Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', a captivating cultivar of the Panda Plant family, is a perennial succulent that boasts a unique aesthetic appeal with its velvety, chocolate-edged leaves. Originating from the nursery rather than the wild, this plant brings the exotic allure of Madagascar's arid regions to your home or garden. It typically grows into an upright small shrub, reaching heights of 35-45 cm, and occasionally even up to 1 m under optimal conditions, making it a splendid choice for both indoor and outdoor succulent collections in Australia.

The 'Chocolate Soldier' is distinguished by its dense, white, felt-like hairs that envelop the entire leaf, creating a soft, plush texture. The edges of the leaves are adorned with rich, chocolate-coloured hairs, adding to its decorative charm. This plant is not just admired for its foliage; it also produces small, bell-shaped flowers that are both furry and vibrantly golden ginger in colour, adding a subtle yet striking contrast to its foliage during the blooming season.

Adaptability is a key trait of the Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', thriving in well-draining soil and requiring minimal water. This drought-tolerant succulent prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade, making it suitable for various gardening spaces. With a preference for temperatures between 18-24°C, it aligns well with most Australian climates, particularly in regions that mimic its native habitat's arid conditions.

For gardeners and succulent enthusiasts looking to diversify their collection, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' presents an excellent option. Its ease of care, combined with its distinctive appearance, makes it a delightful addition to any plant collection. Beyond its visual appeal, the 'Chocolate Soldier' cultivar shares the resilience and low-maintenance qualities of the broader Kalanchoe genus, making it a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Expanding on the diverse range of Kalanchoe tomentosa cultivars, each variant brings its own unique flair to the succulent world, making them all worthy additions to any garden or indoor collection. Starting with the original Kalanchoe tomentosa, commonly known as the Panda Plant, this species is celebrated for its soft, velvety leaves that boast a plush, greyish-green hue with chocolate-brown edges. It's the foundation upon which the other cultivars have been developed, offering a mix of resilience and aesthetic appeal that has made it a favorite among gardeners and succulent enthusiasts.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' stands out with its more pronounced chocolate-colored edging and a denser, fur-like texture that covers its leaves, evoking the image of a cuddly teddy bear. This cultivar tends to grow a bit faster and with a more clumping habit than its original counterpart, making it a striking feature in any collection.

For those who prefer a lighter touch, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Golden Girl' introduces a variation with lighter, almost golden-green foliage that shines under the sunlight. This cultivar adds a bright, cheerful element to the succulent garden, contrasting nicely against the darker hues of its siblings.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Dorothy Brown' is another noteworthy variant, admired for its rich brown and sometimes reddish coloring. The leaves of 'Dorothy Brown' have a distinctive appeal, with their color intensity adding a warm, earthy tone to the succulent display.

Last but certainly not least, the 'Teddy Bear' cultivar shares similar coloration to the original Panda Plant but boasts a more compact growth habit, making it ideal for smaller spaces or as part of a succulent arrangement where every inch counts.

Together, these hybrids and cultivars of Kalanchoe tomentosa create a captivating palette of colors and textures. From the soft, greyish-green of the original Panda Plant to the deep, rich tones of 'Dorothy Brown', there's a variant to suit every taste and garden theme. Incorporating any of these succulents into your collection not only enhances its visual diversity but also brings a piece of Madagascar's unique landscape into your home.

Fun new toys
Color: Yellow & Grey & Brown
My dog loves him. They’re easy to squeak and carry in his mouth so it’s a bonus bonus for him. He’s a puppy so he’s not the most coordinated thing yet.

Cute and Durable
Color: Them Apples, Color: Them Apples
I have purchased several Barkbox brand toys for my dog. “Them Apples” may be the cutest of them all. I am impressed at how well-made and designed this toy is. There is a large squeaker at the base of the tree and the rest of the tree has crinkle sound. My dog enjoys playing with the tree as much as he does playing with the apples. The apples are also well made and not flimsy like so many other hide & seek toys. The apples also have squeakers in them. My dog has had this toy for a couple of months now, and it’s still in good shape. I will definitely repurchase if this one ever wears out. Good value for the price.

Super cute and my dog is obsessed!
Color: Donuts, Color: Donuts
This is my crazy lil rascals first toy! She loves her donuts so much, they are pretty sturdy, she did manage to chew a corner off the box but that's expected. She loves the crinkles and taking everything out! My only problem is that it is a bit hard to close with the donuts in there, luckily she always loses one under the couch anyways 🤣 They are super easy to just carry in a purse if you are taking your dog with you and easily washable in the washing machine! The material is super soft and crinkly and all of the donuts have different textures along with squeakers! It is a bit small, so I attached a photo! I got her another one that is bigger recently, it's animal crackers and she is OBSESSED 100/10, always choosing bark for my pups
