Highlights
Penwiper Plant (Kalanchoe marmorata) (Baker): A large, resilient succulent with gorgeous foliage. Its leaves have a scalloped edge and a pastel, blue-green base tone. The foliage is ornately patterned with dark purple markings that give a marbleized appearance. It can send up a tall bloom stalk with pure white, tubular flowers. It is native to Central and West Africa where it grows on rocky slopes and pastures and develops into a small shrub.
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.
