If you are looking for a unique and low-maintenance succulent plant to add to your collection? Then, look no further than the Propeller plant - known as Crassula falcata (or Crassula Perfoliata var. falcata)! Thisunbranched succulent belongs to theCrassulaceaefamily and has its origin in South Africa. 

This Crassula falcata gets its common name, "propeller plant," from the distinct shape of its leaves, which resemble the blades of a propeller. It is also known as the airplane plant, distinguished by its propeller-shaped leaves, which give it a realistic appearance of taking off. These grey-green leaves with reddish edges are thick, triangular, and curved, which can become more pronounced as the plant grows in plenty of sunlight. It grows as a compact shrub, often reaching a height of 12 inches. 

The flowering of the propeller plant begins from late spring to early summer. Once fully bloomed, the star-shaped bright orange-red flowers easily last up to a month. The propeller crassula is easy to bloom but needs cooler conditions to encourage flowering in the summer months. Propeller succulents have a medium growth rate.  

To propagate Crassula falcata from stem or leaf cuttings during the spring or late summer of the season; is the best approach to grow healthy propeller Crassula from the mother plant. Additionally, offsets Crassula falcata will self-propagate, growing offsets. This summer dormant plant can be easily propagated and is one of the few succulents that grows well indoors. 

The propeller plant (Crassula falcata) is considered friendly to both humans and pets. So, you don't have to worry about any major toxicity issues with this propeller succulent.

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering the Crassula falcata propeller plant, it's important to strike the right balance. This succulent doesn't like to be overwatered, as it can lead to root rot and other issues.  

The propeller plant prefers a "soak and dry" watering method. This means that you should thoroughly water your propeller plant, allowing the water to flow out of the drainage holes, and then wait for the soil to dry out completely before watering again. It's crucial to avoid letting the succulent sit in standing water, as this can cause root rot. During the hottest months of the year (summer), your plant may enter a dormant growth phase, which means its water requirements will be lower than usual.   

Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater this succulent. If you're unsure whether it needs watering, it's best to err on the side of caution and wait for the soil to dry out before giving it a drink. Observing the plant and checking the moisture level of the soil will help you determine the watering needs more accurately. 

Light Requirements 

For the best growth, this propeller plant should be exposed to full sun to partial sun. If growing indoors, it prefers a spot where it can get a good amount of bright, indirect sunlight, but not direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room would be ideal. 

If you notice that the leaves of your propeller plant are stretching or leaning toward the light source, it's a sign that it needs more bright sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key. You want to provide enough light for your propeller plant to grow and thrive, but also protect it from intense, direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Crassula falcatagrows healthily in well-drained soil. Use a well-drained specialty soil mix, as this type of potting soil mix has been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and accessible online. Here at Planet Desert, we have a specialty-formulated succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your propeller plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, the propeller plant doesn't require heavy feeding. You can use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated. During the growing season (spring), fertilize your plant once a year. It's important not to over-fertilize your propeller plant, as this can cause excessive growth and weaken the plant. Always err on the side of caution and use a little less fertilizer than recommended, especially if your plant is in a small pot. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Crassula falcata propeller plant is native to South Africa; it is not cold hardy in general, but it can be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. However, it is important to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures, as they can damage or kill the plant. 

In terms of humidity, the propeller plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in average indoor humidity, but it also does well in drier conditions. However, it's important to note that excessively dry air can cause the leaves to shrivel, so it's a good idea to provide some moisture through occasional misting or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. 

Remember, providing the right temperature and humidity conditions can help your propeller plant thrive and stay healthy. 

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for an easy Crassula falcata propeller plant to care for!

A Disconnected and Legally Shaky Defense of Racial Preferences
Format: Paperback
While this book raises some thought-provoking points, it ultimately reads like a product of self-righteous elites disconnected from reality and from the American public. 1. Ignores public opinion. The author never acknowledges that polls consistently show Americans oppose racial preferences in college admissions. Proposition 16—which would have allowed such preferences—was defeated by a wide margin in 2020 in California, one of the nation’s most liberal states. A Brookings poll found that virtually all racial groups, including Black respondents, supported the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) decision. 2. Starts with a strange premise. The first chapter claims conservatives will “regret” the SFFA ruling because universities will continue racial preferences covertly. But that sidesteps the real question: why shouldn’t colleges comply with the ruling’s letter and spirit? 3. Offers dubious legal advice. In Chapter Three, the author—himself a law professor—floats risky ideas for “working around” the Supreme Court’s decision. Many of these suggestions rest on shaky legal ground, as anyone familiar with the Second Circuit’s CACAGNY v. Adams, 116 F.4th 161 (2d Cir. 2024), would recognize. 4. Ignores proportionality and real-world outcomes. The book argues for “diversity” preferences without asking how much preference is justified. In reality, Asian American applicants face steep penalties. e.g. Stanley Zhong was rejected by five University of California campuses’ Computer Science programs as an in-state applicant—shortly before Google hired him for a full-time, Ph.D.-level software engineering position. Meanwhile, UC San Diego’s own freshman math-placement data show a surge of students—mostly “underrepresented minorities” favored by UC—placed into remedial courses, some testing at a 4th-grade level. It is hard to see how admitting these students is helping them other than allowing some elites to make themselves feel good or get a promotion. If this book represents what passes for legal scholarship at Yale, the state of American legal education should worry us all.

Adherence to the Rule of Law Must Not Become a Fair Weather Sport
Format: Paperback
The memorable quotation I have used for the title of this review comes from the second chapter (I think) of "The Fall of Affirmative Action." What is actually happening in the United States is that the law is being enforced rigorously against "enemy" institutions such as those of higher learning and not at all against those with power, money, or affinity for same. The author, an African-American Yale Law professor, devotes his first chapter to the ways in which conservatives might critique the SCOTUS precedent that ended affirmative action and his second to the ways in which liberals might critique it. His most invaluable contribution to the debate is that civil rights can be advocated from an anti-classification standpoint or an anti-subordination standpoint, with anti-subordinationists on both sides of the affirmative action debate. This forced me to take perhaps a harder look at my own beliefs than most books or articles about affirmative action. African-Americans are certainly subordinated in reality by being excluded from higher education but they are subordinated mostly in the minds of white Americans by the fact that a white applicant with the same scores, extracurriculars and admission essays might not get in. That at least is the conclusion I have come to. "Students for Fair Admissions," the organization that brought down affirmative action before SCOTUS, has now sued those few elite educational institutions that DIDN'T see sharp drops in their African-American enrollment. One strongly suspects that SFFA if not the "Justices" they persuaded will be happy only with a formal quota for African-Americans which is half or less their proportion in the population of the state where the institution is located.

Provocative and fascinating read
Format: Paperback
Justin Driver's excellent book makes the case that conservatives may come to regret the Supreme Court's 2023 decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions. He argues that, rather than simply check a box to indicate their race, the decision will force non-white applicants to "perform their trauma" in application essays in ways that conservatives may find even more corrosive. And affluent non-white candidates--the people conservatives say should not be benefiting from affirmative action--will be the ones best-positioned to take advantage of the opportunity, since they are most equipped to exploit the loopholes and work-arounds that the Roberts decision created. A truly provocative read.

A Powerful and Timely Book about Fairness and Equality in America
Format: Kindle
This book is beautifully written and deeply engaging. As a non-lawyer, I appreciated the author's ability to cut through legal abstraction to reveal what is truly at stake as the Supreme Court turns away from policies designed to expand opportunity. Driver writes, with clarity and conviction, that genuine equality demands more than the pretense that race no longer matters. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking work that reminds us the pursuit of fairness in America remains unfinished.
