A succulent plant producing a stalk about 1m tall, dying back after flowering. It forms a basal rosette of large, rounded, fleshy stalkless leaves, which are grayish-green with red margins, covered with a white powdery bloom. The inflorescence is terminal and erect with densely clustered thyrse-like panicles of greenish waxy flowers with yellow recurved lobes, narrowly urn-shaped. Flowering from autumn to spring. Common in grassveld amongst rocks. Widespread over Asia, Africa and Madagascar, the genus is distinguished by its flowers, which have their parts in fours, the stamens being in 2 whorls of 4. Features Fleshy, paddle-like leaves form rosettes that resemble the shape of a clamshell; bears clusters of fragrant tubular flowers in early spring Adaptable As Houseplant Heat Tolerant Deadheading Not Necessary Drought Tolerant Characteristics Garden Height: 14 Inches Spacing: 6 - 8 Inches Flower Colors: Yellow Flower Shade: Yellow Foliage Colors: Green Foliage Shade: Light Green Habit: Mounded Container Role: Filler Plant Needs Light Requirement: Sun Bloom Time: Late Winter to Early Spring Hardy Temperature: 25F Hardiness Zones: 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, 11a, 11b Uses: Landscape Container Uses Notes: Use in rock gardens, mixed containers and desert plantings Duration: Annual Water Category: Average Maintenance Category: Easy Kalanchoe rotundifolia Kalanchoe rotundifolia is a brittle succulent plant which grows up to 1m tall under favourable conditions. Adanson who derived the name Kalanchoe from the Chinese name for one of the species, described this genus in 1763. The species name rotundifolia comes from the Latin and means "round leaves". It is a orange-flowering species with a slender stem. It has fleshy, rounded or lobed leaves that are 2.5cm broad and are clustered at the base of erect stems. It must be noted that some of these plants, although with the species name rotundifolia, have leaves that are not round. They were grouped together because they had other similarities. The genus Kalanchoe typically has a tubular flower. Flowers are borne in an inflorescence with a long erect stalk. The flat-topped inflorescence consists of yellow or orange flowers and often become red and conspicuously twisted when old. The flowering period occurs through autumn and early winter (February until June). Kalanchoe rotundifolia is widely distributed in South Africa and Zimbabwe. It is a delightful little plant that puts up a brave show in clumps among trees and shrubs. The robust red flowering specimens are rewarding garden plants, flowering for many weeks. Kalanchoe rotundifolia is traditionally used by the Zulu as a charm to make one invisible. Growing Kalanchoe rotundifolia This is an easy plant to propagate from both seed and cuttings. The seeds of these plants are very fine and must be collected as soon as they are ripe before they disperse. The best time to sow these seeds will be early spring in order to give them plenty of time to grow before late autumn. Sowing may be done either in seedling containers or directly into the garden. Ideal cuttings for propagation are semi-hardwood and soft tip cuttings. Cuttings should be planted into river sand and there is no need to apply root-stimulating hormones. Each leaf is capable of producing a new plant when it drops to the ground. The root
