Are you lookingfor the perfect indoor succulent for any room? Then the stunning panda plant, known as Kalanchoe tomentosa, is your answer. This lovely furry succulent plant is native to Madagascar and is a member of the well-known Kalanchoe genus. It gets its name from the fuzzy, silvery leaves that resemble the fur of a panda. This Panda plant has a unique appearance with its thick, oval-shaped leaves that are covered in tiny fine hairs, giving it a soft and fuzzy texture. It's like petting a panda! 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa is sometimes referred to as the "Chocolate Soldier" due to the brownish-red markings on the edges of its leaves. It's like having a soldier made of chocolate! However, it's important to note that "Chocolate Soldier" is also the name of another cultivar of Kalanchoe tomentosa that has a more pronounced chocolatey coloration throughout its leaves. It has several other common names, such as pussy ears, cat ears, donkey ears, and plush plants. 

When fully grown, this slow-growing kalanchoe tomentosa can reach heights of up to 2 feet and has a robust, thick stem that develops branches and several grey-green leafy clusters. When properly pruned, they can produce branches that extend below the level of the pot, and so they are great for growing in a hanging basket. It grows in a compact and bushy shrub-like growth habit, making it a perfect addition to your indoor garden or as a charming decoration on your desk. 

The flowers of Kalanchoe tomentosa only bloom in their natural habitat with small yellow-green tubular-shaped flowers in spring and summer.   

Additionally, you can propagate your panda plants by leaf cuttings and stem cuttings. These summer dormant plants are mildly toxic for pets and humans if consumed, so keep these panda plants away from children. 

Overall, the Panda Plants are delightful succulents to have in your collection. Its unique appearance and easy-care requirements make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts. So, if you're looking for cute and low-maintenance house plants, these Panda Plants are definitely worth considering! Read on to discover how to grow a panda plant indoors or outdoors.  

Watering Needs 

The watering needs of the Panda Plants are similar to other succulent plants. These Kalanchoe plants have adapted to survive in arid environments, so they don't require frequent watering. To avoid root rot, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. 

When watering your indoor Panda Plant, make sure to give it a thorough soak, allowing the water to fully penetrate the soil. Then, wait until the top inch or so of the soil is completely dry before watering again. The kalanchoe tomentosa still survive even if you neglect to water them for a week or two. However, this does not imply that they can be neglected. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater your kalanchoe succulents. They are more drought tolerant than they are of excessive moisture. So, be patient and let your Panda Plant enjoy a little dry spell between drinks! 

Light Requirement 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa loves basking in bright light. It thrives in bright indirect sunlight, so placing it several feet away from a sunny south-facing window or in a well-lit area is ideal. 

However, be cautious about exposing your Panda Plant to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during the hottest parts of the day. This can cause sunburn on its furry leaves. If you notice the leaves turning brown or developing spots, it may be a sign of too much sun exposure. Providing some shade or diffusing enough light with a sheer curtain can help protect your Kalanchoe tomentosa. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key! Aim for bright, indirect light to keep your Panda Plant happy and healthy. It'll appreciate the sunshine without getting too much of a tan! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to soil and fertilizer needs for your Kalanchoe tomentosa Panda Plant, it's important to provide it with well-draining soil. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your Kalanchoe succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own succulent potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

As for fertilizer, the Panda Plant doesn't require a lot of feeding. During the growing season, which is typically spring, you can use a balanced NPK diluted fertilizer once a year. Apply it once a month or as directed on the fertilizer packaging.  

Remember, less is more when it comes to fertilizer for your Panda Plant. It's better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize, as excessive nutrients can cause damage. With the right soil succulent mix and a light touch of fertilizer, your Kalanchoe tomentosa will thrive and show off its adorable leaves! 

Hardiness Zone & More 

Native to Madagascar, the Kalanchoe tomentosa is typically grown as a houseplant in many regions. In terms of hardiness zones, it is generally recommended to grow Panda plants indoors in USDA zones 10-11, which have mild to warm temperatures year-round. 

When it comes to temperature, the Panda Plant prefers a range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures, but be cautious of extreme heat, as it can cause stress to the plant. As for humidity, the Panda Plant is adaptable and can handle average indoor humidity levels. It doesn't require any specific humidity requirements. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the temperature and humidity levels in your specific location and adjust accordingly to provide the best growing conditions for your Panda Plant. With the right climate, you can grow Panda Plants indoors for healthy growth.

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!!!!!!
Color: B3: Gold Bar + Birthstone, Color: B3: Gold Bar + Birthstone
My fiancé and I lost our 3 month old baby boy. I thought long and hard and hunted through Amazon hoping to find something thoughtful to get him to comfort him and I saw these urn necklaces. I was a bit hesitant because they’re supposed to hold baby’s ashes and I wasn’t sure how he would feel about that but they arrived and we absolutely love them. There are two different chains so he will wear the thicker one and I’ll wear the thinner. The words are written perfectly, the stones are beautiful. It’s small enough that we never have to take them off and big enough to read the words clearly. It’s just the most beautiful and thoughtful gift I could ever give him. This product gets 10 stars!!!!!! Thank you to the company for giving us a gift that will keep our baby boy forever close to our hearts.

It was perfectly done!
Color: B2: Black Bar + Birthstone
Everything was perfect and nicely packaged. Included a wipe and a little funnel to put ashes in so it can go inside the necklace. Everything was done correctly. It's definitely a great product for the money you're using. The quality of the print was good. It's comfortable to wear as well. The detail I added were correct. It's a great weight as well.

Mom thinks they're comfortable.
Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone, Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone
Got a set for me and my brother. We both like them, they're great quality. Had a bit of an issue with mom getting stuck in the funnel the whole time, but that's an issue with her, not the product.

Came on time
Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone
It’s very pretty and the engraving is precise and done well I’m not a big fan of the stone it’s not the right color for July it’s more of a dark pink instead of red but besides that it’s a good deal for the price I plan on buying 2 more hoping the color of those stones will be better.
