Kalanchoe thyrsiflora aka Flapjacks

With its straightforward care requirements, Flapjacks is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Flapjacks does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

When it comes to the Flapjacks, a potting soil that is too moist can cause problems. For this reason, it's important to use a soil mix that is well-draining and does not retain too much moisture. A soil that includes perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal. You can achieve this by simply adding a few scoops of perlite to your store-bought cactus soil.

Flapjacks requires abundant, bright and direct light. Placing it less than one foot from a window is the best way to make sure the plant receives enough light to survive and thrive. Depending on your region, however, the current weather can affect the placement of the plant in your home. For example, in some areas the sun may be too direct and intense, so it's best to place it farther away from the window. You may also need to adjust your placement according to the season as the sunlight can change intensity over the course of the year. If you live in a region with significant temperature fluctuations, such as a desert, you may need to place the plant a bit farther away from the window to avoid extreme heat or cold. With some care and attention, your Flapjacks will be sure to bring you many years of beauty and enjoyment.

Flapjacks is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Flapjacks enjoys dry environments, but misting the plant or providing extra humidity can create an environment for harmful fungi to thrive on the leaves.

The Flapjacks should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.
