Kalanchoe thyrsiflora – Paddle Plant / Flapjack Succulent 🌿🔴☀️

The Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, commonly known as the Paddle Plant or Flapjack Succulent, is a striking, sun-loving succulent with broad, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette. The leaves are silvery-green with red or coral edges that deepen in colour with bright light, creating a dramatic and sculptural look — perfect for sunny windowsills or modern displays.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive paddle-shaped leaves with red-tinted edges

✔ Compact rosette growth with a bold architectural form

✔ Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance

✔ Produces tall flower spikes with fragrant yellow blooms in maturity

✔ Ideal for bright indoor spaces or sunny patios

Care Instructions:

Light: Loves bright, direct light; full sun enhances its red leaf margins

Watering: Water sparingly — allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings

Humidity: Prefers low to moderate humidity; avoid misting

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix

Feeding: Fertilise lightly every 6–8 weeks during the growing season with a succulent feed

Temperature: Keep between 18–27°C; protect from frost or temperatures below 10°C

Growth: Typically reaches 20–40 cm tall and wide indoors

🌿 Tip: The more sunlight your Paddle Plant receives, the richer and more vibrant its red leaf edges become — making it a showstopper in any bright space.
