Kalanchoe krigeae

A little-documented South African Kalanchoe known from only a handful of records in the Mpumalanga escarpment area at about 1,000 m. Treat it like other summer-rainfall bushveld Kalanchoe: bright light, warm summers with regular water, and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

The four records cluster in one small area of the Mpumalanga escarpment; habitat details are not published in sources reached, so rocky bushveld slopes typical of the genus there are assumed.

The climate site sits at about 1,070 m; the records themselves carry no elevation.
