Highlights
Marnier's Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe marnieriana aka K. panamensis) (Jacobsen): A robust, upright grower with stacks of blue-green, coin-shaped leaves on narrow stems. Grows this see-green beauty in bright sun to get coral flushing on its leaf margins. The foliage has a light coating of powdery, natural wax to protect it in full sun. This branching sub-shrub is native to Madagascar and can reach 12.0" tall at maturity. It needs protection from frost but makes an excellent indoor plant on sunny window sills. It produces tall bloom stalks, from which dangle large, coral, bell-shaped flowers.
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 bright 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.

Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
Aerial roots are common for Kalanchoe and they usually mean your plant is looking for water, or stability.
These roots form under drought stress, especially in humid areas, because they can actually pull water from the air. Cutting these roots off and giving your plant more water will discourage the growth of these roots. Just be careful not to over water as a result.
If your plant is not getting enough light, it may become etiolated. This means the plant will elongate it's stem rapidly, without producing new leaves. This makes the stem unstable as it grows too tall, too quickly. As such, and etiolated plant may produce these roots to "hold on" to objects around it for stability.
Of these two options, the first is far more likely to be the reason your plant is making aerial roots.

Kalanchoe marnieriana is not known to produce little plantlets (bulbils) along its leaf edges like Mother of Thousands, but this similar looking K. fedtschenkoi occasionally will!

Kalanchoe can be mildly toxic if ingested, so we do not consider them to be pet safe. K. marnieriana is not known to produce little plantlets (bulbils) along its leaf edges like Mother of Thousands, but this similar looking K. fedtschenkoi occasionally will!
• Staff Answer
It wouldn't get enough light. A south facing window would be best. You could also supplement its light with a grow light, which you can read about by clicking the link below. However, because you live in a zone 10a area, you could grow this plant outdoors. If you do that, be sure you give it plenty of morning sun with afternoon shade.

All dead.

“Unfortunately all four of the succulents I ordered arrived very shriveled. I was still hopeful and tried to revive them but after a week with no sign of life I’m afraid they will all be a lost cause.”
