Armstrong Garden Centers Flapjacks Kalanchoe

This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. To encourage the signature dark red edges on the leaves, place it in a spot that receives plenty of direct sunlight.

Yes, its compact, mounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for containers. Just ensure you use a well-draining, sandy soil mix to prevent water from pooling around the roots.

As a drought-tolerant succulent, it requires very little water. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the winter months when growth slows down.

The Flapjacks Kalanchoe is hardy in USDA Zone 8b. If you live in a region that experiences hard freezes or temperatures significantly below this range, it is best to keep it in a pot so you can move it indoors during the winter.

You will see tall, yellow, bell-shaped flower spikes appear in late winter to early spring. It is a slow-growing plant, so be patient as it establishes its foliage before blooming.
