  • Fast-growing succulent
  • Produces plantlets on leaf margins
  • Interesting speciman plant

Details

Kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri is a fast-growing succulent with waxy coated, maroon-spotched leaves that extend up to 20" long. Plantlets develop at tip of leaves which will either drop to the ground or weigh the main leaf down, so the plantlets will take root. 'Donkey Ears' is an interesting speciman plant for your succulent collection. Can be brought indoors to overwinter by placing in a sunny window and watered only when soil is thoroughly dry. Not to be confused with "Mother of Thousands" which has much smaller and more profuse plantlets.
