The leaves of this Kalanchoe are long and slim, reaching for the sun in every direction. Each leaf is bordered by darker colouring - so dark it has given this cultivar the name 'Nigra', meaning 'black'! The rest of the leaves are a pale green turned silver by the hair which spreads over each leaf, adding texture and turning these Kalanchoes fluffy! This hair helps it hold onto moisture in its native Madagascar, and adds texture and interest in your home. While they can grow up to 3ft (90cm) tall in the wild, it will take a lot of patience to get the plant there indoors! In the meantime, give it plenty of light and time to dry between waters, and you'll be able to sit back and enjoy! **Scientific Name** Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Nigra' **Common Name** Nigra Panda Plant, Pussy Ears, Cat Ears, Donkey Ears **Origin** This species of Kalanchoe is native to the island of Madagascar **Light** Your Kalanchoe will love a splash of morning or evening sun, so look for an east or west-facing window.
