Kalanchoe curvula

A little-known Malagasy Kalanchoe described by Descoings in 1997, recorded from the humid northern and eastern highlands. Expect it to want brighter-than-forest light, mild temperatures, and more moisture than desert succulents, though almost nothing is published about its habitat.

Where it grows wild

Habitat is not documented in the sources consulted. The records fall in humid mid-elevation areas, where Kalanchoe usually grow on rocks or in thin soil in clearings; this is a genus-based guess.

The climate sites are at 755–1400 m; no record carries its own elevation.
