| Hi everyone, and cactusmcharris thanks for these thoughts!
The plant seems to get so tall... and the leaves stay so consistently the size and shape of a spade (on a card). My cuttings *could* be deceptive because they're so short right now. Here's a pic of the [poor] mother plant, with all those tall beautiful stems that are now OBE. I will suggest my Exetension agent look into kalenchoe (he's doing the most research)! I love kalanchoes, I have a couple of the 'typical'/gift kind. Which, in my regular ol' kitchen culture never bloom again, but I don't care. hope everyone has a great day! Lisa |

| Hi Lisa, It's getting so tall, 'cause it's desperate for light; it's leggy from that which we call etiolation. I too have these, on a west window, which blinds I never drop; mine are less leggy. |

| I grow both Kalanchoe orgyalis and K bracteata. I think your plant is bracteata. K orgyalis is substantially thicker, harder, more woody AND more succulent, and I find it slower, too. |
