Kalanchoe neglecta

A succulent Kalanchoe of the hot, summer-rain lowlands of northern KwaZulu-Natal (Maputaland) and southern Mozambique. Growers should give it warmth, a wet summer and a drier winter with cooler nights, as for other East African bushland kalanchoes.

Where it grows wild

Bushland and dry forest margins of the Maputaland coastal plain and nearby lowlands, likely in partial shade of shrubs. Inferred from the genus and recorded sites; little is published.

Most records are below 450 m; one record near 1,460 m in the interior looks like an outlier.
