  •   Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' is a striking succulent from the Kalanchoe genus, a group native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Madagascar and tropical Africa. As an easy care succulent with an upright, clustering growth style, it fits naturally into the world of low-maintenance indoor plants that look anything but ordinary.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' earns its spider-inspired name from its dramatically textured, deeply serrated leaves that radiate outward in a bold, architectural form. The foliage grows in a dense, upright cluster with a sculptural quality that suits both bohemian and contemporary interiors. Fleshy, waxy leaves store water efficiently, giving this tarantula succulent its characteristic resilience and eye-catching structure.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' produces cheerful blooms in warm tones that emerge most reliably after a period of cooler nights, as a nighttime temperature drop signals the plant to set buds. Like other bushy flowering succulents in the Kalanchoe family, it benefits from bright indirect to partial sun exposure during the bloom cycle. Keeping it away from air conditioning and heater vents helps protect both flowers and foliage from drying airflow.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' is a wonderful choice for collectors who want an exotic spider-leaf succulent that genuinely thrives with minimal fuss. It moves happily outside for summer but needs cover from rain to prevent waterlogging. Cats, dogs, and small children should not be left to nibble or eat the plant, so a high shelf or elevated display spot keeps it both stylish and safely out of reach. It also survives a 10-day trip without a sitter and signals thirst through gentle wilting, making it one of the most rewarding easy care succulents for beginners and experienced growers alike.

  •   Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' thrives in bright indirect light to partial sun, tolerating full sun with caution in south-facing windows where scorching is possible.

      Water Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' every 10 to 14 days, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' performs best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with perlite for extra aeration.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' prefers temperatures between 60 and 85°F (15 to 29°C) and should be protected from frost below 50°F (10°C).

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' grows at a steady upright pace and appreciates a diluted balanced fertilizer monthly during the active growing season.

      Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' is best suited to USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 9 through 11, where winter temperatures rarely dip below 25°F (-4°C). Outdoors year-round, it thrives across Florida, Hawaii, coastal and southern California, southern Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Gardeners in Nevada's lower elevations, coastal Oregon, and the warmer pockets of New Mexico and North Carolina can also grow Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' outside seasonally, while growers in all other states enjoy it as a rewarding indoor succulent.
  • Q: How often should I water Kalanchoe 'Tarantula'?

    Q: How do I get Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' to bloom?
    A: Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' needs a drop in nighttime temperatures to trigger blooming, so moving it to a cooler spot in autumn helps initiate buds. Keep it away from AC and heater airflow during this period.

    Q: Can Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' go outside in summer?
    A: Yes, Kalanchoe 'Tarantula' loves spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot. Make sure it has cover from heavy rain to avoid waterlogged roots.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
