Kalanchoe humilis
About Kalanchoe humilis
Plants in the Kalanchoe genus are native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. They range from rubbery green leaves, to leopard print, and some are even fuzzy! The word Kalanchoe comes from the Cantonese name for these plants, pronounced Ka-lun-koh-ee in English. Their succulent leaves help store water during droughts, so they'll be just fine if you skip a watering or two (it happens!).

How to fertilize Kalanchoe humilis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Kalanchoe humilis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Kalanchoe, yes, but what's with these flowers? Meet Hope, fresh from the seasonal-special rack at Target. (Fun fact: I have been just doing in-store pickup to avoid wandering around and rescuing all the plants; in response, Target has moved the plants next to the pickup counter. Thanks Target.) Definitely a #kalanchoe, but what's with the doubled petals? Not the usual four-petaled wonders I've had in the past; any idea what's going on here?
