Hello all,
I recently found a wonderful little plant with succulent type leaves. The
leaves
are only about 3/4 inch in diameter and they are somewhat green and fuzzy.
The
people at the local nursery said they believed it was a Kalanchoe but I
wonder.
The leaves are very aromatic with a spicy-minty aroma and they said it is
called
"Menthol" in the trade. I also have a thriving Ditney of Crete and these two
plants look almost identical. The newer one has a more upright character
at the
moment and the leaves on the older plant are a little shinier. Otherwise they
are virtually identical. Is there a dwarf type Kalanchoe which is aromatic?
Is there a possibility that Ditney of Crete would be considered a succulent?
What are your thoughts?
