Growing Tips for Paddle Plant (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora)
- When to Plant: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the last frost when temperatures consistently remain above 60°F (16°C).
- Soil Requirements: Plant in well-draining, sandy or gritty soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. Paddle Plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
- Planting Depth: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly. Do not cover, as Paddle Plant seeds require light to germinate.
- Sunlight: Place in a location with full sun to partial shade. Bright, indirect light is ideal indoors, while full sun will enhance the red edges of the leaves outdoors.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water sparingly. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum.
- Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for their rosette growth and airflow, preventing potential fungal issues.
Caring for Your Paddle Plant
- Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health. You can also remove the offsets that develop at the base to propagate new plants.
- Pest and Disease Resistance: Paddle Plant is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is dormant.
Design and Companion Planting Ideas
- Companion Planting: Paddle Plant pairs beautifully with other succulents like Echeveria, Aloe, and Sedum. Its bold form also complements ornamental grasses and flowering plants with contrasting textures.
- Garden Design: Use Paddle Plant as a focal point in rock gardens, xeriscapes, or mixed succulent arrangements. Its architectural form adds height and interest to container gardens and patio displays.

- Ornamental Beauty: Paddle Plant’s unique form and color make it a prized ornamental plant, perfect for adding a touch of modern elegance to any space.

Needs to be warmed, but works great for quick face re-application
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I love mineral sunscreen, it really works the best. But I also do not love mineral sunscreen because it's hard to apply. I don't think it matters what you do, they're just always difficult to apply and always leaving the white. This one isn't much different.
I'm a scuba diver and my face sunscreen is washed off quickly doing multiple dives. I also get a weird "mask sunburn" if I don't reapply... but since I'm a diver I can't bring myself to buy or wear sunscreen that's not reef safe into the ocean. I was unsure if this would work because it's pretty solid. I threw it in my bag and once the sun warmed it up a little, I was able to apply it fairly easily between dives. I don't think it works unless it's warmed a bit first, but I like it for this purpose.

I Wanted to Like It
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like it because of the great reviews it gets with backpackers and generally with people that don't like "greasy hands syndrome" after applying sunscreen. But after using a stick I found that it's just not that good.
The good: small, lightweight container. Not greasy. Good protection, I was in the sun all day hiking multiple days straight and only put on sunscreen twice per day and I didn't have any burning... and I burn easily.
The bad:
Value: the $12.53 sunscreen container only lasted about 8 days. And that was just my arms, neck, and half my face since I wore a shirt and long pants and a wide brim hat every day when hiking. I would expect this amount of sunscreen to last a lot longer than that on such a limited area. I'm not a big person either.
Application, chafing: it's the opposite of greasy, almost chalky. You use the stick to apply to your skin in stripes, then you have to "blend it in" by rubbing with the backs of your hands so your palms don't get chalky. Since the stick is so dry this requires a fair amount of force and it chafes as you rub it around. When your skin a bit sandy it hurts.
Application, crumbling: on a chilly but sunny morning, about 45 F, I applied sunscreen and small chunks of the stick crumbled off. I watched precious chunks of the already overpriced sunscreen drop to the ground.
Residue: while it's not greasy, it's physical sunblock so it gives your skin the characteristic whitish sparkle. That's to be expected. But what I didn't foresee is it will rub off on anything your skin touches. My gear had white chalk-like marks (technically titania powder?) on my shirt collars, backpack straps, sunglasses, and a few other high-touch items.
Overall I think it's a neat idea. I'm not overly disappointed with my purchase. But for $12.50 I expect sunscreen to be easier to apply and for the container to last longer than about 8 days. I can't burn $50/month in the summer months when a single container of chemical sunscreen will do the job.
Pro tip: you can buy food-safe 3 oz TSA travel containers. Load one of those up with chemical sunscreen and you have something that beats this in every way except for the greasiness, which you can mitigate by picking a lower SPF sunscreen (the 30 SPF you wear is infinitely better than the 50 SPF you skip!).

Light and simple
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 2), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Absolutely love this sunscreen! It offers great coverage without feeling heavy or sticky. It absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast, and held up beautifully during long days in the sun. This has become a staple in our family.
Hands down the best sunscreen! Lightweight, effective, and comfortable enough to wear all day. It protected our skin even during hours of outdoor sports and activities. I'll definitely be purchasing again! ☀️🧴💛
