Kalanchoe Orgyalis, also known as Copper Spoons, Cinnamon Bear, and Leather Plant, is a perennial succulent native to southern Madagascar. Ovate leaves are cinnamon brown on top and grey-silver underneath, turning completely silver as they mature. This plant has a slow-growing shrubby habit of up to 6' in its native environment, though it more commonly reaches 12-48" in containers or outdoors in zone 10-11. Copper Spoons is a unique addition to rock gardens and houseplant collections, offering attractive foliage and yellow flowers in late winter and early spring. In cold climates, bring containers indoors over the winter. Kalanchoe Orgyalis needs little maintenance or water to flourish in partial sun or bright indirect light. Plant alongside Silver Teaspoons for appealing color contrast.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Kalanchoe Orgyalis, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container, three plugs per 1-gallon container, or 4-5 plugs per 10-inch container. Use a well-drained mix of peat, sand, and perlite with a pH of 5.6-6.2, EC (2:1) of .50-.75, low feed (100-150 ppm N), daytime temperatures of 68-85, and nighttime temperatures of 58-75. Pinching may promote branching but will delay finishing time. Supply 5,000-7,500 foot candles of light. Water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With no overwatering, any disease is rare among this plant. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
