Kalanchoe marnieriana, also known as Marnier’s Kalanchoe or Paddle Plant, is a distinctive and attractive succulent. Here’s a comprehensive overview of this plant:

• Appearance:
  • Leaves: The plant features large, fleshy, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette formation. The leaves are typically green with a powdery, waxy coating and can have reddish or purple edges, especially when exposed to bright sunlight.
  • Size: The rosettes can grow up to 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) in height and width, with the leaves arranged densely around the central stem.
• Growth:
  • Shape: Kalanchoe marnieriana grows in a compact rosette shape. It produces offsets or “pups” at the base, which can form dense clusters over time.
  • Rate: The plant has a slow to moderate growth rate and maintains its compact form.
• Flowers:
  • Blooming Period: It typically blooms in winter or early spring.
  • Flowers: The flowers are small, tubular, and appear on tall, slender stalks. They are usually pink or coral-colored, providing a lovely contrast to the plant’s foliage.
• Care:
  • Light: It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Adequate light helps maintain the plant’s color and shape.
  • Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
  • Watering: Water when the soil is completely dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is less active.
  • Temperature: Kalanchoe marnieriana prefers warmer temperatures and is sensitive to frost. Protect it from cold temperatures and ensure it is kept in a warm environment.
• Propagation:
  • Offsets: Separate offsets or “pups” from the main plant and pot them up.
  • Leaf Cuttings: Allow the leaf cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil.

Kalanchoe marnieriana is appreciated for its unique leaf shape and attractive appearance, making it a popular choice for succulent collections and indoor gardening.
