Kalanchoe 'Precious Pink Meadow'

Kalanchoe 'Precious Pink Meadow,' also referred to as the Flaming Katy or Tom Thumb, is a stunning flowering plant that is sure to add a touch of beauty to any garden or home. With its unique characteristics and striking pink-medium blue color, this plant is a true gem.

One of the distinguishing features of the 'Precious Pink Meadow' is its double (pleniflorous) flower type. This means that each flower is filled with multiple layers of petals, giving it a full and luxurious look. The flowers have a diameter of 2-2.5 cm and a length/height of 1-1.5 cm, making them small and delicate. The inflorescence is in the form of a corymb, with the flowers clustered together in a rounded shape.

The leaves of this Kalanchoe variety are equally as attractive as its flowers. The leaf margin is sinuate, meaning it has a wavy or jagged edge. The leaves have a width of 5-7.5 cm and a size of 10-15 cm. They are a dark green color, providing a beautiful contrast to the vibrant pink flowers. The leaf surface is dull but smooth to the touch.

In terms of scent, the 'Precious Pink Meadow' is unscented, which may be beneficial for those who are sensitive to strong floral fragrances. The flower color distribution is unicolored, meaning that the entire flower is the same shade of pink-medium blue. This monochromatic color scheme adds to the overall elegance and simplicity of this Kalanchoe variety.

Caring for the 'Precious Pink Meadow' is relatively easy. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires moderate watering. It should be placed in an area that receives bright, indirect sunlight. As a succulent plant, it is relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dry soil. However, it is important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

This Kalanchoe variety is perfect for adding a pop of color to indoor spaces such as living rooms, offices, or bedrooms. Its compact size, reaching a maximum height of 15 cm, makes it suitable for small pots or containers. It can also be planted outdoors in rock gardens or as part of a larger container display.

Whether you are an experienced gardener or a beginner, the 'Precious Pink Meadow' Kalanchoe is a delightful choice. Its charming double blooms, sinuate leaves, and vibrant pink-medium blue color make it a standout addition to any plant collection. Bring a touch of beauty to your surroundings with this exquisite variety.
