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.

It was by far the best of the 3 I ordered
Color: White, Size: Medium, Color: White, Size: Medium
Good shredded memory foam pillow. Great for traveling. Great for side sleeper. I have had neck and shoulder problems and went through a ton of pillows before settling on Luxome Layr adjustable pillow. But way too hefty to travel with. I bought three travel pillows for a trip I am currently on - this one, a sleep number one and Alkamto travel and camp Pillow. The Alkamto was a no-go right away. Too squishy. Little support. Loved the Nappler. My husband liked it too so ordered him one. I will say his came in and was not as full as mine. I had some leftover fill from my Layr pillow so filled it out a bit for him. He doesn’t need one as supportive as mine so it wouldve be fine. It is nice because if it’s too firm you can pull some filler out. Had I gotten the second first it still would’ve been the best but I’m glad mine was fuller. The sleep number came in the next day and way good but not as good. Gave that to my adult daughter. Returned the Alkamto one as useless. The Nappler rolls up pretty easy and compacts down well in its bag so I could fit in my carry on. Was good for the flight - a long flight with lay down seats but crappy pillows. I’ve used it instead of the hotel pillows and also now the cruise ship pillows. 5 days into travel and I’ve very pleased.

Very comfortable/ Good support
Color: White, Size: Medium
I travel often and I’m always frustrated that I have to leave my good pillow at home. I bought this one very quickly and on a whim and boy was I surprised! I slept very well the first night with it! I didn’t have to make any adjustments to it at all! I like that it’s white and can go inside of any pillowcase. When you take it out of the dryer to initially fluff it, it looks very big, but is extremely comfortable and does not strain my neck at all! It provides excellent support.

Great for Travel - Perfect Size and Comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Medium
After trying to find a neck pillow for travel and many returns, I purchased this pillow. I love it! I have a long and thin neck and all the neck pillows did not provide enough support and constantly rotating the neck pillow does not work for me. Switching to this pillow was my answer. It came compressed and I followed the instructions (15 min in the dryer on low with a couple of dryer sheets). The pillow fluffed right up and is super comfortable and supportive. There is no smell. The cover is very soft (a must!). It easily compresses into the provided bag so easy to travel with. It's also the perfect size, small enough to easily travel with, and large enough to provide support. I recommend it.

Soft, Comfortable, and Great for Camping
Color: Grey, Size: L-23 X 16 Inch
I bought this travel pillow for my son’s first camping trip, and I was really impressed. It’s incredibly soft, nice and fluffy, and made a big difference in keeping him comfortable overnight. It was such a hit that I think his dad was a little jealous I didn’t get him one too! It also packed up easily and fit back into its bag without a struggle, which is a huge plus when you’re camping. It held up well during the trip and did exactly what we needed it to do. My only criticism is that it’s a little pricey for what it is. That said, once you feel the quality and comfort, you can understand why. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
