Kalanchoe pinnata - Cathedral Bells or Air Plant

What an unusual looking plant !

They are a lovely thing.

Louise1:

Yes, they are kind of unusual...if you're not familiar with the genus Kalanchoe. This plant is widely grown in California and Hawaii.

Bernieh:

Thanks!

Its very pretty.....

I've got one very similar, if not exactly the same. It was doing so beautifully and then it froze over the winter. It's making a comeback, but I've yet to see it flower. Thanks for sharing the flowers :)

Tasteyg:

There's many species of Kalanchoe...this species is extremely tender to cold...it's highly unlikely the roots would even survive freezing temps...several species will tolerate freezing temps for a short period of time though.

We got down to about 27 degrees, but not for an extended amount of time. I'm pretty sure I have a photo of mine on here somewhere, from before the frost got to it. If I find it I'll let you know. It made a bunch of babies, I think they came off the sides of the trunk. I'll have to snap a shot and post it to see if you can id it :) Thanks.

Tasteyg:

If this temps was only for a short period of time. The plant may come back from the roots.

Hello I need this plant for health purposes can you please sell me some please contact me (619)734-4214 my name is Thamar thank you so much

Thamar:

This was growing in a private garden somewhere in Banker's Hill, San Diego. I'm not sure where it's located as it's been 7 years since I took the photo.

It appears you have a San Diego area code. The only place that I know would have this plant for sure would be Andersen's Nursery in Point Loma. I hope this helps.
