Overview
Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, commonly known as Paddle Plant, is a striking succulent grown for its large, rounded leaves that form neat, architectural rosettes. The powdery blue-green foliage develops attractive red margins when grown in bright light, creating year-round colour and structure.
Its bold, sculptural appearance makes it an excellent choice for modern interiors, where it works beautifully on windowsills, shelves or coffee tables. Slow growing and drought tolerant, it is well suited to busy households and anyone looking for a low-maintenance houseplant.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Position in the brightest room available, ideally close to a south- or west-facing window where it will receive several hours of bright light. Strong light encourages the richest leaf colouring.
Watering
Allow the compost to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away, and reduce watering significantly during winter.
Humidity
Average household humidity is ideal. This succulent prefers dry air and does not require misting.
Feeding
Feed sparingly during spring and summer with a cactus or succulent fertiliser at the recommended rate.
Perfect For
- Sunny windowsills
