Kalanchoe fernandesii

A little-known Kalanchoe described by Raymond-Hamet in 1950 from northern Mozambique, with only two wild records. Treat it as a sun-loving summer-growing succulent: warm and watered in the hot wet season, kept drier through the long dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Not documented for this species; Kalanchoe in the Nampula lowlands typically grow on rocky granite outcrops and in dry open woodland, and this profile assumes that.

The measured site is at about 320 m in northern Mozambique.
