Paddle plants are quaint looking houseplants with paddle shaped leaves. They are short in structure and can be easily potted in small pots. Their red-tinged leaves give it an excellent look and adorn your home beautifully.

Paddle Plant is an unusual-looking succulent that grows in a rosette of flat, round leaves. It adds bold texture, color and form to a succulent dish garden, but this handsome houseplant is eye-catching on its own, too.

The gray-green leaves grow to about 6 in (15 cm) across and will become tinged in red when exposed to sun. Mature plants may produce a spike of fragrant, yellow flowers in spring.

They have a variety of names, but the most common Flapjack Plant and Desert Cabbage. These plants are native of the South African Crassulaceae plant family and make an excellent houseplant.

If you have a penchant for greens, they are definitely the ones to invest in!

Instructions for growing Paddle Plant indoors:

Light: They grow best in bright sunlight; however, you have to be careful to not expose to too much heat. They thrive in bright summer months.

Water: Their watering properties are similar to that of cactus and hence it is best to not put too much water in them. Have a proper drainage at the bottom for excess water to flow. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

Temperature: They are easy to grow in dry indoor spaces that have good amount of heat filtering in. You have to ensure that they receive enough air during stiff winters.
