The Prayer Plant is a foliage dicot with oval leaves that have darker patches on either side of the midrib, and sometimes red veins. The newest leaf is rolled up and leaves may fold slightly at night. It likes medium light and to be kept warm and moist, almost like an African Violet. Potential problems include brown tips if too dry, rotting if too wet, and spider mites.
Plumosus Asparagus Show
Plumosus asparagus is a monocot plant with multiple needle-like, fuzzy leaves arranged in whorls on stems that grow up to 2 feet tall and bend horizontally. It needs bright indirect light, moist soil, and division for propagation, and its main problem is underwatering.
Red Edge Dracaena Show
This document provides information about the Red Edge Dracaena plant. It is a monocot foliage plant with long, narrow leaves arranged alternately with a distinctive red edge. It has a grey stem marked with leaf scars. It should be watered after the soil dries out and grown in medium light conditions like an east window. It can be propagated through stem cuttings or air layering. It is often grouped with other sized plants in one pot and its stems can be braided. Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.
Peace Lily Show
The Peace Lily is an easy to care for foliage plant with long drooping leaves that appear whorled around a low, compact stem. It produces white spadix flowers and thrives with little light and care indoors, making it one of the best low light plants. Potential issues include scale insects.
Norfolk Show
The document summarizes information about the Norfolk Island Pine plant. It is a conifer that reproduces through cones and has a woody stem and needles. It has reverse apical dominance so it is wider at the top. It prefers medium to bright light and needs good drainage, not being too wet or dry. It can become large and fill a large area when mature.
Norfolk Island Show
The document summarizes information about the Norfolk Island Pine plant. It is a conifer that reproduces through cones and has a woody stem and needles. It prefers medium to bright light from a south or west window, and needs good drainage as it can show symptoms of over- or underwatering. The Norfolk Island Pine is the only conifer on the fall plant list and has a wider canopy at the top in a reverse apical dominance pattern.
Nephthytis Show
Nephthytis, also known as Trileaf Wonder or Syngonium podophyllum, is a dicot foliage plant commonly grown as a hanging basket or potted plant. It has arrow-shaped leaves that are sometimes divided into three lobes and may be variegated white or pink. The plant should be allowed to dry between waterings with bright, filtered light and can be propagated through stem cuttings.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
