Bryophyllum beauverdii, more commonly known as Kalanchoe, is a vine native to Madagascar. It is a small plant, usually growing no more than 2-5 feet tall. Its leaves are up to 2 inches long, and have unique black-violet color. While the plant prefers full sun, it is also able to thrive in semi-shade and requires moderate to occasional watering. It is a hardy plant and can be grown outdoors in USDA Zones 9-11.

Kalanchoes are great for garden beds as both a ground cover and a climber. Its unique leaves and flowers will add color and interest to your garden. As an indoor houseplant, Kalanchoe is one of the best gifts for gardeners, being easy to care for and long-lasting.

When planting Kalanchoe outdoors, ensure it is in well-drained soil in a sunny area. The plant prefers soil with a slightly low acidity. Water regularly but don't overwater - allowing the soil to dry out between watering can help prevent root rot. Mulching helps to provide the plant with a more consistent temperature, as well as retaining moisture in the soil.

For those living in colder regions, Kalanchoe can be grown in pots and stored in a cool, dry place during winter. During the colder months, water only occasionally, and avoid too much direct sunlight, as the strong sun can damage foliage.

Overall, Kalanchoe is a beautiful, vibrant plant with plenty of color to add to your outdoor and indoor garden. With regular care, you can enjoy its unique leaves and flowers for many years to come.

Bryophyllum daigremontianum (Mother of Thousands) is a small shrub grown in USDA Zones 9-11 that grows 2 to 5 feet tall and makes an excellent ornamental foliage and flowers in landscape. This succulent African native enjoys a warm climate but can survive dry conditions and the salt of the seaside. Growing in full sun or partial shade and receiving adequate rainfall, this evergreen plant displays showy flowers in shades of pink, red and crimson.

To care for your Mother of Thousands succulent, place in a sunny location with good air circulation in a well draining soil. Keep it moist during the spring and summer months, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry slightly between waterings, and reduce watering during the winter months. Adding a little bit of fertilizer in the summer months will ensure your Bryophyllum daigremontianum produces healthy leaves and flowers.

If you'd like to grow Mother of Thousands in cold regions, you can create a suitable environment in a container and bring it inside during the winter. When potted, use cactus soil or a soil made of equal parts of sand, peat moss, and potting soil, and use a container with drainage holes. While it is better to keep it in a warm spot, it can survive cooler temperatures, such as a garage or a cool basement, if you allow some direct sunlight. Additionally, you can use a grow light to ensure your Bryophyllum daigremontianum gets the light it needs. Make sure to keep it moist, but not too wet, and repot as needed.

Mother of Thousands is not only an ornamental plant, but it serves as a traditional medicine plant with ethnomedical properties. Its sap can be quite irritating, so be sure you wear gloves when handling it. In conclusion, this attractive succulent is a great and easy-to-grow addition to your garden or container, and its drought tolerance makes it a valuable part of coastal, low-water gardens.

Kalanchoe
Family: Crassulaceae
Origin: Madagascar
USDA Plant Hardiness MapSmall plant 2-5 ftFull sunModerate waterRed, crimson, vinous flowersOrnamental foliageSeaside, salt tolerant plant

Bryophyllum fedtchenkoi, otherwise known as Kalanchoe, is a small plant native to Madagascar that can grow 2-5 feet in height. It is an extremely ornamental species, containing leaves of bluish-green hue with brown margins that can take on a pink hue when exposed to a sufficient amount of full sun. These foliage-rich plants are hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, and are typically seen in seaside climates due to their salt tolerance.

The flowers of Bryophyllum fedtchenkoi are vinous in colour, ranging from a deep red to a crimson hue, with their inflorescence reaching 12" tall. The blooms are incredibly attractive, making it a popular choice for gardeners.

Growing this bushy-branched specimen is easy - and it can be done in pots for those living in colder climates. When planting in pots, it is important to use a well-draining material, and avoid moist and waterlogged conditions for best results. Moderately watering about once a week during dry seasons, and keeping the plant in plenty of full sun should not pose too much of a challenge, and should allow the Kalanchoe to thrive.

Bryophyllum is a plant genus of the Crassulaceae family that has sometimes been included within the genus Kalanchoe. The group is notable for vegetatively growing small plantlets on the fringes of the leaves; these eventually drop off and root.
