Kalanchoe synsepala 'Walking Kalanchoe'
check_circle In Stock
A Madagascan succulent known for its unusual “walking” habit. Kalanchoe synsepala produces long runners that form new plantlets at the tips, allowing the plant to slowly spread across the pot or bench.
The thick green leaves develop reddish margins when grown in bright light, forming a broad rosette. As the plant matures it sends out long stolons that produce offsets, making it an interesting and fast-multiplying species for succulent collectors.
