Paddle Plants Dimensions & Drawings

Description

Paddle Plants, scientifically known as Kalanchoe luciae, is a stocky succulent with round paddle shaped leaves. Found naturally in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa, and Swaziland, the edges of the paddle plant become tinged with pink when stressed with direct sunlight and cool temperatures. Paddle plants are easy to maintain in indoor environments due to their drought resistant properties and preference for bright light, average humidity levels, and dry (or medium moist) well-drained soils. Paddle plants should only be watered when the soil has completely dried out.

Dimensions & Sizes

Paddle plants grow to heights between 1’-2’ (30.5-61 cm) with spring blooming stalks of 2’-3’ (61-91.4 cm).

Common Questions

How tall is a Paddle Plant?

Paddle plants grow to between 1’-2’ | 30-60 cm in height with stalks of 2’-3’ | 60-90 cm grown during spring blooms.

How do you care for a Paddle plant?

Paddle Plants are drought and salt resistant and do well in bright light, average humidity levels, and dry (or medium moist) well-drained soils.

How much should you water a Paddle Plant?

Paddle plants should be watered only when the soil has completely dried out.

How can I tell if my house plant is getting too much or too little light?

Determining if a houseplant is receiving too much or too little light involves observing its symptoms. Too little light often results in leggy growth, with the plant stretching towards the light source, and pale or yellowing leaves. Conversely, too much light can cause leaves to become scorched, crisp, or develop brown spots, particularly on the edges and tips.

How can I prevent and treat common pests on house plants?

To prevent and treat common pests on houseplants, regularly inspect leaves and stems for signs of infestation. Keep plants healthy, as stressed plants attract pests. For prevention, use neem oil or insecticidal soap sprays. If pests are present, isolate the affected plant, remove visible pests by hand or with a water spray, and treat with appropriate insecticides or natural remedies like diluted soap water. Regularly clean plant leaves to remove dust and debris, which can harbor pests.

How do I repot an indoor plant?

To repot an indoor plant, first choose a new pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Gently remove the plant, shaking off excess soil and untangling roots. Place some fresh potting mix in the new pot, position the plant in the center, and fill around it with more soil. Water thoroughly to settle the plant and eliminate air pockets.

What are signs that a container plant needs repotting?

Signs that a container plant needs repotting include roots growing out of the drainage holes, water running straight through the pot without soaking in, and the plant becoming top-heavy or tipping over. You may also notice stunted growth, yellowing leaves, or soil that dries out too quickly. If the plant looks crowded or the potting mix appears compacted, it’s time to give your plant a larger home.

How often should potted plants be watered?

Potted plants should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, which typically means every few days, though frequency varies by plant type, pot size, and environment. Warm, sunny conditions dry soil faster, while cooler, shaded areas slow moisture loss. Overwatering can harm roots, so it's best to check soil moisture before watering. Consistent, balanced care helps potted plants stay healthy and thrive in their containers.

Do potted plants need drainage holes?

Yes, potted plants need drainage holes to prevent water from collecting at the bottom of the container, which can lead to root rot and other issues. Drainage allows excess water to escape, keeping the soil properly aerated and the roots healthy. Without proper drainage, even well-cared-for plants can suffer. Using a saucer underneath the pot can catch runoff without compromising the plant’s well-being.
