Introducing the Variegated Paddle Plant, known as Kalanchoe luciae 'Fantastic,' which is the vibrant variety of the KalanchoeGo to search-results-page?q=Kalanchoe genus. Some people describe its variegated leaves as paddle-like, with yellow edges that are almost round in shape and concave, hence the common name (Paddle plant), but we think "fantastic" really sums it up. This Kalanchoe plant is an absolute stunner!  


This kalanchoe succulent forms compact basal rosettes of broad gray-green leaves with irregular pale-yellow stripes and reddish tints near the undulate margins.

The rosettes grow up to 6 inches tall and up to 10 inches in diameter.

The kalanchoe plant gets more intense hues in cooler temperatures, so it's perfect for your office or home during winter. Additionally, it is known for its air-purifying qualities, improving the overall air quality in your environment.

The flowers of variegated paddle plants are pale yellow urn-shaped and appear in clusters from late winter into early spring. This stunning kalanchoe plant can be easily propagated by seeds and cuttings. 

Just keep in mind that this Kalanchoe is monocarpic, which means after flowering it starts to die after blooming, which can take several years. 

The Kalanchoe thyrsiflora and Kalanchoe luciae are often confused with each other due to their similar appearance. However, they are two different species of succulent plants with slight differences in leaf shape and flower color. Another Kalanchoe succulent type is Kalanchoe luciae Fantastic Crested, which has more wavy leaves that are similar in color to Kalanchoe Fantastic but are arranged in a rosette that is more compact and tightly clustered than the Fantastic. 

When and How to Water Variegated Paddle Plant

Often, people worry they aren't giving their plants enough water when in reality, they are over-watering them. This is especially the case with these kalanchoe succulents as they don't do well in moist soil, which can result in root rot.  

It's best to wait until the top two inches of soil are completely dry before watering. Watch out for signs of dehydration, such as a pale discoloration and shriveled stem, indicating that the succulent is consuming its interior water supply.  

Besides hydrating correctly, it's also crucial to ensure that the potting soil drains quickly to avoid damaging the succulent roots. As drought-tolerant plants, this variegated paddle plant can thrive with less frequent watering during drought periods in winter, and if you forget to water them for a month or more, they will probably survive just fine. It is better to underwater than overwater this kalanchoe paddle plant, as it is susceptible to root rot and fungal diseases. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Kalanchoe luciae 'Fantastic'

When grown indoors, place it in the sunniest place in your house. This kalanchoe succulent may benefit from shade in consistently hot climates. It is ideal to grow this succulent in a west- or a few feet away from a south-facing window.

For outdoor cultivation, the kalanchoe plants love a lot of sunlight to thrive and bloom, but it's important that the light isn't too intense.

If these paddle plants are placed in direct sunlight for too long, it can damage or even kill this vibrant beauty. 

It can flourish in hot and sunny conditions, requiring a minimum of 5-6 hours of bright, indirect light daily. Too little light can cause discoloration and an abnormal appearance, as well as limit its growth.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The variegated kalanchoe prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system and help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

When it comes to fertilizing your paddle plant, remember that less is more. A small amount of fertilizer with a balanced mixture of NPK (5-10-5) once a year in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a natural fertilizer ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your paddle plant some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive. 

Hardiness Zones & More

When grown indoors, this paddle plant thrives best at 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.  It's important to keep it in a warm environment and away from cold drafts.

For outdoor cultivation, it thrives best in USDA zones 9 and 11. If you live in a colder climate, you should put them in a pot, and they can then be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops.  

Although the Kalanchoe luciae fantastic's colors may become more intense during cooler temperatures, it is still a tropical plant that is sensitive to cold.  

Exposure to temperatures below 35 F can cause damage to the succulent, such as leaf drop, or even kill the plant. If you are unable to bring your Kalanchoe Fantastic inside, you can protect it from the cold by wrapping a frost cloth around it.

Not good use of time
Format: Paperback
It’s not clear who this book targets - neither experts nor novice will benefit. There are expert perspectives, only few of these are helpful, rest are too generic to be of any use. For instance the last entry is one an engineer who shares how she went from zero to expert in cloud engineering in six months but fails to mention a single resource or pathway for others to follow.

Uneven compendium of tips and insights, but still very useful
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not" is why such bottom-up insights and lessons from the field are the fastest way to learn real life stuff. This series had a GREAT start with "Engineering Management" - I guess because it is way more subjective than Cloud Engineering and offered a variety of non-overlapping POVs. This one is a mixed bag, perhaps because "Cloud Engineering" was perceived amorphously by the authors. The scope was broad - from cloud-native (architecture), to cloud-ready (topology), to cloud-operations, to choosing tech (e.g., Lambda/serverless), to -ilities and economics -- it is like celebrating Halloween, Christmas and Labor Day together in a single long weekend. I would give it 4/+ stars if at least 25% of such a book was "superb", giving 3 because about 10% of the book is. That still leaves 10 solid insights or learning that would otherwise take many failures to learn. And failures, especially in this emerging domain of complexity, is VERY expensive. Would love to see more books like this. Let's summarize some key insights - -- Real-time visibility across the entire DevOps lifecycle is key to winning in cloud. -- Operations, especially operations at scale, is extremely hard. So, wherever possible, use Managed Services. -- Distinguish between "availability" and "uptime" and measure each separately, and concretely. -- In FaaS/Serverless, calling a function synchronously increases debugging complexity. -- Good code is like good joke - it needs no explanation. -- "Building your app or platform on top of the abstractions that a cloud provider gives you does not make the underlying layers stop existing. In many cases, it makes them even more important." That makes the failure modes LESS obvious than we were used to. Therefore having "extreme visibility" into your systems will help "separate the issues at the layer you're focused on from the fundamental system issues". i.e., just because what was under the hood is now even less visible, don't forget them. Many recent "cloud failures" have been in networking fault domains. -- Cloud is not optimized for replacing static infrastructures. -- Containers, service meshes and serverless jumpstart dev productivity but they also change the attack surface of apps and infra. -- "Number of containers that are alive for 10 sec or less has doubled to 22%". 73% of all containers live for 30 minutes or less. -- Adopt an "assume breach" stance for everything. Have a break-glass account. -- Ensure you have a thorough understanding of where and how secrets are secured. -- Grey failures (transient degradation of services) are often worse than complete crashes, since the latter have a short feedback loop. -- Resilience engineering has existed as a sub-discipline within safety sciences. We just recently started applying its concepts in technology. Resilience can be thought of as a "socio-technical system" with Robustness ("system X has property Y that is robust in sense Z to perturbation W"); Reliability (consistent operations or service levels); Rebound (ability to deal with a chaotic situation using structures developed AND deployed BEFORE the chaos). In other words, robustness protects systems against a SPECIFIC type of failure mode. When a system is robust in many dimensions, it approaches good resilience to failure. -- Resilience is something you "do", not something you "have". Resilience is a verb. -- Moving from one class of nines to the next is 10 times more expensive. -- Production System really means "system that someone else, anyone else, can hold you accountable for". -- Most common theme across incidents is that something, somewhere was surprising. -- Incidents are unplanned investments...your challenge is to maximize ROI. -- We used to think of scale in two dimensions - horizontal (more) and vertical (bigger). In cloud, think of "scale out" (when demands increase) and "scale in" (when demand decreases). -- Architecture diagram is also a map of failure modes. -- Async communication is a friend of Cloud Reliability. -- Test in production is a competitive advantage. The complexity of traffic patterns going through high-scale production systems is increasingly harder to reproduce in a controlled env. -- Hundreds of open issues is fine, but if the repo has gone months (or, years!) without a release, THAT is a warning sign. -- It is hard to write good tests for bad code. -- Platforms come and go. But first principles and patterns will always exist, because they are the ones and zeros.

Shallow, biased and significantly overpriced
Format: Paperback
Well, this purchase was a disappointment. 20% of the pages are dedicated to just highlighting the bios and backgrounds of the many different authors that contributed this great wisdom. And let me be clear, the authors are solid. They are professionals with credible backgrounds and experience. But it's the format and constraints of this book that makes it virtually impossible for that to shine through. Because the rest of the book (80%) is dedicated to the so called "97 things every cloud engineer should know". And unfortunately the average length of one of these "things" is about 1.5 pages long, and as such extremely shallow and in about 30% of the cases straight up promotions for specific company services. You will find Google cloud advocates telling you to use managed services, of Google of course. AWS engineers telling you to avoid them and use IaaS. LaunchDarkly employees telling you to use feature flags. The list goes on. The TL;DR: here is that if you have built anything on the cloud in the last 2 years, this book is going to be a waste of your time and money. You are better of googling: "cloud best practices" and dedicating 2h to reading the first 10 non-ad related search results.

Improve Your Relationships
Format: Kindle
In Relationship Goals, Michael Todd has written a book that discussed marriage, dating, and even singleness to help us to grow in our relationships. He wants to help readers to win in relationships and he encouraged us to read the Bible and set goals to improve our relationships. Godly relationships consist of sacrificing for others, displaying kindness, integrity, forgiving others, and loving others. Scriptures declare that we must first love God with all our heart, soul, and mind see Matthew 22:37-38. We are also called to love our neighbors as ourselves (verse 39). He explained how we are supposed to have good relationships with others even if you are introverted. One of the keys, he uses is asking himself does this relationship help me. When we meet the right person, they will help us toward our purpose in life and they will believe in us and love us and they will fit. But if they are moving you away from God, run. He shared how he met his wife when he was 15 years old at a mutual friend’s birthday party. He did everything to make sure she noticed him. This led to a spark and they dated for 8 years except when they experienced an 8-month breakup and he explained what happened. They eventually reconnected and got married in 2010. I liked how he talked about lot about singleness and how in this time of our life could be the most important time. The reason why is because it’s a time we can focus on what God wants to reveal to us about ourselves and who we are. We are become self-aware and find purpose. This can help us to become whole before we commit to someone else. This is a critical time to heal from our past pains and deal with our fears. You can use this time to get closer to God and getting to know Him. I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is ready to improve their relationships it doesn’t have to be just romantic relationships. The same principles can apply to friendships. This book is a very well written book about dating and marriage and how we can change the scope of our relationship. I also liked how he explored the important keys to having a good marriage and what men need and what women needs and the differences. He tries to assist readers in understand each other in marriage and I believe if readers really tried to work on these lessons, they would be less divorce and our marriages would be a stronger example to our children. This book is an awesome book for couples to read and reflect on.
