Kalanchoe Degremont and Pinnate<\/h2>\n

Description of Kalanchoe Degremont (Kalanchoe daigremontiana Perrier):<\/strong> Crassulaceae family. Succulent succulent perennial herbaceous plant, erect, often branching, 0.3-2 m high.<\/p>\n

\"Kalanchoe:<\/a><\/p>\n

The leaves are opposite, petiolate, succulent, leathery, compound, pinnate, 5-20 cm long and 2.5-12 cm wide, with serrated edges. The lower simple leaflets are oval, the uppermost is up to 13 cm long, the upper ones are sometimes pinnate. In the recesses of the teeth, leaf (“brood") buds are formed, which serve for vegetative reproduction.<\/p>\n

In fact, these are tiny daughter plants, with a root system, which, when they fall to the ground, immediately begin to take root. Inflorescences are axillary panicles.<\/p>\n

\"Kalanchoe:<\/a><\/p>\n

Pedicels 10-25 mm long. Hanging, large bisexual flowers sit on them. Four smooth, green sepals with red or red-purple stripes fuse into a tubular calyx 2.1-3 cm long and 0.6-1.2 cm in diameter. The triangular ends of the sepals remain free. Four stamens are arranged in two circles. Stamens 2-4.5 cm long, fused with the lower quarter of the corolla tube. Carpels 6-12 mm long grow together only at the bases. Each flower gives rise to four capsule fruits 10-14 mm long, surrounded by paper-like corolla remnants and containing many seeds. The small oval seeds are 0.8-1.2 mm long and 0.2-0.35 mm in diameter. In room conditions, it blooms extremely rarely, and after flowering and fruiting, it fades.<\/p>\n

The leaves are opposite, fleshy, the lower ones are simple, oval, the upper ones are pinnatisected or divided into 3-5 lobes. Often, in the depressions between the teeth along the edge of the leaf, many brood buds form, from which children develop – tiny plants with 2-3 pairs of leaves and several thin roots. At the slightest shock, they fall and, falling on the soil, take root very quickly. The plant is unusual in that at first simple leaves are formed on it, and later pinnately dissected. The flowers are white-pink, tubular, large, collected in paniculate inflorescences on the tops of the shoots. Does not flower under indoor conditions.<\/p>\n
