The Buddha Belly Plant (Jatropha podagrica), also known as "Gout Plant," "Bottle Plant," or "Nettle Spurge," is an intriguing succulent known for its swollen, belly-like stem and vibrant red or coral flowers. It's a relatively easy plant to grow, especially for those who enjoy cultivating unique and unusual plants.

Climate and Growing Zones

- USDA Hardiness Zones: The Buddha Belly Plant is best suited for USDA zones 9-11. In these zones, it can be grown outdoors year-round. In cooler climates, it’s typically grown as a houseplant or in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter.

- Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Light Requirements

- Indoors: Place the Buddha Belly Plant in a location with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning, but too much direct sun can scorch its leaves.

- Outdoors: If grown outdoors, choose a spot with full sun to partial shade. It thrives with a few hours of direct sunlight, preferably in the morning or late afternoon.

Soil Requirements

- The Buddha Belly Plant prefers well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. You can also mix regular potting soil with sand or perlite to improve drainage.

Watering

- Indoors: Water the plant when the top 1-2 Inches of soil feel dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently but always allow the soil to dry out between waterings. In the winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant enters a dormant period and requires less moisture.

- Outdoors: Water deeply but infrequently. Like most succulents, the Buddha Belly Plant is drought-tolerant and does not like to sit in waterlogged soil.

Humidity

- The Buddha Belly Plant is not fussy about humidity and can adapt to the average indoor humidity levels. It does well in both dry and moderately humid environments.

Fertilization

- Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season. Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant is dormant.

 Pruning and Maintenance

- Pruning: The plant doesn’t require much pruning, but you can remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its appearance. If it  becomes leggy, you can trim back the stems to encourage bushier growth.

- Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, and ensure it has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Pests and Diseases

- The Buddha Belly Plant is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

- Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

Additional Tips

- Container Growing: The Buddha Belly Plant grows well in containers, making it a great choice for patios, balconies, or indoor spaces. Choose a pot with drainage holes, and avoid over-potting, as the plant prefers to be slightly root-bound.

- Dormancy: In winter, the plant may drop its leaves and go dormant. During this time, reduce watering and avoid fertilizing. It will start to grow again in the spring

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
