Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has large paddle-shaped leaves. A characteristic feature is the contrasting pattern: distinct dark burgundy stripes resembling a tiger pattern are located on a green leaf background. During the flowering period, inflorescences with small flowers are formed, which do not have high ornamental significance.

The plant habit is described as rugged and wild, which distinguishes it from traditional flowering Kalanchoe species. The variety is drought-tolerant, requires bright light, and needs moderate watering to prevent root system rot.
