisons that effect the heart of living things. Symptoms of Kalanchoe poisoning include an irregular or quickened heartbeat, excessive salivation, and abdominal pain. If you believe your pet has consumed Kalanchoe plant material, the best course of action would be to take them to a vet immediately along with a sample of the plant in question.
If you believe a loved one has consumed Kalanchoe plant material, it would be wise to call poison control at (800) 222-1222.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
