Kalanchoe thyrsiflora (Flapjacks / Paddle Plant) – Red-Edged Succulent | 15cm Pot Outdoor Plant

Foliage: Large, fleshy, paddle-shaped leaves in a rosette, covered in a white, powdery coating (pruina) that helps reflect sunlight.

Color: Leaves are grey-green with red edges, intensifying in winter.
Flowers: Tall flower spikes (up to 1m) with dense clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers appear in late winter/spring.

Growth Habit: Forms a basal rosette; the main rosette dies after flowering, but it self-seeds readily.

Light: Full sun to partial shade (4-8 hours of sun is ideal).

Water: Drought-tolerant; water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

Soil: Requires gritty, well-draining soil (cactus/succulent mix is perfect).
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 10–35°C; protect from frost.

Maintenance: Cut back the spent flower stalk after blooming to encourage new growth from the base.
