Paddle Plant Flapjacks Plant Propagation: How To Prune & Take Cuttings / Joy Us Garden

Paddle Plants grow leggy over time. They benefit from a good cut back every now & then to maintain their rosette form. Mine was overtaking a mixed succulent planting.
Here I prune & take cuttings of my Paddle Plants (Flapjacks Kalanchoe) as the first steps to propagation. MORE DETAILS ABOUT PRUNING & PROPAGATING IN THE POST: https://www.joyusgarden.com/paddle-pl...

BTW: Here I call this plant Kalanchoe thrysifolia but it’s actually Kalanchoe luciae, or so I’ve been told. Thyrisifolia and luciae seem to get used interchangeably. Closely related are K. fantastica and K. tetraphylla.

When I moved from Santa Barbara to Tucson, I left my beloved garden & all those fleshy succulents behind. The ones planted in the garden stayed, & those in pots were given away to friends and neighbors.

A tear or 10 were shed but I did take cuttings of many of those plants to ease my pain & satisfy my horticultural itch. This is all about Paddle Plant propagation & how to prune and take cuttings of this fascinating succulent.

These Paddle Plants were part of this mixture of succulent cuttings & plants which was planted about a year and a half ago. My, how they’ve grown & spread! In the video, I said they had come from 2 or 3 cuttings but it looks like there’s only 1 Paddle Plant cutting when you click on the blog post.

BTW: Here I call this plant Kalanchoe thrysifolia but it’s actually Kalanchoe luciae, or so I’ve been told. Thyrisifolia and luciae seem to get used interchangeably. Closely related are K. fantastica and K. tetraphylla.
