The Kalanchoë Tomentosa is sometimes called the panda plant. It gets this name because it has very soft, cuddly leaves. These are covered with transparent, small hairs. This makes it feel so soft. Not only beautiful and soft, but these hairs also ensure that the plant loses less moisture. The edges of its leaves have a rusty color. Special, soft and above all super easy to maintain.

Care

How much water does the Kalanchoe Tomentosa need?

Since the Kalanchoe Tomentosa is a real succulent, it does not need much water. It stores a lot of water in its leaves and can therefore easily stand dry for a longer period of time. Watering it once every 2 weeks is certainly sufficient. Make sure that it does not stand with its feet in the water. It does not do well with that. In the winter it goes into dormancy, so give it even less water then. Let the soil dry out between waterings.

How much light does the Kalanchoe Tomentosa need?

In terms of light, the Kalanchoe tomentosa is really not a difficult plant. It can stand in full sun as well as in a more shady place.

How do I repot the Kalanchoe Tomentosa?

Since it is a succulent and is therefore used to a nutrient-poor soil, you should definitely not repot it every year. We recommend giving it some new soil, specially composed for succulents, every 2 years. Make sure it is a well-draining soil. If the soil retains a lot of water, the roots of the Kalanchoe Tomentosa can start to rot. Here you can read more about what to do in case of root rot .

Power supply

The Kalanchoe Tomentosa does not need much extra nutrition. It does not grow very fast and does not use up nutrients from the soil quickly. In the spring, if you want to stimulate growth, you can give it some extra nutrition once every two months, especially for succulents.

Is the Kalanchoe Tomentosa poisonous?

The Panda plant is poisonous to both humans and animals. So it is best to keep it away from pets or small children. The sap that comes from its leaves is poisonous when ingested and can cause skin irritation if you come into contact with it. So be careful!
