Succulent Kalanchoe Tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier'

Botanical Name: Kalanchoe Tomentosa

Common Names: Chocolate soldier

Description: If you've ever browsed for succulents, chances are you've spotted
the Chocolate Soldier (Kalanchoe tomentosa). Also known as the Panda Plant, this fuzzy little favorite is easy to care for and undeniably adorable. You’ll find it in just about any plant shop, nursery, or garden center.

Spotting one is easy—just look for a succulent with soft, pale-green leaves covered in velvety fuzz and edged with rich chocolate-brown spots. They come in all sizes, from tiny starters to nearly two feet tall!

The best part? These slow-growing succulents are tough and rarely have pest problems, aside from the occasional mealybug or spider mite. They thrive year-round indoors, making them perfect houseplants.

Just a heads-up—like all kalanchoes, Chocolate Soldier is toxic to pets and mildly toxic to humans if eaten. So, admire the fuzz, but don’t take a bite!
