If you’re lucky, you might get the opportunity to admire a panda from afar at a zoo, but here’s a cute-as-can-be “panda” of which you can get a really up-close peek…at your home, 24/7 365 days a year. Kalanchoe tomentosa, commonly known as panda plant, forms a shrubby succulent plant with long oval-shaped leaves that are densely covered in fuzzy felt. Flowers are small, furry, and bell-shaped. Panda plant is a must-have as an accent to rose-shaped succulents such as echeverias and graptopetalums.
