Kalanchoe delagoensis is a perennial succulent, reproducing asexually by means of small plantlets borne at the ends of each leaf. The stem is erect, up to 3.3 feet (1 m) tall, often with short sterile shoots at the base. The leaves are simple, usually ternate, sub-cylindrical, up to 6 inches (15 cm) long and up to 0.2 inch (0.5 cm) wide. The lower surface is sulcate, often spotted with reddish brown margins near apex and with 3 to 9 conical teeth between which spoon-shaped bulbils are produced. Umbels of trumpet-shaped up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) long, orange to scarlet flowers that dangle in clusters from the top of the plant. Due to intense vegetative reproduction, this plant rarely blooms. But well grown larger specimens can flower profusely in winter.
Have a beautiful Friday!! 💝
