Kalanchoe thyrsiflora Size:M The firm blades carry visibleKalanchoe thyrsiflora Broad, fleshy leaves gather tightly around a central growing point to form a low rosette. Their rounded ends overlap like a stack of broad paddles, and the surfaces may combine green, grey and red with a pale waxy bloom. Older plants may produce offsets around the base. These develop into smaller rosettes beside the original, so a mature plant can carry several sizes of paddle shaped leaves within one clump.
