Element 4in Succulent Live Plant Kalanchoe Luciae Flapjacks Variety Green

Kalanchoe luciae, also known as flapjacks or paddle plant, may be the most elegant of Kalanchoe succulents, with large rounded leaves "stacked" in a rosette. Usually a pale aqua-green, the paddle-like leaves blush a striking red in bright light or cool weather. This plant produces plantlets ("babies") as well as small pale-yellow flowers on a tall stalk. The powdery white coating on the plant is normal, protecting it from excessive strong light. Kalanchoe succulents are robust, drought-tolerant plants and exceedingly easy to grow as long as they are planted in a porous soil. Most prefer bright light to full sun, although a few prefer shadier areas. In general, Kalanchoe can tolerate close to freezing temperatures for brief periods, but must be protected from prolonged frosts. Kalanchoe perform very well in rock gardens, or on patios. With their unusual textures, colors and "plantlets", Kalanchoe are very intriguing, especially to children.
