Kalanchoe 'Gremlin'
Kalanchoe synsepala 'Gremlin', also known as the walking Kalanchoe or Kalanchoe 'Gremlin', is a captivating evergreen succulent that originates from the rugged terrains of Madagascar. This plant is a standout addition to any succulent collection, garden, or indoor space, thanks to its unique foliage and growth habits. The walking Kalanchoe boasts fleshy, grey-green leaves adorned with pink-purple margins, creating a striking contrast. These leaves form in terminal rosettes, reaching lengths up to 15 cm and widths of about 7 cm, displaying a robust and vibrant presence in any setting.
Kalanchoe 'Gremlin' thrives under bright light to partial shade conditions, making it versatile for various placements, from a sun-drenched garden spot to an east-facing indoor window. This plant's adaptability continues with its watering needs; as a drought-resistant succulent, it stores water in its leaves, requiring minimal watering. The key to a healthy Kalanchoe 'Gremlin' is allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, ensuring the plant is not left in soggy conditions which can lead to root rot.
The plant's unique feature is its ability to produce long stolons or runners that end with baby plantlets, which eventually take root away from the parent, giving it the name 'walking Kalanchoe'. This fascinating propagation method, combined with its minimal care requirements, makes Kalanchoe 'Gremlin' a delightful choice for gardeners of all levels.
Indoors or out, Kalanchoe 'Gremlin' adds a touch of rugged beauty to any landscape or home. It requires well-draining soil and benefits from occasional feeding during the active growth season. With a mature size of about 40 cm in height and 30 cm in width, this succulent fits well in rockeries, pots, and as an intriguing indoor plant in bright, indirect light.
The walking Kalanchoe is not only a visually appealing plant but also a conversation starter, thanks to its unique growing and propagation habits. Whether for a succulent enthusiast or someone looking to add a low-maintenance plant to their collection, Kalanchoe synsepala 'Gremlin' is a resilient and striking choice.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
