Germination Guide

Seed Selection & Preparation

Seed Quality: For the best germination rates, always use fresh seeds. Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in warm water for 24–48 hours to effectively soften the seed coat and significantly improve germination success rates and speed.

Sowing Medium & Drainage

Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and coarse sand. Excellent drainage is essential to prevent fungal issues and root rot during germination. Ensure the medium is sterile and properly aerated.

Planting Depth

Plant seeds approximately 1–2 cm deep in the seed-starting mix. Cover lightly with substrate and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the medium throughout the germination process.

Temperature & Humidity Requirements

Optimal Temperature: 25–30°C provides ideal germination conditions. Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels (70–85%) by covering with a clear dome or plastic wrap. Provide occasional ventilation to prevent mold development.

Watering & Light Management

Maintain consistent moisture in the germination medium without waterlogging or creating soggy conditions. Provide bright, indirect light during germination. Avoid direct sunlight which can overheat seeds and reduce germination success rates.

Germination Timeline & Seedling Care

Germination can take several weeks to several months, so patience and consistency are essential. Once seedlings emerge, provide bright, indirect light and keep soil consistently moist. Gradually acclimate seedlings to more direct light as they develop. Transplant into larger pots when large enough to handle without damage.

Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Indoor: Thrives in bright, indirect light conditions. Outdoor: Prefers partial shade to light filtered sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sunlight but benefits from protection during the hottest parts of the day to prevent leaf burn and color fading.

Soil Requirements & pH

The Variegated Fishtail Palm prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Ideal mix: loam, sand, and compost proportionally balanced. Adapts to various soil types but performs best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions (pH 6.0–7.0). Proper drainage is absolutely essential to prevent root rot.

Watering & Irrigation

Growing Season: Regular watering is essential—keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged or soggy. Winter: Reduce watering during cooler periods when plant growth naturally slows. Ensure good drainage to prevent water accumulation around roots which causes rot.

Temperature & Cold Protection

Optimal Range: 18–30°C promotes healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Frost Protection: This palm is sensitive to frost and must be protected from temperatures below 10°C. In cooler climates, grow in containers and move indoors or to sheltered locations during winter months.

Fertilization & Nutrition

Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for palms or general-purpose plants. Apply every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and maintain vibrant, colorful foliage. Reduce fertilization during winter dormancy when growth slows significantly.

Pruning & Maintenance

Regular pruning is necessary to remove dead, damaged, or discolored fronds and maintain a tidy, attractive appearance. Clean pruning tools between cuts to prevent disease transmission. The plant responds well to careful maintenance and develops a fuller, more impressive form.

Pest & Disease Management

Caryota mitis 'Variegata' is generally resistant to pests and diseases but should be monitored for common issues like spider mites or scale insects, particularly in indoor environments. Maintain good air circulation, appropriate humidity, and inspect foliage regularly for early intervention if problems develop.

Container Growing & Repotting

Choose a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade. Select a pot with adequate drainage holes and appropriate size for future growth expansion. When growing in containers, repot as needed to accommodate expanding root systems and refresh nutrient-rich soil.

Relevant & Timeless, just like the Gospel it proclaims
Format: Hardcover
Never in history has our innate need to gaze upon something been so obvious as in this age of screens in every room and every pocket, instagram and facebook posts that depict an image we want to project (or imitate), and all the various forms of entertainment that involve us beholding something we enjoy or admire. Ruth's voice is not just a voice for women--all people, man, woman, Christian or not, would benefit from pondering the truths in this book as well--but for sure, so many Christian women are desperate for the message in this book, even if they don't realize it. In addition to us being a "beholding" generation, we also are a generation of self- and home-improvement junkies--always hungry for transformation and improvement. Ruth brings the timeless truths of the Bible into application in this book and reiterates the connection between "beholding" and "becoming". She shows us chapter after chapter that the transformation each of us longs for is directly tied to that which we set our gaze upon, and that the only lasting and genuine transformation we can experience comes from gazing upon the beauty of Christ and His gospel. I love the way the chapters are laid out; one chapter laying out the specific truth about God in His Word that we can "behold" and then the following chapter directly ties to what we can "become" as the fruit of beholding that truth. For those who have loved and followed Ruth's writing online, this book seems like an all-encompassing work that includes in this "Behold" then "Become" format all that we love about her ability to share what she is "preaching to her own heart". A voice like Ruth's among Christian women's mainstream bestsellers is long overdue and so needed. She not only brings the beauty of her artwork and design into this book, but the beauty of the deep and rich truth's of God's Word into the hands of people who may not have heard the true gospel, but may have been getting a lot of their theology from books in the "Christian" aisles of the bookstores. In those cases, I believe this book will point people directly to the Word of God, and encourages them to go there to behold Him. That leads me to the artwork. I have always loved her work (which adorns most of the walls in my home!) but there's something new about the art in this book. I love the patterned effect of most of the pages that causes you to stop and stare. As I've admired each page I've found myself thinking "this would be amazing wallpaper/fabric patterns/or addition to our wall" The colors are vibrant and classic. There's almost a modern vintage feel to the art, making it seem altogether relevant and timeless. One of my favorite parts about the art is that she explained in the beginning of the book some of the intention behind each plant or animal, and what they symbolized for her. It reminded me of God's intention in creation. Her sharing the meaning behind each detail actually helped me stop and gaze a little longer at each work of art and delight in the details. I think the purpose and design behind that aspect of it was genius in that it highlighted the exact point that her book's message is about: That the change we are looking for in our lives is not about doing more, being more, striving harder, but that it all starts first in where we are training our heart's affections. That in order to become what we were made to become, we must first stop and look at the God who created us. Stop and gaze upon Him in His Word and in His creation, and be reminded of what He has given us and who He has made us to be in Christ. Beholding Him alone is the key to transformation. And our busy self-made generation, in and outside the church, desperately needs to hear and apply this message. I'm personally so thankful for the work the Lord has done through Ruth. He has truly gifted her with the ability to point people's gaze past herself and her gifts, and to the One they were meant to glorify. That's a tough road to navigate as a Christian woman in today's social media culture, but by the grace of God, Ruth has done it with a humility that leaves me and friends I know who also follow her work, with an example of what it looks like to behold Christ in our every day and to walk with and point each other to the beauty of the cross.

A guide for beholding His presence in our everyday.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
“Heartaches can either mold us into confident worshippers or defensive doubters. Who we become in the wrestling of them is not neutral... we aren’t promised answers that heal, outcomes we think we deserve, or timing that makes the most sense to us. Instead that In every circumstance Gods purpose will prevail and will not be thwarted by manipulators, liars, or cheats. Injustice and selfish schemes are no match for him who wastes nothing. We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Hin, who have been called according to his purpose. “ Romans 8:28NIV Once again Ruth takes the word of Lord and gives them to us in morsels beautifully wrapped in gorgeous paintings and abundant wisdom. This is not a self-proclaimed wisdom but a wisdom that can only come from beholding God’s word for herself. Her work reflects the work the Lord wants to do in our hearts, to create beauty out of ashes and emptiness. Not only will the beautiful artwork speak to your heart but it will also encourage you to examine your heart. What circumstances and struggles in your life have shifted your gaze to yourself and away from the Lord? Have you felt empty after Sunday church feeling despondent that the day is over and you must return to “normal” life? Well, pick up this book and learn new rhythms, find new insights into the Lord’s heart through Ruth’s art and heart. The pages of this book make it easier to practice His presence. Ruth says, “Practice makes a posture become a pattern.” The devotions in this book will cause you to create patterns that breath new life into your everyday moments. One of those everyday moments is around the table with your family. Seeing God through sharing a meal together stirs my heart for community deeply. Here’s a snippet of how she sees the table. “Sometimes I think about the table of hospitality the same way. People who are invited in and given a seat at our table observe and receive relationship, provision, nurturing, and welcome in a way no mere invitation to church can provide. Instead of handing someone information about Jesus or an invitation to Easter service, or telling them that the gospel is life changing, we give them the opportunity to experience it through our hospitality. So much of Jesus ministry was done at the table.” What an encouragement to know that we don’t have to go far but we can start around our table and if our table needs filled we can bring others in to show them Jesus as we break bread. Not only are you invited to behold Him throughly the mundane moments in our lives, but also through the busy moments. The invitation to stop the hustle and to sabbath well abounds in this book. Throughout the book there two page spreads of gorgeous artwork and in them you will find practical suggestions for ways we can enter into be rest of the Lord. Ruth, reminds us that, “cutting corners on rest doesn’t get you ahead.” She urges us to “fight to abide.” There is so much richness in this book and I am so grateful to have read it beforehand but I am so looking forward to holding it in my hands, but most of all I am ready to make space for this book to be a daily reminder that I am His and he abides in me. A must have for everyone and one to constantly refer back through the ups and downs of life.
