All breeding and R&D activities take place in state-of-the-art facilities in the Netherlands, where innovation, selection, and quality assurance form the heart of the company's operations. New varieties undergo global field testing to ensure performance across diverse climates and production systems.

Through this new partnership, Succulents Unlimited will bring the complete SlijkermanKalanchoë range to growers across North America. Cuttings will be supplied directly from SlijkermanKalanchoë's production site in Kenya and can be shipped via Succulents Unlimited's established distribution network into the United States and Canada.
