Kalanchoe 'Polar Bear' is a soft, sculptural succulent with pale, silvery-green foliage and dense, rounded form. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is believed to be a hybrid developed for ornamental use, likely tracing its roots back to native Kalanchoe species from Madagascar. This plant grows slowly into a low, mounding shape, with broad, fuzzy leaves that catch the light in a way that gives them a frosted or snowy appearance — a fitting image for its name. Indoors or out, it brings a clean, calming presence to succulent collections and small landscapes.

The leaves are thick, oval, and slightly cupped, covered in a soft layer of tiny hairs that create a velvety texture. When grown in bright, indirect light, the color stays a true silvery-green, but in strong direct sun, the edges may blush lightly pink. Mature plants typically reach about 12 to 18 inches tall and can spread up to 2 feet wide, forming a loose rosette pattern as they age. In the right conditions, Kalanchoe 'Polar Bear' may also send up clusters of small, pale flowers, but it is primarily grown for its foliage.

Compared to other succulents, Kalanchoe plants like Polar Bear often have thicker, more water-storing leaves with a soft, waxy or slightly fuzzy surface. This adaptation helps protect them from harsh sunlight and moisture loss. While some Kalanchoes produce plantlets along their leaf edges, Polar Bear follows a more traditional, compact growth form without this trait.

Compared to brighter, more colorful Kalanchoe varieties like Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Polar Bear focuses on form and subtle color rather than flashy blooms. Its slow, compact growth and soft coloration make it a good choice for minimalist designs, rock gardens, or windowsill arrangements. Its velvety texture gives it a soft, almost plush appearance, adding a lovely touch of nature to any living space.
Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or partial sun outdoors. Strong direct sunlight can cause the leaves to develop a slight pink edge but should be limited to avoid scorching.

Water deeply when the soil is completely dry, then let all excess water drain away. Overwatering is the most common problem and should be avoided at all times.

Adapts well to low indoor humidity, typical of most homes. High humidity is not needed and overly damp air can increase the risk of rot.

Grows best between 60–80°F. Protect the plant from frost and cold drafts, as it is not cold hardy.

Needs a well-draining, sandy or gritty soil mix like a cactus or succulent blend. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Feed lightly during the spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer once a month. Fertilizing is usually unnecessary during the fall and winter months.

Kalanchoe 'Polar Bear' is toxic if ingested by pets and humans. Keep it out of reach of animals and small children.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
