Kalanchoe ballyi

A Kalanchoe known only from the coastal hinterland of southern Kenya, between Mombasa and Malindi, at low elevation. Little is published on its habitat; grow it like other East African coastal Kalanchoe: bright light, warm all year, and a free-draining mix watered generously in growth and sparingly in the drier months.
