Kalanchoe Silver Spoon is a hardy succulent with silver/grey, curved leaves that resemble small spoons. In spring, flower spikes appear with red and orange blooms. Perfect low-maintenance option for adding a subtle touch of colour to any space.

 

CARE AND GROWTH:

Kalanchoe Silver Spoon will thrive in a full or partial sun position. To keep its vibrant colour and growth rate, ensure it receives plenty of sun. Plant in a well-draining soil and allow it to dry out completely in between waterings. A cactus or succulent mix would be ideal, but you can also add some perlite to help improve drainage.  Overwatering can lead to root rot so water around once or twice a week in the warmer months and reduce this to once or twice a month during winter.

Prune occasionally to maintain a full, compact shape and fertilise in Spring with a slow-release fertiliser. Kalanchoe Silver Spoon can reach a height of approximately 1 metre, but you can trim it to keep it at any desired height.

 

PLANTING IDEAS:

Feature/Accent planting: Larger growing succulents like the Kalanchoe Silver Spoon look great when mass planted or a standalone feature plant. The eye-catching foliage is a great focal point in any space.

Succulent Garden: A couple of reasons why succulents are so popular is because they are very low maintenance and come in a huge range of vibrant shapes and colours. Kalanchoe Silver Spoon work great in a succulent garden and mixes well with many varieties.

Sedum, or stonecrop, succulents work great with Kalanchoe. Their colourful foliage and flower clusters really enhance the space. Echeverias and Sempervivum have wonderful shapes and colours and Agaves are an architectural delight! Or course, you can’t go past adding other Kalanchoe as well! Have a look at Kalanchoe Copper Spoon, Kalanchoe pumila Quicksilver and Kalanchoe Tomentosa.

Pots/Container: Pair Kalanchoe Silver Spoon with a decorative pot or planter. Great for smaller spaces!

Indoor décor: If you have an indoor space that receives an adequate amount of light, Kalanchoe Silver Spoon will complement various indoor design styles.

 

SPACING:

For accent planting, every 2m is ideal but plant closer if you’re after a fuller look.
