Panda Plant
Kalanchoe Tomentosa
Medium Care
The Panda Plant is a darling of the Bloombox Club Headquarters!
These gorgeous succulents will make a bright and sensory addition to your outdoor or indoor plant collection. They have velvety, fleshy leaves that are super soft to touch and can produce small red, pink, yellow or orange flowers.
Kalanchoe tomentosas are very easy to maintain. They can be enjoyed as indoor plants all year round but as they are native to tropical and subtropical climates, popping them outside in warmer weather will help them thrive! Find them a bright spot out of direct sunlight and make sure to use succulent or cactus potting mix!

How to care for Panda Plants
Like most succulents, the Panda Plant is easy to care for and doesn't require too much attention, however, that doesn’t mean that they can be completely neglected.
- The ideal temperatures are between 15ºC and 23ºC
- Bright light and sunshine are welcome! A mixture of direct, indirect light and shade is ideal!
- Water it once the soil has gone dry. Soak the soil but don’t leave water in the bottom tray.
- This plant is a slow grower but it will appreciate reporting once every 2 years, less when it matures. Use a cacti and succulent potting mix.
- During summer and spring, feed it with a liquid fertiliser once every 4 weeks.
- They are not fussy about humidity and can tolerate dry air.
The Panda Plant Story
Also known as Pussy Ears and Donkey Ears, it’s easy to understand why the Kalanchoe tomentosa was given these nicknames. Fuzzy texture, colour and shape make them look like ears.
Where is it from?
They grow naturally on the island of Madagascar

Panda Plant Care Guide
Light
I love bright light and sunshine but don't leave me in a sunny spot behind glass for too long!

I am a succulent so only water me once the soil has become dry, then soak the soil, but don't leave me sitting in water. During the winter you'll need to water me even less
Temperature
Room temperatures of 16-24°C are perfect./p>
Feeding
Feed me once a month during the spring and summer with half strength fertiliser.
Grooming
I'm super easy - no fuss required!
Care
Overwatering is my most likely cause of illness. I can withstand being dry but not wet!
