Kalanchoe humilis is a compact succulent with fleshy, blue-green leaves marked with striking plum coloured banding. It's an easygoing plant that brings pattern and texture to a sunny shelf without asking for much in return.

It sits well alongside other succulents, adding a burst of colour to a windowsill collection.
