About Marnier's Kalanchoe
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!).

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 Marnier's Kalanchoe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help Can anyone identify this plant?! It started as one little sprig.. grew super tall so I chopped and just layed cuttings in soil. They have all rooted, and this thing puts out aerial roots like no other. I just can’t figure it out

This guy just keeps growing up and up and up and finally is touching the grow light... he's grown since I took these pics too. What do I do? Cut and propagate? Remove the supports and try to have him grow "down" in a hanging basket? #Kalanchoe

i’m saying goodbye to a plantie today :( i got it in a subscription box & it was TEENSY & shriveled pretty quickly .. but i kept caring for it for about a year just in case. i have given up on it because i checked its roots - it is dead dead. i would love some words of encouragement! i always get so sad when i let one go :( (also.. is there a way to turn off water notifications for it but still keep it in my oasis, or do i just remove the plant?) #DeadPlant #goodbye #NewPlantMom #PlantGraveyard #sadbeforeandafter

Leggy kalanchoe trimming suggestions? I’ve wanted to trim this plant for a while but I’m struggling to decide where I want to cut it. Looking for suggestions and wondering what you guys would do in this situation? The longer I wait the taller it grows and it’s almost out of space😅 #Kalanchoe #SucculentSquad #Succulents
