crop Kalanchoe,
where this is mentioned in the description.
When evaluating Kalanchoe varieties, plant height is a standardized characteristic classified according to international protocols (CPVO/UPOV) in a range from very low to very high expression levels. Measurements are taken in centimeters from the soil level to the top of the inflorescence during the peak flowering period.
This characteristic demonstrates high phenotypic plasticity, depending on the interaction between the genotype and growing conditions. Excessive height or etiolation indicates a lack of light, which negatively affects the ornamental quality and stem strength. The compactness of forms is determined by the length of vegetative internodes and is regulated by light intensity, pot volume, and photoperiodic conditions.
