Can you propagate a paddle plant?
Paddle Plants, like most succulents that I know of, are so easy to propagate. You can use a knife or your pruners (I used both as you'll see in the video) to cut those big ole stems. ... Paddle Plants have lots of babies (pups) which form up & down the stem as well as at the base.
Can you propagate flapjacks?
Kalanchoe luciae “Flapjack” or “Paddle Plant” can be propagated from leaves, cuttings, or offsets.
How do you propagate a paddle cactus?
Cut a paddle off the cactus at the joint, using a clean knife. Select a healthy paddle on an actively growing stem. The new paddles grown in spring typically root quickly.
Why is my paddle plant droopy?
Most likely what is causing the drooping leaves is lack of light; that and the pale color of the leaves is an indication that the plant needs brighter light with higher intensity - they can take full sun, which turns the leaves a beautiful reddish pink.
How often should you water a paddle plant?
Give the pot a quarter turn every week or so to expose all sides to sunlight. Water: Water thoroughly, then allow top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Don't allow soil to get soggy or the roots may rot. Avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent rot.
Why is my flapjack plant turning red?
If the plant gets enough light during the cooler winter months, its green leaves are more likely to develop the red tips that it's known for.

Are flapjack plants poisonous?
All parts of the flapjack are toxic to humans, cats, and dogs. That includes the leaves, roots, but especially the flowers. If your Kalanchoe thyrsiflora flowers, take extra caution to keep it away from small children and pets. The flowers are the most toxic part of the plant.
How fast do flapjacks grow?
Flapjacks grow slowly and take several years to grow a few inches. At full maturity, the succulent can be 18 inches tall and wide. Keep surrounding plants far from the flapjack so it can spread over the years.
Can you take cuttings from a cactus?
Propagating by stem cuttings is probably the most common and easiest route. Many cacti can be propagated successfully by stem cuttings. Stem cuttings are taken from an existing plant, then allowed to dry and callous. The cuttings will eventually start rooting from the cut end and start growing as a new plant.
Can you propagate cactus in water?
Cactus is a type of succulent that can root in either water or dirt. Some varieties of cacti will root better in dirt, but many will also root in water. By rooting your cactus in water, you can try getting more plants without buying them since you use plants you already have.
