The rounded, deep green leaves grow from a central stem, getting larger as they age. The edges look almost frilly, except that because it's a succulent the leaves are quite thick. The centre of the plant is rose-like from above especially considering the delicate pink colour more familiar to flowers than foliage. A great choice for forgetful plant parents, this Kalanchoe is easy to please with an east- or west-facing window and not too much water, and in summer can produce a flower spike with a cluster of tubular flowers - a showy display which will look fantastic on any windowsill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eKalanchoe fedtschenkoi\u003c\/em\u003e (Fedtschenko's plant where the parts that fall grow)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSynonyms: \u003cem\u003eBryophyllum fedtschenkoi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis plant has also been known as \u003cem\u003eBryophyllum fedtschenkoi\u003c\/em\u003e following a 1974 paper, but its original designation in 1915 as \u003cem\u003eKalanchoe fedtschenkoi\u003c\/em\u003e is now once again the accepted classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eVariegated Kalanchoe, Mother-of-thousands, Chandelier Plant, Variegated Lavender Scallops\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to rocky parts of Madagascar, growing at elevations between 330-3260ft (100-1000m) above sea level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eYour Kalanchoe will grow best in bright light, with an hour or two of morning or evening sun but protected from the harshest midday sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAllow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
