Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 'Paddle Plant'

Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, commonly known as Flapjack or Paddle Plant, is a distinctive succulent that is prized for its unique, flattened, paddle-shaped leaves. This plant forms a rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that are usually a vibrant green, often with a subtle reddish or pinkish edge, particularly when exposed to bright sunlight or during dry conditions.
 
In the spring and summer, Kalanchoe thyrsiflora produces tall flower spikes adorned with clusters of tubular, yellow-orange flowers. These flowers are attractive to pollinators and add a burst of color to the plant during its blooming season.
 
This succulent prefers bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
 
Kalanchoe thyrsiflora is an excellent choice for succulent gardens, container arrangements, or as a striking indoor plant, appreciated for its unique foliage and low maintenance requirements.
