Are you looking to add some color and life to your indoor space or garden? Look no further than the Kalanchoe beharensis, a vibrant member of the genus Kalanchoe! Hailing all the way from Madagascar, it has several other common names such as elephant ear kalanchoe, velvet leaf plant, and felt bush. 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is known for its unique appearance, with large, fleshy, velvety leaves that are covered in fine hairs, giving them a fuzzy texture. The silvery-green leaves have a slightly scalloped or serrated edge, which adds to their visual appeal.  

This felt bush plant can grow up to 6 feet tall in its natural environment, but it can also be pruned to keep a more compact size if preferred. It can grow both indoors and outdoors, including its most amazing variety, the Kalanchoe beharensis fang (Felt plant). The stems of the Kalanchoe beharensis are thick and woody, providing stability and structure to this succulent plant. 

The flowers of the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant ear plant are small and inconspicuous compared to its stunning leaves. They typically appear in clusters at the top of tall succulent stems. The greenish-yellow flowers add a subtle touch to the plant's overall appearance. While the flowers may not be the main attraction, they still contribute to the beauty of this unique succulent. 

To propagate the Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ears kalanchoe, you can use stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. With time and proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new plant. It's an exciting way to expand your collection of these beautiful Kalanchoe varieties! 

Watering Needs 

Native to arid regions of Madagascar, the Kalanchoe beharensis has moderate watering needs. It's important to strike a balance when watering this elephant ear plant to keep it happy and healthy. 

When it comes to watering, the Kalanchoe beharensis prefers a "soak and dry" approach. This means that you should thoroughly water your elephant ear Kalanchoe until the excess water just drains out of the bottom of the pot, allowing the soil to become moist. However, it's crucial to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, you can water it more frequently, about once every 1-2 weeks. But during the dormant period in winter, when this Kalanchoe plant is not actively growing, you should reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks.

Remember, it's always better to be underwater than overwater your Kalanchoe beharensis. So, keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. And don't forget to provide good drainage by using a well-drained potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. 

Light Requirements 

The Kalanchoe beharensis loves bright light. This elephant-ear succulent thrives in a spot that receives plenty of full sun to partial sun throughout the day. Placing it near a south or west-facing window is ideal, as it will get the right amount of indirect light without being exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. 

If you don't have a window with adequate sunlight, you can also use artificial grow lights to supplement the natural light. Just make sure to keep the Kalanchoe plants at least a foot away from the light source to prevent leaf burn. 

While the Kalanchoe beharensis can tolerate some shade, it won't thrive in low-light conditions. Lack of light can cause the elephant ear kalanchoe to become leggy and lose its vibrant color. So, be sure to give it the bright light it craves, and it will reward you with its stunning foliage! 

Remember, finding the right balance of light and water will keep your Kalanchoe beharensis elephant's ear Kalanchoe happy and healthy.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Kalanchoe beharensis favors very airy soil, moist, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting soil, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your elephant ear kalanchoe plants to thrive. 

As for fertilizing, the Kalanchoe beharensis doesn't require heavy feeding. During the growing season, you can fertilize your elephant ear succulent with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the Kalanchoe plant with the necessary nutrients. However, during the dormant period in winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing the plant altogether. 

Remember to avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to fertilizer burn and damage to new growth on the succulent plants. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Kalanchoe beharensis is generally suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It prefers warm temperatures and doesn't tolerate frost well, so it's best to keep it indoors or in a protected area if you live in a colder climate. 

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, this elephant ear plant thrives in average to warm temperatures between 65-85°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F as it can cause damage to the leaves and overall health of the plant. 

As for humidity, the Kalanchoe beharensis is adaptable and can handle a range of humidity levels. It can tolerate both dry and slightly humid conditions. However, it's important to avoid excessive humidity or stagnant air, as it can lead to fungal issues or root rot. Providing good airflow around the plant is beneficial for its overall health.

I love these. I put these on every morning when I’m getting ready. Sometimes I’ll even leave them on under sunglasses if I’m just doing school drop off 😆 They don’t slide off, they really help brighten and de-puff my under eyes, they have a cooling effect, unscented, and there’s no irritation. They also help concealer go on super smooth. I recommend!

The Perpetual Joke
One of the best films I have ever seen is The Killing. It can boast a great many things. It can proudly say that it is the best heist film ever made and that it is the creme dela creme of film noir. Out of all the films in my top ten favorites, The Killing is easily the most watchable and purely entertaining. It doesn't try to be much more than a crime picture. A crime picture written by the legendary Jim Thompson of course. Thompson is one of the best American crime writers, well ever. And his work in The Killing is simply exemplary and total-classic Thompson. The film can also boast having a brilliant cast. Sterling Hayden, Elisha Cook Jr., and Marie Windsor soar, it can boast having possibly the strongest ensemble in all of the crime genre. It can boast having a pitch perfect tone and a distinctly unique and absorbing atmosphere. It can brag about the extraordinary tracking shots throughout or the lighting that startles and dazzles and vibes, melts. It can brag about being fun and devious and sly. It can brag about being unpredictable and clever. Smart. It can brag about being one the greatest films ever made. It's honestly that perfect. And did I mention that some guy named Stanley Kubrick directed the thing? The Killing is a film about a group of men who plan to knock off a racetrack, those who seek to thwart them, and how it all plays out. The characters are unforgettable. The Killing has in it's repertoire more than just a few of my favorite noir characters. What makes the players so special is that all of them are so sympathetic. Really. My heart goes out to each and every one of them, understanding and empathy seldom hits this hard within the parameters of the heist and noir genre. But here, the damn thing works every time. I've seen the film several times and I still physically act as if every time is my first. I cover my hands over my mouth in astonishment, I bite my nails in anticipation, I drum on my knees with rhythmic excitement, I laugh out loud, and I cheer relentlessly for everyone involved. I imagine myself as a member of the outfit. I have so much fun with this twisted picture that it's ridiculous. Okay. Lucien Ballard. Dick Tower. Earl Snyder. The men who walk the walk. One of the most dazzling things about The Killing is it's technical brilliance. The thing looks absolutely gorgeous and twisted and just right. Smokey and sexy and rough. There are shots in this film that your eyes can more than feast on, they can devour them. There are sequences of sight and sound and light that will make you fall in love with noir all over again. If that's not enough, Jim Thompson's dialogue will make your head spin it's so good. You'll find yourself quoting it to yourself without warrant or cause. The beats and the meter and time and scale of Thompson's writing will send you for a ride. Great dialogue and a truly complex and understated plot, the inner workings of which are not only of the heart-pounding variety but the very fabric that it is woven into is absolutely compelling. There is a subtext here as well. I don't think Kubrick ever really made a film just for the sake of doing so, he always had something deeper to communicate on top of it. The Killing communicates within the subtext the idea of the perpetual joke. Borderline Absurdism. Characters die literally howling about not being able to understand their own private punchline. Robberies take place by men in the guise of clowns. Think Hayden Sterling as Pagliacci The Clown. The Killing feels like a crime film written by Jim Thompson, directed by Stanley Kubrick, and dreamt up by Albert Camus. The idea that everything is absurd, that life is a frenzied haywire with a morbid sense of humor. I think Sterling's Johnny finally understood the great joke of life at the end of it all. And its pointless brand of mischief. It is fascinating seeing the great Stanley Kubrick, before he really was the GREAT Stanley Kubrick, working within the framework of the crime genre. Kubrick excels here, even if he was limited by boundaries of style and time. He is a filmmaker that mastered every genre he dabbled in. He is not only one of the greatest directors that ever lived but he is my personal favorite one. His films have a crazy power, an uncanny transcendental quality to them. The Killing possesses every bit as much magic that his post 2001 films do. The Killing has a little bit more than that as well. It has an incredible watchability factor. I could watch The Killing once a week for the rest of my life and still not get tired of it. I think I'll do just that. Why not? You only live once, right?

Worth viewing and studying.
First major Kubrick feature film noir. Nothing about Sterling Hayden's Communism here. Cool caper with a classic cast. The flick provides an impactful reminder to never skimp on low quality luggage, to use a double lock, and to take time whenever possible to bundle your cash with rubber bands. "While playing chess in Washington Square, Kubrick met producer James B. Harris, who considered Kubrick to be "the most intelligent, most creative person I have ever come in contact with", and the two formed the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation in 1955.[52] Harris purchased the rights to Lionel White's novel Clean Break for $10,000,[g] and upon Kubrick's suggestion, they hired film noir novelist Jim Thompson to write the script for the film—which later became The Killing (1956)—about a meticulously planned racetrack robbery gone wrong. The film starred Sterling Hayden, with whom Kubrick had been impressed in The Asphalt Jungle (1950).[54] Kubrick and Harris moved to Los Angeles from New York and signed with the Jaffe Agency to shoot the picture, which became Kubrick's first full-length feature film shot with a professional cast and crew. The Union in Hollywood stated that Kubrick would not be permitted to be both the director and the cinematographer of the movie, so veteran cinematographer Lucien Ballard was hired for the shooting. Kubrick agreed to waive his fee for the production, which was shot in just 24 days on a budget of $330,000.[55] He clashed with Ballard during the shooting, and on one occasion Kubrick threatened to fire Ballard following a camera dispute, despite being only 27 years old at the time and 20 years Ballard's junior.[54] Hayden recalled that Kubrick was "cold and detached. Very mechanical, always confident. I've worked with few directors who are that good".[56] The Killing failed to secure a proper release across the United States; the film made little money, and was promoted only at the last minute, as a second feature to the Western movie Bandido! (1956). Several contemporary critics lauded the film, however, with a reviewer for TIME comparing its camerawork to that of Orson Welles.[57] Today, critics generally consider The Killing to be among the best films of Kubrick's early career; its nonlinear narrative and clinical execution also had a major influence on later directors of crime films, including Quentin Tarantino. Dore Schary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was highly impressed as well, and offered Kubrick and Harris $75,000 to write, direct, and produce a film, which ultimately became Paths of Glory (1957)."
