Kalanchoe Fedtschenkoi

 

Lavender Scallops

Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi is a small shrubby succulent that grows to 50cm tall with stems that spread out and root along the ground to form large colonies. They sport fleshy, lavender grey-green leaves with a pink shading on the scalloped leaf margins. In late spring to early summer it produces bell-shaped reddish-brown flowers that hang in loose clusters from upright stems.

Propogation by cuttings

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Easily propagated by a single leaf. Place a healthy leaf on top of the soil and watch it grow.

 

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Kalanchoes do well in clay pots, and they must have a drainage tray that can be emptied. They’re small plants that don’t often have to be repotted.

 

Flowering

From Early Spring TO Late Winter

Many people choose to throw out the plant after it is done flowering, but it can re-bloom with a bit of time and patience. Cut off the flowering head and let the plant rest for about a month. Then give it at least 12-14 hours of continuous darkness followed by 10 hours of bright light for 6 weeks to develop buds. Reduce the watering and feeding during this time. Once the buds have formed, the plant can resume its normal light conditions.
