Kalanchoe rhombopilosa, commonly known as "Pies from Heaven," is a striking succulent native to Madagascar. This small, slow-growing perennial is prized for its unique, silvery-green leaves that are slightly fuzzy and adorned with brown markings. The plant’s leaves, triangular and wedge-shaped, are fleshy and fragile, detaching easily at the slightest touch, making it important to handle with care. Growing up to 30 cm tall, Kalanchoe rhombopilosa develops woody, upright or sprawling stems that are covered in soft hairs, adding to its distinctive appearance.
In spring, this succulent rewards with clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers, sometimes tinged with pink and adorned with purple lines. These delicate blooms add a pop of color, making it an attractive choice for indoor gardeners looking to add something a little different to their collection.
Kalanchoe rhombopilosa thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and prefers bright light, though it should be shielded from harsh direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn. While it can tolerate dry periods, it’s important to water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This plant grows best in a warm, seasonally dry tropical climate and has a dormancy period during cooler months.
Easy to care for, this succulent requires little maintenance but should be placed in a pot with good drainage. Clay pots are an excellent choice, as they allow for proper airflow and prevent waterlogging. However, be cautious when repotting, as the fragile leaves are prone to snapping.
