black tie succulent Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Jumbo' – Sprouts of BristolWhen I look at this Kalanchoe, I think of elephants' ears. But it's such a small plant, it's probably closer to mouse ears and just as fluffy too! These tactile leaves are covered in tiny hairs which help hold in moisture in their native Madagascar. The rounded leaves fan out from a central stem, their pale green colour turned silvery by their furry surfaces, and they are tipped with deep brown colouring.

When I look at this Kalanchoe, I think of elephants' ears. But it's such a small plant, it's probably closer to mouse ears... and just as fluffy too! These tactile leaves are covered in tiny hairs which help hold in moisture in their native Madagascar. The rounded leaves fan out from a central stem, their pale green colour turned silvery by their furry surfaces, and they are tipped with deep brown colouring. Add some contrast and interesting texture to your houseplant collection. And don't worry, although these plants can grow as high as 3ft (90cm) in the wild, they take a really long time to get there in your home, so it's only a little plant to bring into your space. Just don't blame us if you accidentally end up with four of them because they are so adorable and fluffy...

Scientific Name
Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Jumbo'

Common Name
Jumbo Panda Plant, Pussy Ears, Cat Ears, Donkey Ears

Origin
This species of Kalanchoe is native to the island of Madagascar

Light
Your Kalanchoe will love a splash of morning or evening sun, so look for an east or west-facing window. These plants suffer in low light, so making sure they get some sun is key!

Water
Let the soil dry out between waters. In its native Madagascar, it gets occasional downpours of rain with long dry spells in between, so try and match what it's used to!

Humidity
Low humidity is what these plants are used to, so anywhere in your home that isn't right next to an operating radiator OR really damp and humid will do just fine!

Soil
Use a well-draining mix with components such as sand and grit. A mix designed for cacti and succulents will work well here. Repot every three years in Spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. A specific 'cactus' feed will do the best job here.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is between 15-25°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
If you notice the centre of its leaves getting pale, your plant is probably not getting enough light; if the centre is soft and the foliage blackened, it is too wet and needs to dry out. Crispy brown edges of the leaves indicate too little water or too much sun.
These plants are also super easy to propagate; a fallen leaf, put onto soil, will start to root, and grow into its own whole new plant!

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
