Buying a panda plant? The Kalanchoe tomentosa houseplant has greenish-gray, silvery, woolly, hairy leaves. This makes this succulent unique and very recognizable.

The panda plant (Kalanchoe tomentosa) is native to Madagascar and is also a member of the succulent family. It has upright, branched stems and greenish-gray, softly hairy leaves.

Panda plant care

What you see is what you get. Don't expect flowers on this plant. Do place it in a bright spot. Like a true succulent, it can survive almost dry conditions, especially in winter. So water it no more than once a month, and be sure to let the soil dry out first. It's also perfectly fine to leave the soil dry for a while. After watering, let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Most succulents die from overwatering, as this can cause root rot. Want another one? Gently break off a leaf and place it in the pot. New roots will grow where the leaf breaks.

Panda plant cuttings or propagation

Propagating a panda plant? To grow young Kalanchoe tomentosa succulents, it's best to break off a mature leaf and place it on the soil in the pot. After a while, the leaf will produce small new roots on the side of the break, and a new plant will grow from that point. Later, you can transplant your cutting to a new pot. Voila, you have a new panda plant!
