Familia Crassulaceae

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana are frunze carnoase de uloare verde inchis, cu un luciu metalic. Faptul ca ele sunt atat de iubite, se datoreste florilor lor de un rosu aprins, grupate in influorescente asezate pe tije subtiri si elegante.

Prin selectie s-au obtinut si forme cu crestere mai compacta, iar prin incrucisare cu Kalanchoe schuhmacherii, forme mai inalte.

Se folosesc ca plante decorative in timpul iernii si primaverii, cand sunt inflorite, iar dupa aceea se indeparteaza,

Aceasta specie s-a adus in 1932 din Madagascar. Genul respectiv mai cuprinde circa 100 specii.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana se pastreaza intr-un loc luminos, inflorit si aerisit.
Temperatura optima este de 12-15 grade Celsius. La temperaturi mai ridicate florile devin palide, pierzandu-si valoarea decorativa. La temperaturi prea joase, planta pierde frunzele, iar tijele florale putrezesc.

Udatul se face cu cea mai mare ingrijire, pentru ca nu suporta nici lipsa de apa, nici excesul.
