Description
Kalanchoe × richaudii has a simple erect stem, with multiple fleshy, light green to yellowish green leaves, marbled with dark spots near the edges. Leaves are opposite and decussate; each leaf is elongated and V-shaped in cross-section with serrated edges, without auricles at the base. The inflorescences are terminal and corymbose, branches held well above the foliage, forming a candelabra-like shape. Flowers are tubular, with five petals which are typically reddish to orange-pink. The calyx is violet in color.
