Kalanchoe Luciae 'Fantastic' Variegated Paddle Plant is an eye-catching succulent that boasts a captivating blend of bright foliage colors. This cultivar, which originated in the Netherlands, is a descendant of the Kalanchoe luciae species and is highly sought-after by plant enthusiasts worldwide.
The Variegated Paddle Plant forms compact rosettes composed of broad, grayish-green leaves adorned with irregular pale yellow stripes. The undulating margins of the leaves are tinged with a reddish hue, especially when exposed to full sun or a dry environment. This captivating red blush is even more pronounced during the cooler winter months. The rosettes can grow up to 15 cm tall and 25 cm in diameter, with leaves reaching up to 12 cm long and 11 cm wide. In late winter or early spring, pale yellow urn-shaped flowers appear in clusters on a single stem that can grow up to 90 cm long.
This succulent thrives in well-drained soil and requires at least six hours of sunlight daily. It is highly adaptable to various light conditions, from full to partial sun. However, in Australia, it is essential to protect the plant from harsh midday sun, as it can cause the foliage to scorch. The Kalanchoe Luciae 'Fantastic' is not cold-hardy and is best grown in containers that can be brought indoors during colder months.
When it comes to watering, the Variegated Paddle Plant is quite drought-tolerant but is sensitive to overwatering. Allow the soil to dry about 2.5 cm down before watering again. Light fertilization during the growing season is beneficial, but it is recommended to withhold fertilizers and reduce watering during autumn for both indoor and outdoor plants.

Its unique appearance and fascinating coloration make it a popular choice among succulent aficionados.
