Kalanchoe baharensis 'Maltese Cross'

Novel compact cultivar growing much smaller than the species with heads 10 to 15cm across on short stems to 50cm.

Numerous offsets appear as the plant grows to form a short compact shrub. Plants can easily be cut to maintain shape; new heads form at the cut point.

Position - full sun or partial shade. Great in gardens, borders, rockeries or pot. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.

Watering - can be watered all year round. Plants will survive without water for short periods.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less food, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can reduce flowering period.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.

Good growing
