Kalanchoe tetraphylla is a rare succulent native to the rocky regions of Madagascar. It features an upright, woody stem that can reach up to five feet in height, topped with a terminal rosette of broad, fleshy leaves. These leaves are distinctive for their serrated margins and reddish-green hues, which intensify under bright light. Unlike many relatives, it produces lateral inflorescences from leaf axils. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade to prevent leaf scorch.
