Kalanchoe bogneri

A small, little-known Madagascan Kalanchoe recorded from only a handful of sites. Its climate is hot with a sharp wet season from December to March and a long dry season, so grow it as a warm, summer-growing succulent that is kept drier in winter.

Where it grows wild

Little is published; like other small Madagascan Kalanchoe it most likely grows on rock outcrops and stony ground in dry deciduous bushland, often in the partial shade of rocks or shrubs.

Few records carry an elevation.
