That's a bit scary. I'm thinking spiders legs 😱😱😱

Lol...I assure you they are cuter than spiders 😄😆 @charlotte

Pretty, but I see what you mean though. @charlotte

Thank you Susan @novicegardenlover it's the hairy sight of it 😄😂😄

What a coincidence, I just ordered some cuttings of this today! I have the normal Kalanchoe tomentosa and saw this one in an online store. I think it’s stem cuttings as heard these are near impossible to propagate by single leafs - is that right? 🤔

To be completely honest, I haven't tried it. One leaf did fall off and it began to propagate- but a birdie borrowed it without return 😑😂😂 But now I'm intrigued! Will try it... I'll let you know @richard.spicer.7906 😉

Well I hope he brings it back! 🤭😆 - ooo yes please, do let me know. It was only something I read online so not sure if it was true or not. But I did have a leaf that a friend gave me a couple of years ago and it did nothing after a year so I threw it away.

@richard.spicer.7906 Let the experiment begin!!😄😄

Somehow killed both of my chocolate soldier plants recently but my normal panda plant is doing just fine... a little confused on what I did wrong 🤔

But my panda plant came from #martinshomeandgarden and the chocolate soldiers from #lowes & #kroger ... not sure if that has anything to do with it...

I've had a 50/50 experience myself with Walmart plants. Some survive, some rot too quickly. All because in these places they don't receive the proper care 😞 It's a general watering for all plants... No special needs or care. It's sad...I go to the garden section and see massacred plants all the time @rosechilders101

They are definitely loving their new spot... #funinthesun #thursdaydelight #kalanchoechocolatesoldier #succulent #kalanchoe-tomentosa-chocolatesoldier
