Kalanchoe ceratophylla

An Asian Kalanchoe, a 20–100 cm subshrub with deeply cut, antler-like leaves and yellow flowers in early spring, native from the eastern Himalaya to Taiwan and the Philippines. It is a monsoon plant: wet and warm in summer, cooler and drier in winter, and grows easily in bright light with a gritty mix.

Where it grows wild

Grows on open, sunny slopes, rocky ground and scrub in the monsoon tropics and subtropics; habitat detail is generalised from the genus because few wild records exist.

Few records carry an elevation; probably lowland to hills.
