I believe this Kalanchoe is a hybrid of K. tomentosa x K. millotii. It has mistakenly been called Kalanchoe 'Behartii' (thinking it was K. beharensis x K. millotii)-besides, using a Latinized name for a cultivar name, not valid. They are selling it at the box stores as K. beharensis (incorrect). As far as I know, no cultivar name has been given for it. I believe you have one of these in your Fotki album already, Yale...as Kalanchoe 'Behartii'.

Thanks Dzitmoidonc! The plant was given to me 2 months ago - it was a cutting back then. When I checked its roots at that time, it had none. I do not know how much roots it has grown since then - I have to check. How long does it usually take for a plant to be pot bound? As for the plant becoming leggy - it hasn't happened yet. I mean, I think it still looks the same from the time I received it. But I might try what you had suggested in the future when the plant becomes leggy. Honestly, I have been observing the months every week and I don't notice anything (regarding the plant growing) except for the aerial roots. I will keep this advice in mind when I am watering. Thanks again!

Don't plant a Magnolia if you're worried about mess. Someone planted one 50 years ago next to our pool. It is absolutely beautiful and give great shade to the south side of the house, BUT it is very, very messy. The large leaves drop all year, heaviest in the spring, and they take years to decompose. In the summer the beautiful flowers drop bud sheaths and then petals. Later in fall, heavy cones drop and bring tons of squirrels who pull them apart after the seeds and leave a mess everywhere. Plus the cones are kinda spiky, painful if you accidentally step on one, plus a tripping hazard. So yes, a beautiful majestic tree...for the outer edges of a property, not near a patio. You have been warned, lol. The Africarpus gracilior is a pretty good choice, they do get huge with age, but are fast and pretty clean, and handle heat and soil compaction well. Josue Diaz's suggestion of Brachychiton populneus is a good choice too, lovely tree, too tender for where I am, but should do great for you. Stan's suggestion of a Tristaniopsis laurina is a good one too, but pretty slow growing. If you want shade soon, I'd get the largest one you can find. It will be expensive, but save you several years waiting. I love Ficus microcarpa (Indian Laurel)! Beautiful tree, gorgeous white smooth trunk! I just got back from visiting my daughter in San Luis Obispo and the downtown streets are lined with them and they're very majestic. Do be aware that they can get very large buttress roots with age, but if you give them lots of root room near the patio, but not right next to or in the patio, they should be fine.

Photobucket is giving me all kinds of trouble today, so I can't post my pix to give visual differences. So, words will have to do, I suppose. You can Google images to see as well. Kalanchoe tomentosa is a green-grey or bluish-grey fuzzy leaf, compared to eriophylla's white-grey fuzzy leaf. The tips of tomentosa are most times edged at the tips (top portion) with a darker color (either brown or black), whereas, eriophylla has none or just a bit at its tips. K. tomenosa can have a scalloped look at its leaf end, whereas eriophylla comes to a point. The blooms of K. tomentosa are a darker purpley color & the outside of the petals are fuzzy. K. eriophylla has pink blooms ~the calyx are fuzzy, but not the petals (I'm pretty sure--haven't seen blooms for a while on that one recently). Hope this helps!
