Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Teddy bear'

A stunning new cultivar of tomentosa.

Forms dense clusters of 8cm heads growing to 20cm high. Very slow growing, can easily be cut back to keep small. Tolerates most soil types with good drainage and can survive periods without water.

Position - full sun or partial shade. Great in gardens in milder climates, but best in pots under some protection. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.

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