Kalanchoe rhombopilosa

With a natural habitat as a sub shrub in lightly wooded areas, Kalanchoe rhombopilosa is well suited to growing in containers and indoors. Being a naturally small growing species with attractive foliage year round this is a good plant for small apartments and growing on shaded balconies as well as indoors in a well lit position.

A white flowering form is available as is a form with thicker fleshy leaves with more of a green colour to them

Grown for the attractive foliage which is best described as cupped, a silvery green colour flecked with brown. Sometimes called ‘Pies from Heaven’.
