Are you looking for the perfect indoor succulent for any room? Then the stunning panda plant, known as Kalanchoe tomentosa, is your answer.  This lovely furry succulent plant is native to Madagascar and is a member of the well-known Kalanchoe genus. It gets its name from the fuzzy, silvery leaves that resemble the fur of a panda. This Panda plant has a unique appearance with its thick, oval-shaped leaves that are covered in tiny fine hairs, giving it a soft and fuzzy texture. It's like petting a panda! 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa is sometimes referred to as the "Chocolate Soldier" due to the brownish-red markings on the edges of its leaves. It's like having a soldier made of chocolate! However, it's important to note that "Chocolate Soldier" is also the name of another cultivar of Kalanchoe tomentosa that has a more pronounced chocolatey coloration throughout its leaves. It has several other common names, such as pussy ears, cat ears, donkey ears, and plush plants. 

When fully grown, this slow-growing kalanchoe tomentosa can reach heights of up to 2 feet and has a robust, thick stem that develops branches and several grey-green leafy clusters. When properly pruned, they can produce branches that extend below the level of the pot, and so they are great for growing in a hanging basket. It grows in a compact and bushy shrub-like growth habit, making it a perfect addition to your indoor garden or as a charming decoration on your desk. 

The flowers of Kalanchoe tomentosa only bloom in their natural habitat with small yellow-green tubular-shaped flowers in spring and summer.   

Additionally, you can propagate your panda plants by leaf cuttings and stem cuttings. These summer dormant plants are mildly toxic for pets and humans if consumed, so keep these panda plants away from children. 

Overall, the Panda Plants are delightful succulents to have in your collection. Its unique appearance and easy-care requirements make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts. So, if you're looking for cute and low-maintenance house plants, these Panda Plants are definitely worth considering! Read on to discover how to grow a panda plant indoors or outdoors.   

Watering Needs 

The watering needs of the Panda Plants are similar to other succulent plants. These Kalanchoe plants have adapted to survive in arid environments, so they don't require frequent watering. To avoid root rot, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. 

When watering your indoor Panda Plant, make sure to give it a thorough soak, allowing the water to fully penetrate the soil. Then, wait until the top inch or so of the soil is completely dry before watering again. The kalanchoe tomentosa still survive even if you neglect to water them for a week or two. However, this does not imply that they can be neglected. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater your kalanchoe succulents.  They are more drought tolerant than they are of excessive moisture. So, be patient and let your Panda Plant enjoy a little dry spell between drinks! 

Light Requirement 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa loves basking in bright light. It thrives in bright indirect sunlight, so placing it several feet away from a sunny south-facing window or in a well-lit area is ideal. 

However, be cautious about exposing your Panda Plant to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during the hottest parts of the day. This can cause sunburn on its furry leaves. If you notice the leaves turning brown or developing spots, it may be a sign of too much sun exposure. Providing some shade or diffusing enough light with a sheer curtain can help protect your Kalanchoe tomentosa. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key! Aim for bright, indirect light to keep your Panda Plant happy and healthy. It'll appreciate the sunshine without getting too much of a tan! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to soil and fertilizer needs for your Kalanchoe tomentosa Panda Plant, it's important to provide it with well-draining soil. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your Kalanchoe succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own succulent potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

As for fertilizer, the Panda Plant doesn't require a lot of feeding. During the growing season, which is typically spring, you can use a balanced NPK diluted fertilizer once a year. Apply it once a month or as directed on the fertilizer packaging.  

Remember, less is more when it comes to fertilizer for your Panda Plant. It's better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize, as excessive nutrients can cause damage. With the right soil succulent mix and a light touch of fertilizer, your Kalanchoe tomentosa will thrive and show off its adorable leaves! 

Hardiness Zone & More 

Native to Madagascar, the Kalanchoe tomentosa is typically grown as a houseplant in many regions. In terms of hardiness zones, it is generally recommended to grow Panda plants indoors in USDA zones 10-11, which have mild to warm temperatures year-round. 

When it comes to temperature, the Panda Plant prefers a range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures, but be cautious of extreme heat, as it can cause stress to the plant. As for humidity, the Panda Plant is adaptable and can handle average indoor humidity levels. It doesn't require any specific humidity requirements. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the temperature and humidity levels in your specific location and adjust accordingly to provide the best growing conditions for your Panda Plant. With the right climate, you can grow Panda Plants indoors for healthy growth.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.

Great Room divider
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Works well in separating my kids play area from my computer/office room. Easy to put together, height is perfect somewhat sturdy, looks great, light weight, not good if you are using it as a door, but if it is to stay in place than it is stable enough.

Exactly what I needed
Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
It was easy to put together even without a power drill. Completely opaque. Only a very small slit between poles. I plan to add black electrical tape, but that's because I don't want nosies peeking through to see my screen. The height is beautiful. I was afraid it wouldn't be as tall as I needed. But it is perfect. I share a small office with a good buddy of mine. People passing by our door is distracting and invites them to speak to me. I needed something that would stop the former and prevent the latter, especially when I'm deep in concentration mode. The two panels are enough to block outsiders and the third panel I will employ when I can't even be disturbed by my officemate. It's the fastest and easiest signal not to disrupt me at all. 10/10

Packaging contents
Color: Grey, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Item is as described however this one appeared to be open and some parts possibly used. Example pole packaging mislabeled one had the letter K as a part there is no letter K item in the instructions. Another pole part had a taped on letter A which is completely different from the others thus indicating that it was opened or substituted. Finally after the partition was completely put together one of the bottom screw connection anchors came out making the partition unable to stand. I'm going to have to rig something up in order to get the anchor connected to the bottom panel. In closure the partion could be very acceptable and do the job if it was new and parts labeled correctly. I have pictures of all parts and packaging errors. Would buy again if new. I'm going to pursue some kind of compensation.
