Native to Madagascar, its soft, grey-green leaves are covered in fine hairs and feature grey-purple or dark brown margins and tips. Like other succulent species and varieties, it\u2019s a very hardy, low-maintenance plant\u2014ideal for sheltered spots in dry\/xerophytic gardens, protected balconies, or bright indoor spaces. Because it\u2019s a succulent with a different-than-usual look, very easy to care for, and it also belongs to the group of plants that help purify the air around them (by filtering toxins), it\u2019s an excellent gift option!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Kalanchoe tomentosa &#8216;Nigra&#8217;<\/em><br \/><strong>Common name<\/strong>: Cat Ear, Black Panda Plant<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Crassulaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Madagascar<br \/><strong>Climate<\/strong>: Tropical to Semi-arid<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Indoor or outdoor plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 20cm<br \/><strong>Pot diameter<\/strong>: 14cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Grows well in areas with plenty of bright, indirect light (direct sun only in the morning or late in the day).<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Infrequent &#8211; water only when the substrate is completely dry, as it dislikes constantly moist soil.
