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.

Durable
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
My hound dog seems to like hers. She greets me at the door every day with it in her mouth and she hasn’t been able to tear it up or get any little pieces in her mouth when she nib nibs on the edges. It doesn’t have a smell. It is hard. It seems safe I guess since they can’t pick it up with their paws and pop each other over the head with it but if you have an intruder it would be great to have in hand.

Surprisingly Tough Without Being Too Hard
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
The hardness on this bone is right in the sweet spot for aggressive chewers. It’s firm and durable enough that my dog hasn’t been able to tear chunks off or destroy it quickly, but it’s not rock-hard to the point where I’d worry about teeth damage. My dog usually goes through most toys pretty fast, and this one has held up really well. After extended chewing sessions, it only shows minor wear instead of deep cracks or breakage. It keeps his attention without splintering or becoming unsafe. If you’re looking for a bone that can handle strong jaws while still being safe for aggressive chewers, this one strikes a good balance and has been a solid option so far.

Not completly indestructible but good buy
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Dogs loved this. I have 5 pot mixed and they all have enjoyed this. I ordered two more after they enjoyed the first one so much. So far my dogs have not been as destructive as they have been in the past (especially on my couches). I have been home more recently so it could be a combination, but I think the bones have been helpful. Sturdier than the red Kong toys, but not as indestructible as the black kongs. As durable or more than the ruff dawg balls, and much more affordable than all of those. Also, some of my dogs are more selective on toys, but this one was an immediate hit, even with my dog that has shown now interest in ANY chew toy. We even walked through pet smart one day, and i tried to get him to play with every toy on the shelf- and he was not impressed. I even showed him the scented toys that cost $40-50 each. Happy that he took to this immediately. Keep an eye out. I heard one of my dogs hacking and coughing from the other room, but by the time I heard it and got to the room, it wasn’t clear what he was choking on. I had three of these bones in the room at the time, but there was also food and such around so hard to tell. Recommend supervising your dog with the toy in the beginning at least.

Lasts with a pitbull
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Good for very aggressive chewers. Even large, strong jawed dogs. My 70lb pitbull loves them and they usually last 6 months before we have to replace (because she's chewed slowly down the ends) Would recomment!
