Growing Tips for Paddle Plant (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora)
- When to Plant: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the last frost when temperatures consistently remain above 60°F (16°C).
- Soil Requirements: Plant in well-draining, sandy or gritty soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. Paddle Plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
- Planting Depth: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly. Do not cover, as Paddle Plant seeds require light to germinate.
- Sunlight: Place in a location with full sun to partial shade. Bright, indirect light is ideal indoors, while full sun will enhance the red edges of the leaves outdoors.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water sparingly. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum.
- Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for their rosette growth and airflow, preventing potential fungal issues.
Caring for Your Paddle Plant
- Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health. You can also remove the offsets that develop at the base to propagate new plants.
- Pest and Disease Resistance: Paddle Plant is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is dormant.
Design and Companion Planting Ideas
- Companion Planting: Paddle Plant pairs beautifully with other succulents like Echeveria, Aloe, and Sedum. Its bold form also complements ornamental grasses and flowering plants with contrasting textures.
- Garden Design: Use Paddle Plant as a focal point in rock gardens, xeriscapes, or mixed succulent arrangements. Its architectural form adds height and interest to container gardens and patio displays.

- Ornamental Beauty: Paddle Plant’s unique form and color make it a prized ornamental plant, perfect for adding a touch of modern elegance to any space.

Loaded with Information
Format: Paperback
Roberta Gilbert's overview of Murray Bowen's Family Systems Theory is a thorough introduction on how we build individuality through constant interaction. Although it takes a few chapters to understand the terminology ("anxiety", "differentiation", etc.), Gilbert pieces together the general concepts of Bowen's theory through analytical study and real world interpretation. The idea of triangulating and the importance of original family relationships stand out to me as the overwhelmingly important activities which many people don't think twice about. This isn't to discount other aspects of relationships- such as Overfunctioning/underfunctioning, conflict, distance, and cutoff- but these certainly stand out due to the attention Gilbert gives to them.
The one point that I disagree with (although Bowen would say I am in denial) is the urge to put yourself on a different emotional in any and all connections. I understand the benefits to this, but the idea that I would detach and remain coolly above all interactions between those closest to me strikes me as depressing. I feel differentiation and togetherness (which he calls "fusion") do not have to be mutually exclusive. This critique is grounded in pure opinion. My critique from an analytical perspective centers on her ignorance, which could even be called contempt, of love in a relationship. Her rudimentary overview of love in relationships places it neatly in a box next to cutoff, triangulating, and other day-to-day activities. I don't see myself as a hopeless romantic, but the unique attributes of love is noted near unanimously. Viktor Frankl, a noted psychologist himself, wrote about it in his excellent book "Man's Search for Meaning".
Nevertheless, I recommend Extraordinary Relationships for those who really want to dig into ways of improving themselves and the relationships around them. Although the concepts might be a little narrow, the general Bowen Family Theory idea should not be ignored.

A bit repetitive
Format: Paperback
The Family Systems approach makes a great deal of sense and is very helpful. But this book seems to be somewhat formulaic - every case looks the same.
