Raising cacti and other succulents from seed: It's easier than you think !

With its large, red-rimmed leaves, Flapjack Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora) is a tropical stunner. Flapjack Kalanchoe is appropriately nicknamed for the fleshy leaves that stack one on top of the other like pancakes. This interesting plant, which reaches heights of up to 2 feet at maturity, is also known as paddle plant, desert cabbage and dog tongue. At maturity, the plant develops a spiky, dark yellow bloom. Flapjack Kalanchoe is often grown as an indoor plant, but it can grow outdoors in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11.


1
Plant Flapjack Kalanchoe flapjack where it receives several hours of bright sunlight but is protected during the hottest part of the day. Avoid total shade, which causes the plant to become long and spindly. Sunlight brings out the intense red leaf edges.
2
Water Flapjack Kalanchoe deeply whenever the top of the soil feels dry and let the soil dry before watering again, as Kalanchoe rots quickly in muddy soil. Check the leaves often during the winter months, and water only when the leaves begin to appear shriveled.
3
Spread a thin layer of sand or gravel on the soil around the plant to moderate soil moisture, drainage and temperature. Arrange the material so it doesn't contact the stem, as sand or gravel may become hot enough to damage the plant.
4
Feed the plant every other month during spring and summer, using a general-purpose fertilizer diluted to half strength. Alternatively, use a fertilizer formulated specifically for cacti and succulents. Withhold fertilizer during the winter months. Never over-feed Flapjack Kalanchoe, as succulents are slow-growing plants that are damaged by too much fertilizer.
5
Dig up the Flapjack Kalanchoe and remove the original parent plant when it dies at the end of the blooming season. Replant the offsets that grow at the base of the parent plant to keep the plant vibrant and healthy long-term.
