Add some variety to your houseplant collection with the Paddle Plant also known as Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 'Red Lips'. Its chunky, rounded leaves are neatly layered with fresh green centers and distinctive red edges which give this succulent plenty of character.
The red coloring is more prominent if the plant is kept in a sunny position with plenty of bright light, so a sunny windowsill or other bright spot makes a good home for it. Its compact shape makes it easy to put on desks, side tables and shelves.
Like most succulents, Kalanchoe 'Red Lips' doesn't need much attention. Let the compost dry out well between waterings and avoid leaving the roots sitting in water. Water even less frequently through the cooler months.
Colourful, compact and easy to care for, this Paddle Plant is a great choice for anyone looking for an unusual succulent without lots of maintenance.

Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright light with some gentle direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. A warm, airy position and lower humidity suit this plant better than a steamy or constantly damp room.
