Dinner-plate Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe thyrsiflora

Medium size

Exquisitely colored leaves

Highly recommended

The succulent greenish gray, red-tinged leaves of this unusual-looking plant from South Africa are as large as dinner plates. This plant grows to 24 in. (61 cm) tall and offers a lot of color.

Dinner-plate kalanchoe thrives in bright light. Plant it in a potting mix of equal parts houseplant soil and sharp sand. Keep the medium evenly moist, but do not overwater. Feed quarterly with 20-10-10 fertilizer. The plant tolerates temperatures down to 55°F (13°C) at night. Because propagation is difficult at home, purchase new plants from suppliers instead.
