Description
Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, better known as the Paddle Plant or Flapjack, brings bold texture and a desert-chic silhouette to your collection. Its round, stacked leaves are tinged with red when grown in bright light, giving it the look of a living sculpture. Easy to love and even easier to care for, this sun-soaked beauty thrives on neglect and sunshine.
Plant Care
Light:
Loves full sun! A bright windowsill or sunny outdoor spot in summer will bring out its gorgeous red edges.
Watering:
Let the soil become fully dry between waterings. In winter, water very sparingly — this succulent likes it dry and warm.
Temperature:
Thrives in 18–26°C, but can tolerate short dips to 5°C if kept dry. Best to bring indoors before the frost hits.
Potting:
Our A Sandy Loam mix is ideal — super free-draining to keep those roots from sitting in soggy soil.
Hot tips:
Give it a terracotta pot and lots of sun for the best colour. As the plant matures, it may send up a tall bloom stalk — once it flowers, the main rosette will slowly fade, but pups will pop up around the base.
Pet Friendly: No
