Are you lookingfor the perfect indoor succulent for any room? Then the stunning panda plant, known as Kalanchoe tomentosa, is your answer. This lovely furry succulent plant is native to Madagascar and is a member of the well-known Kalanchoe genus. It gets its name from the fuzzy, silvery leaves that resemble the fur of a panda. This Panda plant has a unique appearance with its thick, oval-shaped leaves that are covered in tiny fine hairs, giving it a soft and fuzzy texture. It's like petting a panda! 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa is sometimes referred to as the "Chocolate Soldier" due to the brownish-red markings on the edges of its leaves. It's like having a soldier made of chocolate! However, it's important to note that "Chocolate Soldier" is also the name of another cultivar of Kalanchoe tomentosa that has a more pronounced chocolatey coloration throughout its leaves. It has several other common names, such as pussy ears, cat ears, donkey ears, and plush plants. 

When fully grown, this slow-growing kalanchoe tomentosa can reach heights of up to 2 feet and has a robust, thick stem that develops branches and several grey-green leafy clusters. When properly pruned, they can produce branches that extend below the level of the pot, and so they are great for growing in a hanging basket. It grows in a compact and bushy shrub-like growth habit, making it a perfect addition to your indoor garden or as a charming decoration on your desk. 

The flowers of Kalanchoe tomentosa only bloom in their natural habitat with small yellow-green tubular-shaped flowers in spring and summer.   

Additionally, you can propagate your panda plants by leaf cuttings and stem cuttings. These summer dormant plants are mildly toxic for pets and humans if consumed, so keep these panda plants away from children. 

Overall, the Panda Plants are delightful succulents to have in your collection. Its unique appearance and easy-care requirements make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts. So, if you're looking for cute and low-maintenance house plants, these Panda Plants are definitely worth considering! Read on to discover how to grow a panda plant indoors or outdoors.  

Watering Needs 

The watering needs of the Panda Plants are similar to other succulent plants. These Kalanchoe plants have adapted to survive in arid environments, so they don't require frequent watering. To avoid root rot, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. 

When watering your indoor Panda Plant, make sure to give it a thorough soak, allowing the water to fully penetrate the soil. Then, wait until the top inch or so of the soil is completely dry before watering again. The kalanchoe tomentosa still survive even if you neglect to water them for a week or two. However, this does not imply that they can be neglected. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater your kalanchoe succulents. They are more drought tolerant than they are of excessive moisture. So, be patient and let your Panda Plant enjoy a little dry spell between drinks! 

Light Requirement 

The Kalanchoe tomentosa loves basking in bright light. It thrives in bright indirect sunlight, so placing it several feet away from a sunny south-facing window or in a well-lit area is ideal. 

However, be cautious about exposing your Panda Plant to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during the hottest parts of the day. This can cause sunburn on its furry leaves. If you notice the leaves turning brown or developing spots, it may be a sign of too much sun exposure. Providing some shade or diffusing enough light with a sheer curtain can help protect your Kalanchoe tomentosa. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key! Aim for bright, indirect light to keep your Panda Plant happy and healthy. It'll appreciate the sunshine without getting too much of a tan! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to soil and fertilizer needs for your Kalanchoe tomentosa Panda Plant, it's important to provide it with well-draining soil. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your Kalanchoe succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own succulent potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

As for fertilizer, the Panda Plant doesn't require a lot of feeding. During the growing season, which is typically spring, you can use a balanced NPK diluted fertilizer once a year. Apply it once a month or as directed on the fertilizer packaging.  

Remember, less is more when it comes to fertilizer for your Panda Plant. It's better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize, as excessive nutrients can cause damage. With the right soil succulent mix and a light touch of fertilizer, your Kalanchoe tomentosa will thrive and show off its adorable leaves! 

Hardiness Zone & More 

Native to Madagascar, the Kalanchoe tomentosa is typically grown as a houseplant in many regions. In terms of hardiness zones, it is generally recommended to grow Panda plants indoors in USDA zones 10-11, which have mild to warm temperatures year-round. 

When it comes to temperature, the Panda Plant prefers a range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures, but be cautious of extreme heat, as it can cause stress to the plant. As for humidity, the Panda Plant is adaptable and can handle average indoor humidity levels. It doesn't require any specific humidity requirements. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the temperature and humidity levels in your specific location and adjust accordingly to provide the best growing conditions for your Panda Plant. With the right climate, you can grow Panda Plants indoors for healthy growth.

Works. . .
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
Left 10% ethanol gas in my 3500 watt inverter and forgot about it. After I got it started, it was suging and alsmost unusable even with fresh gas. Drained all the gas and used a measuring cup to get the fuel/additive ratio right and let the generator run wiuth a 1000 watt work light. AFter about 15 minutes, the surging stopped and engine smoothed out. Happened faster than I expected. Taught me a lesson about gas decomposition. Promised the genny I learned a lesson to use stabilizer. Easier than doing a carb rebuild.

Tried as a last resort... It worked!
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
My 3.0 MerCruiser stern drive was hard starting and would not hold at idle and ran really rough under load. I put 2 cans of S*Foam Marine through the tank and replaced the fuel filter and the spark plugs. With only a slight improvement I decided to bring it to my dealer. They replaced the distributer cap, rotor and plug wires and sent me on my way. The idle was good, but under load (headway speed) it ran really rough. Brought it back and they swapped out the carburetor and lake tested it. Back at home it ran great for a one-hour ride. A week later I tried to start it and the idle was bad again (engine shaking, erratic RPM). Almost dragged it back to the dealer but thought I would try this first. Per instructions I added this to about 15 gallons already in the boat and then topped it off with 5 gallons of fresh gas. Let it idle at about 1500 RPMs for 15 minutes and WOW, it's purring like a kitten. Next time, this will be my first resort!

It works!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Individual
A short story long---LOL---My zero turn started acting quirky-it would not run at full power and would begin to stall when put under a full load - like trying to mow some taller or thicker grass- never did stall since I would immediately kill the mower but obviously it was not right. I checked and changed the fuel filters-this one has 2 . One in the pick up line in the tank and one is inline just before the fuel pump unit. No help! So, before I dropped the big bucks to have the local farm dealer come and pick it up (at $75 per pickup and return) plus h=whatever shop charges that would result I thought "What the heck, lets give this stuff a try" I gambled $6 . I put in 5 ounces for the 5 gallons tank, and filled it with the gas I had on hand- should have been relatively fresh gas -no more than 2 weeks since pumped . Well, whatever the cause of the issue within about 15 to 30 minutes of low speed running- mostly at idle - the engine seemed to be idling smoothly as opposed to before where it surged but never died, I gave it a try at mowing. YEA!!!! full power and no bogging down - I finished mowing the yard and a part of the pasture (not yet grown up much so it is not requiring the rotary cutter YET) My only guess is perhaps a batch of either old gas or some water in the gas can or mower tank but whatever the cause it fixed it --and all for $6.
