Description: 4" Potted Desert Surprise Kalanchoe DESCRIPTION: In a word, wow Kalanchoe humilis Desert Surprise features oval leaves with a seafoam green base coloration, offset by zebra-like stripes of rich maroon. The margins of each leaf are irregularly rounded, which only adds to the effect of the striping not to mention the unique growth pattern in which pairs of leaves emerge together, sometimes in duos or trios, from the center of the plant. While its exotic appearance may suggest otherwise, Desert Surprise is actually quite easy to care. Bright light is a must, though take care to protect the plant from the most intense afternoon sun especially during the summer months to avoid sunburn on the leaves. With typical water needs for a succulent, Desert Surprise prefers to dry out completely between thorough waterings, while a porous soil mixture within a well-draining pot will ensure that no excess moisture begins to accumulate. During the summer months, expect small purple or green flowers to appear on foot-long blooms stalks, adding yet another layer to Desert Surprises intriguing aesthetic. During the winter, however, be even more cautious about overwatering, and shield the fleshy leaves of this variety from freezing temperatures. Foliage can grow up to 8 inches and plant reaches 48 inches at adulthood. Their large size makes their foliage look like pancakes when they are full grown. These are well on their way potted in 4 inch nursery pots (nursery pots may vary in color) and already ranging from 7 to 14 inches tall with foliage of 4 to 6 inches long!
