Kalanchoe luciae is one of the most popular succulents. Do you grow it? What do you like most about it?

I like that this Kalanchoe has a stacked look and its colors are so vibrant and looks neat and adorable ❤❤❤

@@jdt_skincareaddict It might grow well for you. It's more tropical than most succulents.

Thank you for sharing this.

Oh my goodness those towers!!!!

FINALLY someone is showing Dragonfire some love. I've been a proponent of them since they came out. They're wonderful. Of course it would be the queen of succulents that does it with her sultry voice 😁

They are indeed. I keep adding more! (Yeah, my voice...I was trying not to cough, LOL)

I've fallen in love with this plant and I don't even have one! I plant to get one at my locak nursery or online is a couple of weeks.

Thanks this video helped

Thanks for the video. I am in Indiana and grow paddle plant inside during winter then outside during summer. I enjoyed the videos you made buying pots for your succulents. Please do another.

Thank you!! Always great to hear from you 😉

One of my favorites!

My husband and I saw this beautiful plant at a restaurant. There was a piece of it on the ground. My husband took it and planted it. We now have two beautiful plants in our front yard. I gave some to my best friend to plant in a memorial garden. I didn’t know about cutting the blooms off to keep them fuller.

I’m not going to lie. If I see amazing plants in a big business landscape and it looks like it’s in need of help, I so take a cutting from them

Oh, Simon. What a way to justify theft! If you saw a leashed dog outside a convenience store that looked sad, would you take it because "it looks like it's in need of help"? @@simonb6478

You used the word gallery. I love your arrangements, but do you think you could do (I know especially you can) arrangements with them being a gallery in mind? I feel your outdoor spaces are already like this, but I live in a tiny apartment and I’m looking to learn how to make gallery gardens.

What an interesting idea: a gallery garden. Love it! This is the closest I've come: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpZ4yo-ulMS_ddI.htmlsi=qprCkPMF4l9Keu_h

Hi Debra, I have a paddle plant that has a very long flower stalk. I have watched your videos of the care they require, but I'm still nervous about cutting this stalk. I'm ready to do it, but just wanted to ask you for some guidance. LOL! So, I cut the base of the stalk, but what do I do with the stalk? Should I cut it in many different pieces and plant them all? If so, where do I cut the stalk? Thanks so very much!

Hi Schoen -- A lot of the plant's energy has gone into the formation of a flower stalk, so the plant is less robust than if you had cut the stalk when it began to form. That said, it looks healthy and I would expect it to recover nicely and branch at the cut, wherever you do it. I'd probably cut it about half way up the total height of the plant (not counting the flower stalk). Cut right above where a pair of leaves emerge from the stalk. Be sure to protect leaves that are suddenly exposed to sun, so they don't burn. A lightweight dish towel laid over the plant will do it, or move it into dappled shade. Even so, you might get some withered tips, but that's normal. You also might get mini flower stalks at the cut, just pinch them out. As for the stalk you've cut off, you can take cuttings along it, right above each pair of leaves. Let them sit for a day to heal, then insert the cuttings into a pot of commercial potting soil, using their stalks as anchors. Roots (hopefully) will grow below the leaves, so their bottoms (where they emerge from the stalk) should be at soil level or just below. Hope this helps! LMK how the patient progresses.
