Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. ... Kalanchoe is a succulent herb of the jade plant family (Crassulaceae) from Madagascar.

The genus was first described in 1763 by the botanist Michel Adanson.
Kalanchoe was brought from Madagascar to Paris in 1927 and turned into a houseplant by the German seed merchant Robert Blossfeld. Today, Blossfeld’s name is attached to the species Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
This plant was one of the first plants in space, sent to the Soviet space station Salyut 1 in 1971. The plants were brought up to the station to increase the mood of the crew.
