About Kalanchoe Oricula
Kalanchoe Oricula, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in Madagascar and southern Africa and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It is characterized by varied succulent leaves (smooth, lobed, hairy), an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
We grow Kalanchoe Oricula at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
