Pies from Heaven

Kalanchoe rhombopilosa, commonly known as Pies from Heaven, is a rare succulent native to Madagascar, admired for its distinctive foliage. Its fan-shaped leaves range from silvery-grey to olive-green, adorned with striking dark brown or copper mottling. The edges are delicately scalloped, evoking the look of pie crusts, while a fine layer of hairs and powdery coating enhances their silvery sheen. Upright to sprawling woody stems support the plant, which can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) tall, making it a compact yet eye-catching addition to any collection.

Environment

Kalanchoe rhombopilosa thrives with bright, indirect light, sparse watering, and gritty, well-draining soil. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings, as overwatering quickly leads to root rot. Keep it in warm, dry conditions above 10°C, avoiding frost and excess humidity. A diluted succulent fertilizer once a month during spring and summer supports growth, while minimal feeding is needed in winter. Handle gently since the leaves are fragile, and place it where it gets enough light to maintain its striking silver-grey patterns without scorching.

Landscape Use

Kalanchoe rhombopilosa is an excellent mid-ground plant. It shines in arrangements with other, more vivacious succulents. 

Most succulents need to be watered twice a week during summers and only once in monsoon & winters. Varieties like Haworthias, Crassulas and Gasterias are well suited for low-light indoors and window-sills. If the leaves get too bulky, it is a sign of overwatering & if the leaves look shrivelled it is a sign of less watering.

As a general rule of thumb, all the ones with colourful leaves like Echeverias, Sedeveria and Graptopetalum like bright sunlight and semi shade in extreme summers. They cannot be kept indoors or in full shade. All succulents love morning sun.

You can fertilise your succulent once a month.

Watering tips : Make sure NOT to water on the plant itself. Water directly in the soil. You can use a cup or a glass to make sure the water does not spray on leaves. When watering, make sure water comes out of the drainage hole.
