Maintenance
Caring for your Kalanchoe tomentosa is straightforward. A care guide suggests plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. A location with bright, filtered light works best since too much direct sun can scorch its delicate hairs. When watering, follow the "soak and dry" method. Water the plant thoroughly but infrequently, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings to avoid root rot.
Placement
The best placement for your Panda Plant succulent is in a well-lit area where its soft texture and colours can be appreciated. It will enhance the beauty of a sunny windowsill, a bright shelf, or as a centrepiece on a table.
