Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', a captivating cultivar of the Panda Plant family, is a perennial succulent that boasts a unique aesthetic appeal with its velvety, chocolate-edged leaves. Originating from the nursery rather than the wild, this plant brings the exotic allure of Madagascar's arid regions to your home or garden. It typically grows into an upright small shrub, reaching heights of 35-45 cm, and occasionally even up to 1 m under optimal conditions, making it a splendid choice for both indoor and outdoor succulent collections in Australia.

The 'Chocolate Soldier' is distinguished by its dense, white, felt-like hairs that envelop the entire leaf, creating a soft, plush texture. The edges of the leaves are adorned with rich, chocolate-coloured hairs, adding to its decorative charm. This plant is not just admired for its foliage; it also produces small, bell-shaped flowers that are both furry and vibrantly golden ginger in colour, adding a subtle yet striking contrast to its foliage during the blooming season.

Adaptability is a key trait of the Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', thriving in well-draining soil and requiring minimal water. This drought-tolerant succulent prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade, making it suitable for various gardening spaces. With a preference for temperatures between 18-24°C, it aligns well with most Australian climates, particularly in regions that mimic its native habitat's arid conditions.

For gardeners and succulent enthusiasts looking to diversify their collection, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' presents an excellent option. Its ease of care, combined with its distinctive appearance, makes it a delightful addition to any plant collection. Beyond its visual appeal, the 'Chocolate Soldier' cultivar shares the resilience and low-maintenance qualities of the broader Kalanchoe genus, making it a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Expanding on the diverse range of Kalanchoe tomentosa cultivars, each variant brings its own unique flair to the succulent world, making them all worthy additions to any garden or indoor collection. Starting with the original Kalanchoe tomentosa, commonly known as the Panda Plant, this species is celebrated for its soft, velvety leaves that boast a plush, greyish-green hue with chocolate-brown edges. It's the foundation upon which the other cultivars have been developed, offering a mix of resilience and aesthetic appeal that has made it a favorite among gardeners and succulent enthusiasts.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' stands out with its more pronounced chocolate-colored edging and a denser, fur-like texture that covers its leaves, evoking the image of a cuddly teddy bear. This cultivar tends to grow a bit faster and with a more clumping habit than its original counterpart, making it a striking feature in any collection.

For those who prefer a lighter touch, Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Golden Girl' introduces a variation with lighter, almost golden-green foliage that shines under the sunlight. This cultivar adds a bright, cheerful element to the succulent garden, contrasting nicely against the darker hues of its siblings.

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Dorothy Brown' is another noteworthy variant, admired for its rich brown and sometimes reddish coloring. The leaves of 'Dorothy Brown' have a distinctive appeal, with their color intensity adding a warm, earthy tone to the succulent display.

Last but certainly not least, the 'Teddy Bear' cultivar shares similar coloration to the original Panda Plant but boasts a more compact growth habit, making it ideal for smaller spaces or as part of a succulent arrangement where every inch counts.

Together, these hybrids and cultivars of Kalanchoe tomentosa create a captivating palette of colors and textures. From the soft, greyish-green of the original Panda Plant to the deep, rich tones of 'Dorothy Brown', there's a variant to suit every taste and garden theme. Incorporating any of these succulents into your collection not only enhances its visual diversity but also brings a piece of Madagascar's unique landscape into your home.

Color-treated hair that looks fabulous!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I received a small sample of this shampoo as part of a Whole Foods 12 Days of Beauty holiday promotion. Normally those boxes are loaded with third-rate products the store is trying to promote. Well, not this time. I was desperate to find a shampoo that would clean my color-treated but very, very fine hair without stripping the color or weighing it down with far too much moisture - bordering on greasy. This shampoo has really been a game changer for me (going grey or shaving my head were considerations). It gently cleans my hair (and scalp) with no down-side results, and smells divine. My hair looks healthy & fluffy (no greasiness!) all day long and even into the following day. Added bonus - genuine shine. I must add that I have pretty short hair so I honestly don’t need much to clean me up, although I do wash it daily. The amount in the carton is smaller than a lot of brands out there but, in my situation, I feel I am getting value for my money. My expensive dye-job looks awesome every single day - so you’ve gotta weigh your choices. It’s working well for me and it just might be a solution for you but you won’t know unless you try it.

Nourishing mango & hibiscus - LOVE!!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a clean nontoxic alternative to my usually shampoo and conditioner. I’ve alternated around between the expensive salon-grade and Sephora products for the past 10 years. I thought I’d give Babo’s new shampoo and conditioner a try because I love the body wash. I love this stuff! It makes my hair so clean and soft. For reference, my hair type is straight and fine, but I have a lot of hair. I’m brunette and haven’t colored it in over a year. I noticed the shampoo doesn’t foam up as much as other shampoos I use, but my hair still comes out clean and I can usually go 5 days between shampooing again (I double shampoo my roots which helps). I also noticed the conditioner is a little more on the milkier/thinner side, which makes sense for the products to have more flow to them because they are in cartons meant to pour. I still use my usual leave-in conditioner spray and some hair oil after I wash and it all works great together. Overall I love the shampoo + conditioner, they smell great, they cost less than my usual products and they’re clean ingredients so it’s a win win. Worth a try!

Great product
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Excellent product. It's very gentle on your hair, even if used in hard water. It's over priced though, and there isn't very much in the container.

Horrible packaging, not recommended
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I didn’t see any positive or negative results, but main concern is packaging. Car board box is absolutely horrible idea for this kind of product, you will have zero control or idea how much you are going to poor to your hand, you can’t use refill bottles with pumps, because you have to shake it every time before use. Wouldn’t recommend to nobody, maybe it’s very healthy and good for hair but putting it in this box is terrible idea. Only good thing is smells okay, but they all smell good. And you can’t even return like this thing so waste of money. It spills everywhere, and if you drop or loose the cap you can’t even shake properly anymore.
