A Kalanchoe species was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1979. The majority of kalanchoes require around 6–8 hours of sunlight a day; a few cannot tolerate this, and survive with bright, indirect sunlight to bright shade.","gbif_id":2985928,"image_thumbnail":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/thumbnails/kalanchoe_thumbnail_DBU1sYx.jpg","image_large":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/large/kalanchoe_thumbnail_sOA2Sle.jpg"}
