    I own three (small) kalanchoe tomentosa, but they look a bit different in colour and shape. Are they different cultivars of the species? Can anyone identify them?

    if you have different species there well...my friend my Kalanchoe tomentosa is another one...it looks totally different...the leafs are all smooth and don't have those dots at the end of the leaf...is s that a bad thing?

    and could you tell me how do you take care of yours ( i searched a lot of sites but they don't tell much about watering or propagating)...how often do you water them (my pot has no holes and being a real noob to this it's a pain >_< ) and how can you propagate them throughout leafs?

    Those are definitely plants of Kalanchoe tomentosa. Its one of the few Kalanchoe species with alternate leaves. The first and last are probably the same, differing in appearance because of the way you are growing them. The second may be one of the various unusual forms collected in Madagascar by Werner Rauh.

    Never heard of a selection of the species with smooth leaves. The brown markings on the leaf margins are typical for Kalanchoe tomentosa.
