The maximum height it can reach is 45cm.
Caring for Kalanchoe tomentosa is relatively simple. A mixture of cactus and succulent soil is suitable as a substrate. Kalanchoe tomentosa does not tolerate waterlogging, so you should ensure good drainage and allow the substrate to dry out before watering again. Generally, this succulent tolerates too little water rather than too much. Fertilizing is possible once a month, i.e., every four weeks.
This succulent needs a sunny to bright location to meet its light requirements. The optimal temperature is between 20C and 30C. Kalanchoe tomentosa can spend the summer outdoors after being gradually acclimated to direct sunlight. In winter, the temperature should be around 15C. Furthermore, fertilizing is stopped and watering is reduced. However, this succulent is not suitable for the garden.
This succulent can be propagated by leaf and stem cuttings. Kalanchoe tomentosa is poisonous.
