Question
I have 3 small clumps of kalanchoes which have grown well in a small corner of my lawn for two years. Recently I have noticed that "something" is eating away at the foliage. I've never had this happen before. There is no discoloration, and they look otherwise healthy. It just looks as if some pest is eating away at the edges of ALL of the leaves. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi Patricia,
Thanx for your question.  Kalanchoe usually doesn't have many pests other than mites or mealybugs.  The pests could be grasshoppers, slugs.  It's obviously something that doesn't care to consume the rest of the leaf.  Keep an eye on it and eventually, you will most likely either catch the culprit or it/they will decide the kalanchoe is not worth the effort and move on to something more savory.  Like I said, there are relatively few pests and none of the standard pests appears to be the ones that are causing the damage you describe.  I think it's just something that has taken a temporary fancy.  If you notice large scale destruction, you will eventually see the pest.  I hope this helps.
