Walking Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe synsepala)

Walking Kalanchoe, also called Cup Kalanchoe, is a unique succulent that produces long, stoloniferous runners with baby plantlets at the ends. These plantlets root when they touch the ground, allowing the plant to "walk." The leaves are large, fleshy, and cupped, with pinkish margins.

Botanical Profile

Family:Crassulaceae (krass-yoo-LAY-see-ee)
Genus:Kalanchoe (kal-un-KOH-ee)
Species:synsepala (sin-SEP-al-uh)

Propagation and Care

Bright light and well-draining soil. Water sparingly. The runners can be guided or cut off for propagation. The plantlets root easily. The cupped leaves collect water, so avoid overhead watering. A fascinating, self-propagating succulent.
