About Kalanchoe tetraphylla
Coming from Madagascar and southern Africa, Kalanchoe tetraphylla is a succulent of the Crassulaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. Its most distinctive feature is varied succulent leaves (smooth, lobed, hairy), a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
Every specimen of Kalanchoe tetraphylla from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
