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.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
Many plants in the genus Kalanchoe are poisonous to pets, so I wouldn't recommend allowing your cat near one.
If it does eat this plant, or any plant in the genus Kalanchoe, I recommend bathing the cat in a non-irritating dish soap, to remove any trace of the plant from the cat's fur. If the cat develops poisoning symptoms, like difficulty breathing, drooling, frequent urination, over-drinking, vomiting, and irregular heartbeat, then take it to the vet immediately, along with a cutting from the plant so the vet knows what poisoned the cat. I hope this helps!
Then, simply follow the steps at the link below.

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.
IN POTS…
See full answer »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.
