Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

Common Names: Ponytail Palm, Elephant's Foot Tree, Bottle Palm, Monja.

Best Growing Environment: Ponytail Palms are not true palms but are a type of succulent. They're native to eastern Mexico's semi-desert regions and thrive in dry, well-draining soils. Their bulbous base, often likened to an elephant's foot, stores water, enabling the plant to endure drought conditions.

Average Height: In indoor settings, Ponytail Palms typically range from 6 to 8 feet tall. However, in their natural outdoor habitat, they can reach heights of up to 20-30 feet.

Growth Rate: These plants are relatively slow-growing, especially when kept indoors or in containers.

Sun Requirements: Ponytail Palms adore sunlight. Indoors, they should be placed near a window that receives bright, indirect light. Outdoors, they can handle full sun but will also tolerate partial shade.

Cold Hardiness: While the Ponytail Palm is hardy, it doesn't fare well in freezing temperatures. It is best suited for USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones, it's preferable to grow them in containers that can be moved indoors during the winter.

Water Requirements: Due to their succulent nature, Ponytail Palms are drought-tolerant. Overwatering is a common mistake. It's best to let the soil dry out between waterings. When you do water, ensure it's a deep watering and that the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing Guide: While Ponytail Palms aren't particularly demanding about fertilization, a light application of a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) can support their growth. Fertilize once or twice during this period and avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.

Planting Guide: When planting a Ponytail Palm, select a well-draining potting mix, ideally cactus or succulent soil. Ensure the pot has good drainage. Plant the palm so that the bulbous base is above the soil. When the soil is entirely dry to the touch, water thoroughly. If planting outdoors, choose a spot with well-draining soil and ensure the base remains above ground level.

USDA Zone: The Ponytail Palm thrives in USDA zones 9-11.

Distinctive with its swollen base and long, hair-like leaves that cascade downwards, the Ponytail Palm is a unique addition to any indoor or outdoor space. Contrary to its name, it's not a true palm but rather a member of the Agave family. This easy-to-care-for plant is an excellent choice for those new to gardening or those who prefer low-maintenance plants.

What is poetry?
Format: Paperback
I have been an avid reader of nearly every genre of written creativity except for poetry. Other than the rhythmic beautiful descriptions in certain pieces, the heart and soul of poetry has always escaped me. This book moved me closer to discovering and understanding that beat. It has a heavy focus on the Appalachian region, and taught me the deep purpose of cadence and the beauty of the simplicity found in that. Some of the poems are dark, some not so much. I really enjoyed this book and it showed me on a more personal level why poetry should be read and appreciated. Graves work is a treasure.

So readable!
Format: Paperback
I devoured this book in one day, and I’m very glad I didn’t read reviews first. Go in blind if you can—the jacket gives just enough and nothing more. At first, it feels like a story about control. Dannie—who has planned every detail of her life—has everything working exactly as intended. Until one night she falls asleep and spends an hour five years in the future. It doesn’t feel like a dream. It feels like inhabiting a premonition—something real, physical, and undeniable. When she wakes up, everything shifts. The story moves from careful planning to knowing—and not being able to change what’s coming. It’s not the story you think it will be. But it is a very good love story. What I appreciated most is how it explores what love actually asks of us, without dressing it up or making it easy. It’s a quick read, but it lingers. And somehow, I’m not even mad at the author for taking me on an unexpected journey.

Perfect summer book!
Format: Kindle
Dannie has had her life planned out since she was a little girl. Get into the good school, find the right job, meet the guy, find the perfect job, get engaged, get married, buy the house, and maybe one day, have the kid. So far, everything is going according to her plan. She has made it to the "get engaged" moment and it is perfect. She has the man of her dreams and everything is on track to meet all of her goals. But the night of her engagement, something makes her swerve off course. She dreams a very vivid and real dream that it is 5 years in the future and she is in a different apartment and has a different ring on her finger, and there is a different man in her life. She wakes up suddenly and tries to forget. 4 and a half years go by and Dannie still hasn't set a wedding date...life keeps getting in the way. One night she and her fiance meet her best friend, Bella, for dinner on a double date only to find that her best friend's date is the man she dreamed about. All Dannie can think about why he is in her life and more importantly, how she can change the future. Along the way, Dannie has to learn many hard lessons, including accepting the unexpected. Told from Dannie's perspective, this fast paced and heart breaking novel, examines love and one's chosen family. The author uses "the dream" to frame the entire story and I loved the feel and rhythm of this book. It feels suspenseful knowing Dannie is on somewhat of a countdown. This isn't a romance book (believe me, not my thing) but it is a love story. It is a rather short novel, which made it a fast read, but I found myself wanting more. I would have liked to have seen a little more plot development before the story's major twist occurred. But overall, I really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone wanting a heartfelt, yet not sappy, summer read.

Not what I expected at all
Format: Paperback
Hmmm. So this is a good book. But I’m mad b/c I feel betrayed. The back of the book says it’s about Dannie, and how the night she gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend David, she falls asleep. And then she wakes up and spends one hour 5 years in the future. A different apartment, a different ring, a different man. “It’s a love story, but it is not the one you’re expecting”. Ok, so spoiler alert. If you’re planning to read the book, maybe you shouldn’t read this review and should just read the book as it’s meant to be read. But I would have liked a warning. This is a story about friendship. Dannie and Bella have been best friends since they were 7. While Dannie is conservative and loves to plan, Bohemian Bella flies by the seat of her pants and goes where the wind takes her. They are so different, but are twin souls. And I think the story of their friendship would have been enough. But instead, I was told it was a love story about a woman and two potential men. And I was definitely not warned that this would be a crying book, but the last 20 pages had me just over misty. Overall, this was not the book I thought I’d be reading. And while it was good, I feel like I’ve been tricked and I’m mad about it.
