Product Description
Kalanchoe thyrsiflora ‘Red Lips’, commonly known as the Paddle Plant, is a highly decorative succulent that brings architectural style to any indoor space. Its thick, rounded leaves grow in neat layers, creating a bold, contemporary silhouette that works beautifully as a standalone feature or as part of a mixed houseplant display.
The real appeal of this plant lies in its changing colour. In bright light and cooler conditions, the leaf edges develop intense red tones, giving the plant its popular ‘Red Lips’ name. These colour shifts make it a dynamic, living feature that evolves with the seasons.
Ideal for warm, bright rooms, this plant stores water efficiently in its leaves, making it forgiving if watering is occasionally forgotten. Whether placed in a home office, living room, or reception area, it adds instant impact with minimal effort.
