I need to find information on a plant called cylandrica?

Question

I found this plant at a wal-mart store and now can't find any info on it. The plant looks like it should be a succulant. It almost looks like an aloe plant but no matter where we look no info. This plant is suppose to be the 2005 European plant of the year.

Answer 1

Are you sure you have the name right? clandrica common name is "false nettle" and it doesn't look at all like a succulent. Could be you have a kalanchoe? Herehttp://www.emilycompost.com/kalanchoe.htm are some images for identifying them.

Answer 2

Have you talked to the walmart people to see if they could order some more? the site should help....happy hunting
