About Kalanchoe marmorata
Kalanchoe marmorata, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in Madagascar and southern Africa and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It stands out for varied succulent leaves (smooth, lobed, hairy), a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we produce Kalanchoe marmorata with artisanal technique in southeastern Spain, following a cultivation protocol that replicates the sun, dryness and mineral conditions of its native habitat. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
