Catwalker said:Well, the nursery just called mine "flapjack plant". Researching it, I found Kalanchoe thyrsiflora. Whatever its real name, I love it. Biggest problem now is: it's about 2 feet tall with numerous side plants, and I'm not sure how to go about transplanting! Vero Beach FL, zone 10a (I think).


Is it in the process of growing a bloom stalk? Mine topped out at around 8'. At the time it didn't have any offsets and since it's a monocarpic plant, I was afraid I was seeing the end of it. It did ultimately put on offsets and, more interesting to me, the bloom stalk actually last two years, though I cut the top portion off when it went back outdoors after overwintering indoors. I've always regretted that, but I didn't expect to keep living. My thinking was that it was near the end and was going to wither away, so I cut it down about a third. It had more white powder than any plant I've ever seen on that stalk.
