How to care for Panda Plant | Chocolate Soldier | Kalanchoe Tomentosa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Kalanchoe Tomentosa, or also known as Panda Plant or Chocolate Soldier, is an adorable slow-growing perennial succulent with cute grayish-green leaves that are entirely covered in tiny white-silvery hairs and edged in dark chocolate-colored that will grow up to 2 feet in height and diameter. It is a very attractive plant, especially when it blooms delicate tubular-shaped flowers in Spring and Summer.
Additionally, Panda Plant is fairly easy to care for and does not require much attention to thrive. So if you are a busy office worker who tends to forget to water your plants or someone who doesn’t have a lot of gardening experience, then Kalanchoe Tomentosa is the perfect choice for you!

well done video, very informative and condensed
Glad it helped :)
I have one that gets mostly shade and mottled shade but has been through a few days in the low 120s and dozens of days in the 110s and incalculable days in the 100s and is thriving. Actually just had to repot it cause it grew faster than I expected.
In the time I've had the plant its also lived through a hurricane, and evn temps in the low 30s with a rare bit of snow. This plant is a survivor.
Sounds great!!! Keep up the good work!
Best Tomentosa Video so far 👍🏼
Glad you like it 🥰
Thank you for the helpful video! ❤ I just gifted my daughter her first succulent of this type.
Aww... So lovely! She definitely loves it
thank you so much i have always wanted to grow a panda plant i thought it will be hard (because of all the searching in google) but this video was really helpful
we glad that this is helpful to you
Thank you so much❤
Glad you like it 🥰
Just got one today. He is happy in his new pot. Lots of rocks too. Looks like yours on the right😂😊😊
What about using the plastic pots with string in the bottom and you water them from the bottom?
I wish I could send u a pic of my version of this plant where it appears to have air roots that are both green and brownish red.
❤❤❤
Thank you for posting. It's very hard to find information on KALANCHOE TOMENTOSAs. Your info will help a lot. I just bought my first one and do not know (until now) how to care for them. THANKS!
Wow glad it's helpful for you! Hope your baby thrives well 😊
Thanks for the notes. When is the best time for propagation?
Hi there, you should propagate them during their active growth period
Where is the other video on watering?
My mom bought this for me early September without knowing what it actually is. So today, I decided to use google lens to find what species it is and led me to here. What's worrying me is that I haven't given it proper care before this for 4 weeks 😅. But thanks for the video! Also, is it okay for my succulent to be out in the sun for the whole day 3 times a week since the sun here will rise at 7 am and set at 7 pm? My school bus usually arrives at 12 pm and it doesn't have enough time to absorb at least 5 hours of light if I put it back indoors before my bus. I can't really hope for anyone in the house to do it since it's only my grandma and siblings because they tend to forget about my reminder. Plus, it's a bit too heavy for them.
Hi there! Please check out your succulent after a long time of your caring method, whether it thrives well or not. If yes, you may just keep going. If not, you may consider to put your succulent in a place where it can get 6-8-hour filtered light per day (when the sun shines on the plant through a barrier such as other trees, a glass window or thin curtains).
Hope your baby grows so beautifully 💞
Hi, I have a panda plant that had beautiful big leaves with beautiful dark spots around the leaves , but now the leaves are getting very small and the nice dark spots around the leaves disappeared, what am I doing wrong? thank you
my plant is dying so I'm hoping to revive it, and maybe get a few propagates in case it goes south. does anyone know tho, if I already have potting soil, would small rocks/pebbles from outside work or do I need to buy pumice specifically? I'm not sure where I'd find it or succulent potting mix around here unfortunately
but ty for the great vid! hopefully I'll return in a while with the update that toby is doing better
Hi there, any updates on the plant🌱?
that chocolate soldier can grow in the philippines
Hi succulents box! Is the stem also going to rot if the water gets too close to it? I water it from the bottom but am still worried about the water coming too close to the stem.
Put some small rocks around the top layer of soil that might help
Im late to this but I have a question. I just recieved my new plant and its larger, but has a very small amount of roots. Should I plant it in a smaller pot considering the size of the roots are smaller?
Hi, usually we'd recommend choosing the size of the pot base on the width of the plant. You might want to check our blog about this topic for more information, hope it would help 😉 succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/choosing-the-right-size-pot-for-your-succulents
I've never had problems with getting the leaves wet.
then that's great! please let us know if you need any help!
Mine is outside & getting natural rain.
My first time growing a plant 😅wat kind of soil do i purchase?
Hi there, thanks for following us, It is best to have a sandy, well-draining soil. A soil that is made up of at least 50% perlite, sand, and other minerals will aid in drainage.
How can I kill bugs on it if I cant get it wet??
Hi there, if the bugs you are referring to are mealybugs, you can dab them off plants with an alcohol-saturated cotton swab
My leaves are turning white? What do I do?
you have a Kalanchoe Tomentosa like the one in our video?
I beg to differ on spraying these plants with water. How do they survive out in the wild if they would just rot up everytime it rains?
Really deoends on yhe environment. Deserts tend to be dry and hot and moister evaporates quick. Where I live my plant is outside and get wet occasionally. I also live in a hot dry desert
