In the serenity of Icelandic moods, you don’t need a lot to make a statement. Express yourself with these airy botanical works of art. To hang on coat hooks, over the dining table or as a modern variant on the Christmas tree.
Kalanchoë 'Magic Bells'
We're often surprised and delighted by the creations of nature, and Kalanchoe 'Magic Bells' is no exception. Beautiful bunches of light green air pods droop gracefully from the end of tall stems. These air pods, which look like grapes, are hollow and produce bell-shaped red orange flowers.
Kalanchoë beharensis, or Elephant's Ear
The word "Kalanchoë" usually brings to mind small, exquisite succulents, but this grown-up variety can easily reach two meters in height. The leaves of Kalanchoë beharensis aren't just thick, they also curl up at the edges and arch proudly over. The surface is covered with a silver-grey layer of velveteen hairs, just like the inside of an elephant's ear.
Kalanchoë thyrsiflora for a bedside table
Practice good plant design at home by placing a beautiful coloured succulent on your nightstand in the form of Kalanchoë thyrsiflora. This plant produces grey green leaves with an attractive red edge that grow haphazardly over the edges of the pot. The more sunlight this plant gets, the redder the colour becomes.
