Highlights
Mexican Hat Plant (Kalanchoe x houghtonii): A bryophyllum type Kalanchoe that's a hybrid of K. daigremontiana x K. delagoensis. This variety has opposite, narrow leaves that reach 3.0" to 6.0" long with margins that bear young plantlets. It is aggressively prolific and will choke out other plants around it.
Please Note: All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
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.
