Kalanchoe Tubiflora (Bryophyllum delagoense)
A very interesting succulent quite unique. Growing upright with very small flower tips. Because of the toxicity of this species and its hybrids, and especially of the flowers, it has been declared a noxious weed in Australia.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
This plant rarely blooms. But well grown larger specimens can flower profusely in winter, even with little or no water. The flowers last about 5 weeks so it is well worthwhile trying to get some
Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Use a cacti and succulent potting mix, or your own mix which drains easily (part sand). The panda plant is a slow grower which will only need re-potting once every 2 years and then less once it matures.
Propogation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Leaf cuttings can be taken and planted in new soil during spring. Give the leaf cutting a week of drying out before re-potting, then you can expect them to begin rooting within 4 weeks.
