Kalanchoe tomentosa (Panda Plant)

Thick, soft, furry leaves give Panda Plant its common name.

Branching from the central stem, the plump, rounded leaves taper to a point. They're silvery green marked with reddish-brown edges. The "fur" is actually soft, fine hair that covers these succulent plants.

And like other types of succulents, Kalanchoe tomentosa is tolerant of dry air. It makes a good house plant for heated homes.

Light: Bright light to full sun. Put this succulent in a bright location year-round. If you move it outdoors for the warm months, move it gradually to a sunny location to avoid scorching its leaves.

Watering: Water thoroughly, allowing the top 1 in (2.5 cm) to dry out between waterings. Take care not to get the fuzzy leaves wet because they can rot. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent soggy potting mix.
