Are you looking to add some color and life to your indoor space or garden? Look no further than the Kalanchoe beharensis, a vibrant member of the genus Kalanchoe! Hailing all the way from Madagascar, it has several other common names such as elephant ear kalanchoe, velvet leaf plant, and felt bush. 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is known for its unique appearance, with large, fleshy, velvety leaves that are covered in fine hairs, giving them a fuzzy texture. The silvery-green leaves have a slightly scalloped or serrated edge, which adds to their visual appeal.  

This felt bush plant can grow up to 6 feet tall in its natural environment, but it can also be pruned to keep a more compact size if preferred. It can grow both indoors and outdoors, including its most amazing variety, the Kalanchoe beharensis fang (Felt plant). The stems of the Kalanchoe beharensis are thick and woody, providing stability and structure to this succulent plant. 

The flowers of the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant ear plant are small and inconspicuous compared to its stunning leaves. They typically appear in clusters at the top of tall succulent stems. The greenish-yellow flowers add a subtle touch to the plant's overall appearance. While the flowers may not be the main attraction, they still contribute to the beauty of this unique succulent. 

To propagate the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ears kalanchoe, you can use stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. With time and proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new plant. It's an exciting way to expand your collection of these beautiful Kalanchoe varieties! 

Watering Needs 

Native to arid regions of Madagascar, the Kalanchoe beharensis has moderate watering needs. It's important to strike a balance when watering this elephant ear plant to keep it happy and healthy. 

When it comes to watering, the Kalanchoe beharensis prefers a "soak and dry" approach. This means that you should thoroughly water your elephant ear Kalanchoe until the excess water just drains out of the bottom of the pot, allowing the soil to become moist. However, it's crucial to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, you can water it more frequently, about once every 1-2 weeks. But during the dormant period in winter, when this Kalanchoe plant is not actively growing, you should reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks.

Remember, it's always better to be underwater than overwater your Kalanchoe beharensis. So, keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. And don't forget to provide good drainage by using a well-drained potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. 

Light Requirements 

The Kalanchoe beharensis loves bright light. This elephant-ear succulent thrives in a spot that receives plenty of full sun to partial sun throughout the day. Placing it near a south or west-facing window is ideal, as it will get the right amount of indirect light without being exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. 

If you don't have a window with adequate sunlight, you can also use artificial grow lights to supplement the natural light. Just make sure to keep the Kalanchoe plants at least a foot away from the light source to prevent leaf burn. 

While the Kalanchoe beharensis can tolerate some shade, it won't thrive in low-light conditions. Lack of light can cause the elephant ear kalanchoe to become leggy and lose its vibrant color. So, be sure to give it the bright light it craves, and it will reward you with its stunning foliage! 

Remember, finding the right balance of light and water will keep your Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ear Kalanchoe happy and healthy.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Kalanchoe beharensis favors very airy soil, moist, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting soil, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your elephant ear kalanchoe plants to thrive. 

As for fertilizing, the Kalanchoe beharensis doesn't require heavy feeding. During the growing season, you can fertilize your elephant ear succulent with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the Kalanchoe plant with the necessary nutrients. However, during the dormant period in winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing the plant altogether. 

Remember to avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to fertilizer burn and damage to new growth on the succulent plants. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is generally suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It prefers warm temperatures and doesn't tolerate frost well, so it's best to keep it indoors or in a protected area if you live in a colder climate. 

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, this elephant ear plant thrives in average to warm temperatures between 65-85°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F as it can cause damage to the leaves and overall health of the plant. 

As for humidity, the Kalanchoe beharensis is adaptable and can handle a range of humidity levels. It can tolerate both dry and slightly humid conditions. However, it's important to avoid excessive humidity or stagnant air, as it can lead to fungal issues or root rot. Providing good airflow around the plant is beneficial for its overall health.

Love it get it girl!
love this collagen balm stick—it really feels like a little “magic wand” for my skin! It’s so easy to apply and super convenient to use on the go for the eyes, neck, and face. The texture glides on smoothly without feeling greasy, and it gives an instant boost of hydration and a nice glow. I like that it helps my skin feel more plump and refreshed, especially on dry or tired areas. It’s become a quick step in my routine when I need a fast touch-up or extra moisture. Overall, very impressed with how effective and easy it is to use! ✨

Surprised!
I was really hesitant to get this product because of the very mixed reviews but I decided to give it a try. I was so completely surprised by this and its effectiveness and appearance. While I haven’t used it long enough to know if it has any effect on fine lines, the under eye effect is truly magical. I’ve yet to find any product that makes my bags go away, but I just put a light layer of this on and my bags go away in 10 minutes and I look like I slept twelve hours and aged in reverse. It is definitely a greasy product so if you are prone to oily skin, I’d say this may not be the product for you. For me, I put a light layer on under my eyes, my smile lines, and forehead. For me, it absorbs quite well and leaves my skin looking very shiny and glowy which I love. I have not had any issues with the texture of it, or had it leave any residue but I’m using quite a thin layer, which I think is what is intended. 10/10 would but again.

AMAZING!!
This stuff actually WORKS, Y'ALL! I was hopeful when I ordered but didn't totally know what to expect. But after using the entire tube I CAN SAY IT WORKS! I'll be 40 in a couple of weeks. A smoker for almost 25yrs and big time tanaholic and it shows on my face 😟, so I need help. The most noticeable difference is what it did to my crows feet. They're still there BUT NOT when I have just resting face. They show up when I laugh or smile, but if I just have a straight face I have ZERO crows feet now. I used it every night, a few times during the day (maybe like 5× max), but I kept it next to my bed and put it allover my face, with more attention to my eye area. I got it on 11-23 and started using that day. On 12-16 I thought I'd used it all up, so got mad and ordered a different product (same concept, just different brand). But realized I just needed to twist more and I had way more product left 😬. So like I said, I used this from 11-23 every night religiously until I ACTUALLY used it ALL on 1-4. I DO have a noticeable difference in skin texture, smoothness and definite hydration. The scent is barely there and the longevity is good, too. I mean I used this religiously and it lasted almost 6 weeks. The value for the money was great when I ordered it, it costs more now though. It IS a lil greasy, but I was using it at night so I didn't care and it didn't cause any breakouts 🙌🏼 I'm gonna try this new stuff I got since I already ordered it and see how I like it. If not then I'm buying this again for sure! I literally used every last drop 😂 **EDIT TO ADD** I completely forgot to tell y'all what this did to my 11's!!! Idk the proper term, but the deep lines you get on the inside of your brows, especially noticeable when you frown or focus: VERY BIG CHANGE! I'm NOT claiming this will work on everyone but it's done wonders for me! My 11's are still here but they're nowhere as close to what they were! Not as deep or noticeable, soooo much smoother! I ordered a similar product, (different brand) and started using it on 1-5. Today is 1-30 and I'm already out of it so I came back to order THIS again, the Dr. Melaxin Balm stick. It lasts longer and works better than the high-end product that only lasted 25 days. THIS BALM STICK IS WHERE IT'S AT, Y'ALL!!
