Feature Flower Friday!
This week, we're shining the spotlight on Kalanchoe!
Kalanchoe is a genus of tropical, succulent plants with about 125 species in the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae). Most Kalanchoe species are native to Madagascar and tropical Africa, with some also found in southeast Asia and China.
Many species and cultivated varieties of Kalanchoe make great houseplants because they have low water requirements, are easy to propagate, and come in a wide range of flower colors. They do require lots of light, so make sure you put them in a south or west window (or add a grow light) for the best results.
There are several different species and varieties of Kalanchoe spread throughout the Regina Floral Conservatory - how many different ones can you find?!
The photos included in this post are of two varieties of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
