Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe /ˌkæləŋˈkoʊ.iː/ KAL-ən-KOH-ee, also written Kalanchöe or Kalanchoë, is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent plants in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. A Kalanchoe species was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1979.[4] Kalanchoes require direct sunlight although they can survive with bright indirect sunlight.
