Kalanchoe orgyalis - Copper Spoons

Highlights

Copper Spoons (Kalanchoe orgyalis) (Baker): Stemmed variety with velvety, spoon-shaped leaves that stand upright. This two-toned plant is a lovely cinnamon brown on the upper side of its leaves and silver underneath. As leaves age, they turn completely silver. In its native, rocky habitat in Madagascar, Copper Spoons can develop into a 6.0' tall, freely branching shrub, but this slow-growing species will stay smaller indoors in a pot. In late winter to spring it can produce clusters of sunny yellow blossoms.

This plant is also offered in a larger 3.5" pot.

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.
