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.

You don't have to like Justice Scalia to like his book.
Perhaps an appellate brief that you wrote would have been perfect if only the judge had read it. The lesson you learned, hopefully, was that there is no guarantee that a judge will read your brief. The lesson you can learn from "Making Your Case" is how to write so that the judges will read what you wrote - preferably before your oral argument. Writing in a quite candid, lucid and entertaining style, Scalia and Garner serve up tips that even the most experienced lawyers can learn from. If you find yourself approaching the court's word limit, for example, you may be minimizing the chances of having your brief read, as judges really do favor brevity. How do you write for a court that is notoriously dismissive of higher court precedents? How do you best respond to a judge who asks whether you would be content with a remand? These and other critical questions are addressed simply yet insightfully. If your legal education stressed the IRAC approach (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion), Scalia and Garner take you a step further by stressing a syllogistic approach. Even if you have already been exposed to all the best ideas about persuading appellate judges, you are still likely to gain much rom reading "Making Your Case" because the authors organize all those ideas in a way that makes them much easier to remember and keep them in mind as you prepare your written and oral arguments. Justice Scalia calls his approach to legal reasoning and argument "textualism," which I understand to mean that his decisions are driven by the language of the law and of the case. My impression from reading many of his decisions is that he is often driven by ideology, so I can't quite square his book with his decisions. I also question the book's fundamental statement that the overriding objective of a brief is to make the court's job easier, as I prefer to write primarily for the purpose of winning the case. My criticisms of "Making Your Case" are miniscule compared to those thrown at it by Richard Posner. But although I find Judge Posner's decisions generally more fair than those of Justice Scalia, I prefer the clarity of Justice Scalia's writing - especially when he teams up with Bryan Garmer. Judge Posner notwithstanding, Scalia and Garner have put together a gem that is likely to prove invaluable for law students as well as for trial and appellate lawyers who are still interested in improving their game. If you fall into either category, buy this book, read it two or three times, and then keep it handy as a reference. It should help you make your case.

Elegant, useful
Simply the best book on legal persuasive writing ever written. Interesting, useful, fun, full of great anecdotes. Terrific discussion of statutory interpretation. Great references to scholarly classical treatises on rhetoric. This book is wonderful both for its analysis of oral argument and for its discussion of written forms of persuasion, like briefs. I wish I had had it earlier. My only complaint is the same one I have with virtually all modern style manuals: they advocate a simplistic prose style, characterized by short, conversational sentences, avoiding unusual words, eschewing Latin phrases. But I personally often find prose that breaks these rules a refreshing change. I enjoy reading a word or phrase I rarely see but that is perfectly chosen. And I enjoy learning new words or phrases. This book would condemn two of the greatest legal prose stylists out there: John Marshall and Learned Hand, both of whose opinions often contained sentences that would not work so well conversationally, that were full of long, convoluted sentences and classical allusions. My sense is that in this joint work Justice Scalia, who can write rich and interesting prose, pushed back against some of the simplifying strictures of his co-author. Furthermore, I think that often too much emphasis on simple words and sentences serves to make more complex ideas too difficult to express or to understand. Thus, the book (like most books) argues against "jargon," but jargon, once learned, is often a much clearer way of expressing something than a rephrasing. And the Roe v. Wade anecdote is great! It explains a lot... In any case, I am hardly qualified to criticize Justice Scalia, whose writing is far beyond my own. Anyway, this is a great book.

Wonderful and useful book.
Format: Kindle
I am very glad I purchased this book. I used it over and over again. Wrote many notes and it added much value to pursue my cases at courts. This is a true asset for providing an overall overview with much advice. I also purchased his other book The Winning Brief, but that is only available in paper format and it is mainly for linguistic help in writing briefs for appellate court, for the purpose of really perfecting your writing. At lower courts or supreme courts you just do not have the time to think in that much details and these courts may not even read it. You are lucky if you can say two sentences on court appearances. They do not put that much into details when making judgments, so most likely your case ends up in the appellate, and here that book becomes valuable too - The Winning Brief. Again, this book really excellent and pleasant to read. The Kindle version was easy to search for anything, word, phrase, notes. 5 star book. THANKS.
