Panda PlantKalanchoe tomentosa

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.

Water sparingly, especially during winter dormancy, ensuring excess water can drain freely from the pot to prevent waterlogged conditions and root damage.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife to make cuts just above a leaf node.

This encourages bushier growth and keeps the plant tidy, ensuring it remains aesthetically pleasing.

Propagate from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep lightly moist and place in bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within a few weeks, leading to new plants.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
