Kalanchoe Millotii—a mesmerizing plant with a foliage that’s akin to soft velvet and carries a silver sheen. Known for its low-maintenance care routine and stunning aesthetic, this captivating succulent is great for small spaces!
Kalanchoe Millotii is native to Madagascar, where it thrives in arid, rocky landscapes. Its origins in this environment make it particularly well-suited for indoor and outdoor cultivation in various settings.
The leaves of the Kalanchoe Millotii grow in a rosette formation and can reach lengths of 4-6 inches. The soft, silver-gray leaves are fleshy, storing water to help the plant survive in its native, arid conditions.
While not particularly known for its flowers, Kalanchoe Millotii can bloom under the right conditions. When it does flower, expect to see small, inconspicuous, greenish-yellow blossoms that appear in clusters. The flowering period is usually in late winter to early spring but can vary depending on the growing conditions.
What sets Kalanchoe Millotii apart from other Kalanchoes is its distinctive, velvety leaves. The texture not only adds to the plant’s visual appeal but also serves a functional role, helping to reflect sunlight and conserve moisture.
Methods to propagate Kalanchoe Millotii:
Leaf Cutting is the easiest method of propagation.
For Kalanchoe Millotii, choose a pot that is 6-8 inches in diameter, which will be good for a few years to come. Based on its growth and spread, re-pot it into one size bigger pot than the old one when the need arises.
Place it near a south or west-facing window where it can receive filtered sun or dappled light for at least 5-6 hours every day. Protect it from the harsh midday sun, as intense light can scorch its delicate foliage.
