Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
Flowers: green-yellow violet-flecked
Cultivation and propagation: It is very easy to culture. If planted directly in a garden bed, they can easily reach 40 cm and produce large heads of blossoms. Growing this kalanchoe in a container or pot restricts their growth.
Exposure: Mature plants do best in full sun to partial shade. Indoors, it does best in bright light, but not direct sun through a window.
Watering: It needs moderate watering in autumn and spring, while in summer it should be watered thoroughly and allowed to dry before watering again. In winter give it only occasional watering (only when the plant starts shrivelling). These plants will survive on neglect. Over-watering is the most common cause of plant failure. It can resist also to long drought periods.
Frost resistance: The plant can be cultivated in open air only in the zones with tropical, subtropical and, marginally, warm temperate climate and it is hardy to -2°C for short periods, but cannot tolerate hard freezes. USDA Zones 9B - 12.
