Succulent- Kalanchoe Mariners Kalanchoe

A sculptural, blue‑green kalanchoe with stacked, paddle-like leaves edged in rosy red under bright sun; reliable winter–spring bloomer for containers and xeric plantings.
Bright Light Drought Tolerant Indoor/Container Friendly USDA 10–12 Toxic to Pets

Description

Kalanchoe “Mariner’s” (commonly aligned with Kalanchoe marnieriana) is an evergreen succulent valued for its architectural, coin‑ or paddle‑shaped leaves arranged along arching stems. The foliage is powdery blue‑green and often blushes pink to red along the margins when grown in strong light or with cool nights. Clumps slowly expand, and mature plants send up airy clusters of tubular coral to orange‑red flowers from late winter into spring—favorites of hummingbirds and early pollinators. Excellent in modern containers, rock gardens, and bright interiors.

Suggested Uses

  • Modern containers and patio pots
  • Xeriscape and rock gardens
  • Coastal and Mediterranean-style plantings
  • Bright indoor windowsills / sunrooms
  • Succulent arrangements and dish gardens
  • Pollinator-friendly winter color

Care Tips

Planting instructions icon
Planting Instructions
Set at the same depth as in the nursery pot. Use a container with drainage; for gardens, mound or raise bed to keep crowns dry. Space 12–18 in apart.
Soil moisture icon
Soil Moisture
Water deeply, then allow 2/3 of the mix to dry before watering again. Reduce in winter; avoid standing water in saucers.
Soil type icon
Soil Type
Fast‑draining cactus/succulent mix. Amend with 25–40% pumice/perlite or coarse sand; pH neutral to slightly acidic.
Humidity icon
Humidity
Low to average household humidity; provide airflow and keep foliage dry to prevent rot.
Pruning icon
Pruning Instructions
After bloom, remove spent flower stalks. Pinch or trim leggy stems in late spring to encourage branching; re‑root cuttings easily.
Winter care icon
Winter Care
Protect from frost; overwinter indoors if temps drop below 50°F (10°C). Provide maximum light and water sparingly.
Planting depth icon
Planting Depth
Plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Do not bury stems; keep the crown slightly elevated.
Fertilization icon
Fertilization
Feed lightly during spring–summer with a half‑strength balanced or succulent fertilizer every 4–6 weeks. Do not fertilize in winter.
Special care icon
Special Care
Rotate monthly for even form; give more sun for red margins. Watch for mealybugs/scale; isolate and treat promptly. Repot every 2–3 years into fresh, gritty mix.
Note: If exact traits vary by cultivar, the above reflects typical care and performance for Mariner’s-type Kalanchoe.

Placement Tips

Indoors, choose a south or west window with several hours of sun. Outdoors, morning sun with light afternoon shade in very hot summers prevents leaf scorch while maintaining color. Always ensure rapid drainage—especially in cool seasons.
