Kalanchoe marnieriana

A compact, shrubby Kalanchoe from moist rocky places in southern and south-eastern Madagascar, close to K. fedtschenkoi in habit. Grow it bright and warm in a fast-draining mix, and keep it drier through the cooler dry season.

Where it grows wild

It grows among rocks in moist, rocky places in southern and south-eastern Madagascar, rooting in pockets of grit and humus between stones.

The Madagascan records sit at about 700 to 1,700 m; the 1,700 m site pulls the measured climate cooler.
