Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', a captivating cultivar of the Panda Plant family, is a perennial succulent that boasts a unique aesthetic appeal with its velvety, chocolate-edged leaves. Originating from the nursery rather than the wild, this plant brings the exotic allure of Madagascar's arid regions to your home or garden. It typically grows into an upright small shrub, reaching heights of 35-45 cm, and occasionally even up to 1 m under optimal conditions, making it a splendid choice for both indoor and outdoor succulent collections in Australia.

The 'Chocolate Soldier' is distinguished by its dense, white, felt-like hairs that envelop the entire leaf, creating a soft, plush texture. The edges of the leaves are adorned with rich, chocolate-coloured hairs, adding to its decorative charm. This plant is not just admired for its foliage; it also produces small, bell-shaped flowers that are both furry and vibrantly golden ginger in colour, adding a subtle yet striking contrast to its foliage during the blooming season.

Adaptability is a key trait of the Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', thriving in well-draining soil and requiring minimal water. This drought-tolerant succulent prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade, making it suitable for various gardening spaces. With a preference for temperatures between 18-24°C, it aligns well with most Australian climates, particularly in regions that mimic its native habitat's arid conditions.

For gardeners and succulent enthusiasts looking to diversify their collection, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' presents an excellent option. Its ease of care, combined with its distinctive appearance, makes it a delightful addition to any plant collection. Beyond its visual appeal, the 'Chocolate Soldier' cultivar shares the resilience and low-maintenance qualities of the broader Kalanchoe genus, making it a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Expanding on the diverse range of Kalanchoe tomentosa cultivars, each variant brings its own unique flair to the succulent world, making them all worthy additions to any garden or indoor collection. Starting with the original Kalanchoe tomentosa, commonly known as the Panda Plant, this species is celebrated for its soft, velvety leaves that boast a plush, greyish-green hue with chocolate-brown edges. It's the foundation upon which the other cultivars have been developed, offering a mix of resilience and aesthetic appeal that has made it a favorite among gardeners and succulent enthusiasts.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' stands out with its more pronounced chocolate-colored edging and a denser, fur-like texture that covers its leaves, evoking the image of a cuddly teddy bear. This cultivar tends to grow a bit faster and with a more clumping habit than its original counterpart, making it a striking feature in any collection.

For those who prefer a lighter touch, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Golden Girl' introduces a variation with lighter, almost golden-green foliage that shines under the sunlight. This cultivar adds a bright, cheerful element to the succulent garden, contrasting nicely against the darker hues of its siblings.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Dorothy Brown' is another noteworthy variant, admired for its rich brown and sometimes reddish coloring. The leaves of 'Dorothy Brown' have a distinctive appeal, with their color intensity adding a warm, earthy tone to the succulent display.

Last but certainly not least, the 'Teddy Bear' cultivar shares similar coloration to the original Panda Plant but boasts a more compact growth habit, making it ideal for smaller spaces or as part of a succulent arrangement where every inch counts.

Together, these hybrids and cultivars of Kalanchoe tomentosa create a captivating palette of colors and textures. From the soft, greyish-green of the original Panda Plant to the deep, rich tones of 'Dorothy Brown', there's a variant to suit every taste and garden theme. Incorporating any of these succulents into your collection not only enhances its visual diversity but also brings a piece of Madagascar's unique landscape into your home.

Works well at removing grime
My mother-in-law convinced me to start using the Dawn version of this, which has been a game-changer with the dishes. When I saw this product for less money, I decided to try it and it works just as well. Smells nice, cute on the counter, and cuts through the toughest of grease and grime.

Smells Delicious
Love this stuff. It works great and smells delicious. I love the dual mode sprayer. It's a little pricey initially, but the bottles can be refilled which lessens the cost in the long run.

Best foam soap refill if you use the right soap dispenser
Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack), Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack)
Nice and foamy (pic shows foam dispensed at level 1 bc my kids wash their hands a lot..level 4 looks like whipped cream!) Lovely rose scent. Hands actually feel soft afterwards. Works better than I expected. This *foaming* soap specifically needs a *foaming soap dispenser*. It specifically says that on the back of the package. So for those complaining it’s a liquid and stays liquid, perhaps you’re using just a regular pump container. This soap will be my go-to to refill my automatic foaming soap dispenser. Highly recommend.

most convenient refill system
Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack), Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack)
I have been a fan of J.R. Watkins for a while, but these foaming hand soap refills have really sold me on the brand. I get compliments from guests almost every time they use the guest bathroom. The refill process is incredibly easy and mess-free. The spout is designed perfectly so you don't end up with wasted soap running down the side of the bottle, which has been a frustration of mine with other brands. The foam itself is rich and it doesn't just turn into water the second you rub your hands together. I love that I can reuse my dispensers while saving money and reducing plastic waste by buying the larger refill pouches. If you enjoy a high-quality foaming lather and an upscale scent, this is a perfect 5-star household staple.
