What is the plant

Kalanchoe panamensis or Kalanchoe marnieriana is a cute leafy succulent that can grow up to 18 inches tall and 3 feet wide. It can be grown together with other succulents in a container as a tall filler, or as a spiller then it's longer.

The flat and rounded leaves of Kalanchoe panamensis are blue-ish green and get pink tips in the winter. Instead of forming a rosette shape, the leaves are arranged oppositely and flatten together facing toward the tips. In late winter and spring, Kalanchoe Marnieriana produces tall flower stalks bearings cute red-orange bell-shaped flowers.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Do not water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
Fertilizer
Fertilize once per month during the growing season with a houseplant food.
Sunlight
Provide the plant with a bright, filtered light. Keep away from a direct sun.
