🪴 Welcome to the Plant Adoption Series at the KK Shop! 🪴
Here at the KK Shop, we cater to all plants and their needs—because our leafy, decorative friends deserve just as much love as the rest of our handmade creations.🌱
We’re proud to be licensed to sell houseplants in Maine, and every green babe in our shop is nurtured with care until they find their forever home. 🏡✨
To share the love, we’re starting a new series where we highlight one of our shop plants at a time—complete with a name, personality, and care tips—because they’re not just plants… they’re adoptable green friends. 💚
Let’s start with our most popular, talked about plant in our shop… known for his quick growth and overachievement…
🪴 Meet Ash — Sun Worshipper with Built-In Sunscreen ☀️🌿
This is Ash, a paddle plant with a serious sun obsession.
He lives for bright, direct sunlight—but like any responsible sunbather, he doesn’t go out unprotected. His silvery-white coating acts as a natural sunscreen, helping him reflect rays, hold in moisture, and ward off pests.
Ash was named for this powdery finish—it gives him a cool, frosted look while showing off how tough (and smart) he really is.
He’s also got a bit of a growth spurt going on… okay, a lot. Around here, we say Ash is trying to grow his way out of the shop. If you’re looking for a houseplant with a strong personality and a love for the spotlight, Ash is your guy.
📏 Size: Medium (but don’t blink)
☀️ Sunlight: Thrives in bright, direct light
💦 Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings
🧬 Species: Kalanchoe thyrsiflora (aka paddle plant, flapjacks or desert cabbage)
❤️ Personality: Bold, fast-growing, sun-loving
🏠 Available for adoption today!
Ash is ready to bring sunshine, charm, and some serious leaf game to your space. Could he be your next plant pal?
Come visit us to meet him in person — or shoot us a DM to adopt! 🌿
