Kalanchoe beharensis is a tree size succulent plant from Madagascar. It keeps up the Kalanchoe legacy that is: hardy and grow very easy from leaves or pieces of stem.
Photo above is one plant. This could have been an even bigger bush if it was not that the branches are often blown off by the wind. The stems are not strong enough for the heavy leaves full of water.
Showing size of leaf.
The bullterrier also posed for size. One leaf will easy cover her head.
The pattern where the leaves were attached on the stem is pretty. The stem has a very smooth hard feeling and the "thorns" do not cut or scratch like the aloe teeth.(thorns)
The inflorescence is very large and heavy. It is a pity that the flowers are small and pale.
