Kalanchoe pumila, commonly known as Flower Dust Plant, is a dwarf succulent subshrub in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky outcrops and shrubland in Madagascar. It typically grows to 20 cm (8 in) tall and 45 cm (18 in) wide, featuring arching stems with frosted, silvery leaves and clusters of small, pink flowers with purple veining that bloom in spring. The flowers are quite showy and attract pollinators. This plant is particularly noted for its attractive foliage and compact growth habit.

Flower Dust Plant is valued for its ornamental qualities, including its dusty appearance and vibrant blooms. It is often used in container gardens, rockeries, and as a houseplant in temperate regions due to its minimum temperature requirement of 12 °C (54 °F). It thrives in full sun to part shade, requiring low water once established and well-draining soil. It is relatively easy to maintain, making it suitable for gardeners of all skill levels. The Royal Horticultural Society has recognized it with the Award of Garden Merit, indicating its excellence for home garden use. While generally pest-resistant, mealybugs and scale insects can sometimes be a problem. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so careful watering is essential.CC BY-SA 4.0
