Kalanchoe humilis is a low growing, succulent shrub up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall, with an open rosette of up to 4 inches (10 cm) long, gray-green leaves that are strongly marked with maroon spots. The flowers are small, dull purple to green in color and rise up to 10 inches (25 cm) above foliage on an upwardly branched inflorescence. The flowers are not much of an attraction and can be removed.

Growing Conditions

Light: They prefer bright, sunny locations, especially in the summer growing season. During the winter, consider a south-facing window.
Water: Water moderately throughout the summer and reduce watering in the winter. Let the soil surface dry out between waterings, and in the winter, the plant can almost dry out. Watch the fleshy leaves for signs of water distress.
Temperature: They prefer warmth. Do not let fall below 55ºF (12.7ºC).
Soil: Well-drained, light soil, one suitable for succulents.
Fertilizer: Feed bi-weekly in the summer with a liquid fertilizer, or use slow-release pellets.
