Kalanchoe orygalis (specimen)

The huge diversity within the Kalanchoe genus makes it easily one of our favourites. Kalanchoe orygalis is more commonly known as Copper Spoons after its cinnamon coloured oval leaves that fold slightly upwards. Over time, the powdery copper fades to silver, creating an interesting contrast between the upper and lower sections of the plant. Like many of its kin, this plant is slow growing but forms a unique shape as it ages.
