  • Fuzzy wuzzy was a...Kalanchoe? That's right: this velvety soft succulent is commonly known as a panda plant or velvet ear but is botanically named "Kalanchoe tomentosa" and is highlighted in the 117th edition of "365 Days of Plants".
    In this video I'll cover where it's native to, how it grows, where it grows, and best conditions for lighting, watering, fertilizing and more.
    You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

    I have one and it’s in my bright bathroom. It gets east light, lots of humidity and only gets watered once every 2 weeks. Love the video. They are such cute plants

      They don't like humidity, she said that in the video, imagine the climate of Madagascar, that's your aim.
      I also water mine once a month and it doesn't need a lot, south facing window and its happy sitting by my aloe plants.

    You are so right about excess humidity. Here in San Clemente, Ca. we've been having an extraordinary amount of fog and typical damp, overcast weather almost all day sometimes. Some of my Kalanchoe have suffered a bit from what appears to be powdery mildew (shows as white, patchy areas on some of the upper leaves).

    TIL that I’ve been pronouncing kalanchoe wrong my entire life! These are one of my favorite plants from when I was a kid and I’ve managed to kill them all with kindness. With these tips, I think I’ll try again.

    Its so cool how easy succulents can be propagated. I "stole" three kalanchoe leaves from my moms plant. Now I have three little kalanchoe plants. If you see a succulent you like somewhere, just take a leaf with you and put it in soil. 😅

    • @Labyrinthine_Complexities
      @Labyrinthine_Complexities 5 років тому +7

      If you put it outside in summer, it will grow a lot more. The other Kalanchoe type that is more green with the red outlines around the leaves gets pretty big. Mine has turned into a beautifully structured guided succulent that flowers these nice coral florets during summer sun. The Panda get pretty rounded with large rosettes for me.

    I bought one with bent leaf... a week ago.. now I see it has roots growing from the upper part of the leaf. it's not even close to the soil, like a cm and a half, and one root already got down to the soil from that height,... no idea what it means and if anything will come out of it, it's just a weird thing it did

      All succulents and cacti have the ability to flower if the conditions are meant (although most of us grow them more for foliage). It harder to see bloom indoors, but for this one, they have small pale pink flowers.

      There are a few varieties, 'Black Tie,' 'Teddy Bear,' 'Chocolate Soldier,' 'Golden Girl,' 'Cinnamon' etc. are all names of different subtypes but they are all Kalanchoe tomentosa/panda plants.
