A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? I need Help Identifing my plant!!

I bought this plant and the lady didn't know what type plant it was... I tried looking up rubber plant, but I couldn't find one that looks like mine.. The leaves are thick and waxy feeling and the stem is green like the leaves.. So if anyone could help me figure it out, I would appreciate it.. I would like to make sure I am giving it the proper care..Thank you...






The dead part in this picture is where pinkish red tiny flowers bloom...

try googling 'kalanchoe'

Welcome, Rhana. Those are great pictures you gave us to go by.
I agree with a probable kalanchoe. But when you google and check out the pictures, don't give up too soon. There are a lot of different kinds within that family and not all are the waxy leafed variety. Some are fuzzy and huge and some are quite small.

Hi Rhana Welcome to the Gardenhelper
I agree it is a Kolanchoe. I have a couple of them

Keep in mind that these plants are succulent, meaning their fleshy leaves store water, they don’t like to be over-watered.
They need a soil that drains well/The pot, of course, needs to have a hole in the bottom for drainage.

While it's blooming, watering once a week should be sufficient. Make sure containers drain thoroughly. Left in wet soil, the roots can be prone to rot, so be sure the soil dries out between waterings. An ordinary plant fertilizer can also be applied about once every two weeks.

Other than avoiding direct sun in the hotter months, kalanchoes can tolerate a wide variety of lighting conditions, though best in bright indirect light. (You’ll recognize too much sun exposure when the leaves begin to look “sunburned.”)

I hope this has Helped you :wink:

Yes - definitely - I have a couple of that species of kal . . . there's a lot of them.
