Hi Billyhubb! Kalanchoe mortagei is a synonym for Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe poincarei)

I don't grow Kalanchoe but I'd think your plant would require about the same care as other Kalanchoe's: http://garden.org/plants/searc... and most succulent type plants requiring a location with a lot of bright light to full sun; a well draining potting medium that doesn't retain a lot of water (which would cause root rot) and minimal regular watering.

Hopefully someone who grows these beauties will pop in with some additional advice for you.

Thanks, Lin...
Mine is producing so many new plants right now... I'm just needed to harvest them. Wondering whether I need to purchase regular potting soil.... or soil for succulents? Guess that's my main question now.
Thanks for the response, Lin

You could use regular potting soil and mix in a lot of perlite to help with drainage. I use a mix of regular potting soil, perlite and orchid bark mix (which has bark, perlite and charcoal) for most everything I grow. I just dump some of each into a 5 gal bucket and mix it together with my hands until it looks right. It makes for a fast draining mix so during droughts I have to water much more often but at least I don't have root rot on my plants like I did years ago.

Again, thanks!
Will try that combination!
