- Plant Description
- Specifications and Regions
- Watering and Light Recommendations
The Kalanchoe Paddle Plant, also known as Flapjacks, is a unique succulent native to South Africa. Its distinctive wide, round leaves resemble clam shells and can develop a slightly wavy texture as they grow. When exposed to moderate sunlight and cooler temperatures (around 40°F), the edges of the leaves deepen and spread, revealing a lovely pink hue..
- Native to: South Africa
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent, susceptible to frost
- Zone: Suitable for zones 10
- Recommended light conditions: Partial Sun
- Bloomtime: Spring
- Bloom Color: Yellow
Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with small amounts of water throughout the week, it is advisable to thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure that any excess water in the saucer is discarded, as succulents prefer not to sit in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors: During the summer, water your succulents every two weeks by giving them a deep soak and allowing the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, watering once a month is sufficient.
