Panda Plant

Kalanchoe tomentosa, the Panda Plant, is a captivating succulent admired for its velvety, grey-green leaves edged with rusty brown, giving it a wonderfully tactile quality. This plant is best grown in the UK as a houseplant or as a summer patio plant, brought indoors before the first frosts. It forms an upright, branching shrub-like habit, adding interesting texture to any collection. While it can flower, producing small, greenish-yellow blooms on tall stalks, its furry foliage is the main attraction. It thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-drained soil. A charming and low-maintenance specimen.
