Kalanchoe Pumila, also known as Flower Dust Plant, is a perennial succulent native to Madagascar. Epicuticular wax covers white-silver to pink foliage, creating a frosted appearance. This variety has a short shrubby habit of 9-12" tall and spreads 24-36" wide. Pink flowers bloom on tall stems from late winter to early spring. This summer-dormant species excels as a houseplant or in zone 9-11 as an ornamental addition to a xeriscape or outdoor container. In cold climates, bring containers indoors over the winter. Kalanchoe Pumila needs little maintenance or water to flourish in full or partial sun or bright indirect light. This plant is a low-maintenance, unique addition to any collection.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Kalanchoe Pumila, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container, three plugs per 1-gallon container, or 4-5 plugs per 10-inch container. Use a well-drained mix of peat, sand, and perlite with a pH of 5.6-6.2, EC (2:1) of .50-.75, low feed (100-150 ppm N), daytime temperatures of 68-85, and nighttime temperatures of 60-75. Pinching may promote branching but will delay finishing time. Supply 5,000-7,500 foot candles of light. Water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With no overwatering, any disease is rare among this plant. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
