Plant/Product Description:
Kalanchoe beharensis 'Fang', commonly known as Felt Plant, is a striking succulent with large, felt-like leaves that are covered in soft, silvery hairs. The leaves are elongated and triangular, with a distinct, jagged edge that gives the plant a unique, almost sculptural appearance. Fang produces small clusters of pink to orange flowers in the winter, adding a pop of color to its silvery foliage. This plant is perfect for containers, hanging baskets, or as a feature plant in desert or succulent gardens.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. Too much direct sun can cause the plant to lose its silvery sheen.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires well-draining succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Kalanchoe beharensis 'Fang' is dormant in the summer, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by leaf cuttings or offsets.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Kalanchoe beharensis 'Fang' is toxic to pets if ingested, so care should be taken to keep it out of reach of animals.
