Kalanchoe Flapjacks - Live Starter Plant
Best healthy starter plants for cultivating vibrant home gardens.
The Flapjack succulent, also known as the Paddle Plant, features unique paddle-shaped leaves arranged in rosette clusters, making it a striking and low-maintenance houseplant. This drought-resistant succulent thrives in warm regions and can be grown outdoors, but it's best brought indoors in colder climates. It prefers a 'soak and dry' watering method, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. For optimal growth, provide at least six hours of bright, direct sunlight daily, with morning sun being ideal to prevent leaf burn from intense afternoon rays. This plant is well-suited for containers and can be easily moved indoors when temperatures drop below 20° F.
