Are you looking to add some color and life to your indoor space or garden? Look no further than the Kalanchoe beharensis, a vibrant member of the genus Kalanchoe! Hailing all the way from Madagascar, it has several other common names such as elephant ear kalanchoe, velvet leaf plant, and felt bush. 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is known for its unique appearance, with large, fleshy, velvety leaves that are covered in fine hairs, giving them a fuzzy texture. The silvery-green leaves have a slightly scalloped or serrated edge, which adds to their visual appeal.  

This felt bush plant can grow up to 6 feet tall in its natural environment, but it can also be pruned to keep a more compact size if preferred. It can grow both indoors and outdoors, including its most amazing variety, the Kalanchoe beharensis fang (Felt plant). The stems of the Kalanchoe beharensis are thick and woody, providing stability and structure to this succulent plant. 

The flowers of the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant ear plant are small and inconspicuous compared to its stunning leaves. They typically appear in clusters at the top of tall succulent stems. The greenish-yellow flowers add a subtle touch to the plant's overall appearance. While the flowers may not be the main attraction, they still contribute to the beauty of this unique succulent. 

To propagate the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ears kalanchoe, you can use stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. With time and proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new plant. It's an exciting way to expand your collection of these beautiful Kalanchoe varieties! 

Watering Needs 

Native to arid regions of Madagascar, the Kalanchoe beharensis has moderate watering needs. It's important to strike a balance when watering this elephant ear plant to keep it happy and healthy. 

When it comes to watering, the Kalanchoe beharensis prefers a "soak and dry" approach. This means that you should thoroughly water your elephant ear Kalanchoe until the excess water just drains out of the bottom of the pot, allowing the soil to become moist. However, it's crucial to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, you can water it more frequently, about once every 1-2 weeks. But during the dormant period in winter, when this Kalanchoe plant is not actively growing, you should reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks.

Remember, it's always better to be underwater than overwater your Kalanchoe beharensis. So, keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. And don't forget to provide good drainage by using a well-drained potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. 

Light Requirements 

The Kalanchoe beharensis loves bright light. This elephant-ear succulent thrives in a spot that receives plenty of full sun to partial sun throughout the day. Placing it near a south or west-facing window is ideal, as it will get the right amount of indirect light without being exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. 

If you don't have a window with adequate sunlight, you can also use artificial grow lights to supplement the natural light. Just make sure to keep the Kalanchoe plants at least a foot away from the light source to prevent leaf burn. 

While the Kalanchoe beharensis can tolerate some shade, it won't thrive in low-light conditions. Lack of light can cause the elephant ear kalanchoe to become leggy and lose its vibrant color. So, be sure to give it the bright light it craves, and it will reward you with its stunning foliage! 

Remember, finding the right balance of light and water will keep your Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ear Kalanchoe happy and healthy.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Kalanchoe beharensis favors very airy soil, moist, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting soil, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your elephant ear kalanchoe plants to thrive. 

As for fertilizing, the Kalanchoe beharensis doesn't require heavy feeding. During the growing season, you can fertilize your elephant ear succulent with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the Kalanchoe plant with the necessary nutrients. However, during the dormant period in winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing the plant altogether. 

Remember to avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to fertilizer burn and damage to new growth on the succulent plants. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is generally suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It prefers warm temperatures and doesn't tolerate frost well, so it's best to keep it indoors or in a protected area if you live in a colder climate. 

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, this elephant ear plant thrives in average to warm temperatures between 65-85°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F as it can cause damage to the leaves and overall health of the plant. 

As for humidity, the Kalanchoe beharensis is adaptable and can handle a range of humidity levels. It can tolerate both dry and slightly humid conditions. However, it's important to avoid excessive humidity or stagnant air, as it can lead to fungal issues or root rot. Providing good airflow around the plant is beneficial for its overall health.

Just buy it!
Color: Grey, Size: 74"x60"
I'm always cold and wanted a blanky, a goto cuddly blanket! I bought this with the intentions of turning it into a duvet for my heating blanket. Now, I haven't bought a blanket in over 20yrs and then it was just some down comforters where I updated the duvets over the years but that's it. So I started shopping and picked my top 5 faux fur blankets based on fiber density (where available), color, and customer reviews. I was willing to pay as long as I got that goto blanky, I didnt want to be left underwhelmed, especially the more I have to spend. As a blanket newbie I got stuck and couldn't decide, so it came down to customer reviews and price point. There is $600 brand of blanket which im.sure is lovely but I will never know, just crossed them off my list, couldn't justify it, leaving this as the next most expensive on my list. So, I asked myself, do you really get what you pay for? Or all these blankets made by the same company, basically the same with different price tags? After reading EVERY SINGLE REVIEW ON ALL 5 BLANKETS and some others I had crossed out because I'm so terrified of buyers remorse, THIS BLANKET HAS THE FEWEST NEGATIVE COMMENTS OF ANY BLANKET!!! That being said theres a lot of postive comments out there but what if the other blankets positive comments are just from people who've never experienced a REALLY NICE BLANKY??? So I went with highest price point willing to spend (under $300ish) and fewest negative comments from people who sounded like they knew blankets, pics and videos people uploaded, etc. I let go and turned it over to the universe... If you're on the fence because it is pricey, JUST GET IT! It's freaking nice, like REALLY NICE! It's as if not more comfy than my 20 year old ralph Lauren duvet which I spent way more on than this. THIS BLANKET IS AMAZING and IT DOESNT SHED! 1. I'm not a trapper or a tanner but it looks real af to me. Real enough... 2. The fur is long, soft and fluffy! It's like your friends shaggy dog you want to love and squeeze but you know he hasn't been brushed and can smell him when you walked in the door. It's like that but only positive, I never want to leave it , pet it like dog, it's becoming my best friend, and I don't have to walk it! Even the inside is soft! It's like husky on th outside and rabbit on the inside!!! 3. It's warm and It's got some weight to it! Definitely not a cheap throw!!!!! Remember I was gonna use this as a duvet cover for my electric blanket??? Under this alone I sweat! Several times a night i wake up and throw it off me, my electric blanket doesn't even make me sweat and which is why I thought I could use cover for it.... WRONG! This blanket was all i needed! I've already probably said too much, but this Is the first review I've ever written. All I can say is if you're undecided; JUST GET THIS DANG BLANKET, SERIOUSLY! One more thing, to tell the world how crazy my fear of buyers remorse is a week or so ago, my number 3 blanket, leedy much cheper than this, was on ridiculously low sale so I had to buy it too see I you get what you pay for??? And YOU DO! Granted, It's a really nice blanket, and I probably would have been fine with it, HAVING NEVER SEEN THIS BLANKET.... The other blanket soft, shorter hair, looks real enough, sheds a bit so I brush it, but compared to this blanket, well you can't! It's like comparing a howrd Johnson or days inn to the ritz-carlton, or tube hamburger and a filet, one of these blankets you might consider cutting up for a kids costume and the other you definitely would not and its not just because of the price differnce, but in this instance, you do get what you pay for! The other blanket is not like us, hahaha If you made it this far I hope this helps you, good luck, and I'm telling you...

Buy this while it’s priced so low.
Color: Brown, Size: 74"x60"
I am a collector of furry blankets and this one is my new favorite. It’s heavy, and really warm. It’s also a beautiful blanket with the hair tones differently than I’ve seen before. Thank you for the high quality and a relatively lower price than other of close to the same value. It’s so soft and beautiful I had to buy another one!
