Kalanchoe ambolensis

A Madagascan Kalanchoe described by Humbert in 1933 from Ambolo in the far south-east, known from very few records at 500–700 m. Nothing specific is published on its habitat; grow it like other shrubby Madagascan Kalanchoe: bright light, a free-draining mix and warm, rather humid conditions with a cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Not documented; the records come from the hills near the south-east coast where humid forest meets drier vegetation, and Kalanchoe there usually grow on rocks or in open, well-drained places.

Recorded at 500–700 m.
