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.

A great collection of poetry.
Format: Paperback
I first "discovered" Stevens from selections of some of his work being a part of this work on poetics I have. The quotes are, I suppose, for the oddity of discovering an artist that is more well known than I'll ever be. Great book to have if you're interested in how poetry made its move from constrained to open.

Stevens wrote, "She sang beyond the genius of the sea." He did the same.
Format: Kindle
Thank you to the publisher for an ebook copy of Stevens' work. My ancient paperback copy is now retired. As for the poetry: my respectful suggestion is to read it and not feel obliged to understand it. Reading a poem isn't a contest you have to win. Let the music of the words wash over you. Float. You don't have to bring anything to this party except your willingness to be surprised, the way you're sometimes surprised, on waking, by a dream you had. Happy reading, whatever you choose to read.

Corrected and cleaned up, Stevens shines
Format: Paperback
The corrections to the text of the 1954 Collected Poems are worth paying for, but the attractive, highly readable typeface and layout make this collection pleasantly readable as well as compelling. Stevens is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, and in his corporate pin-stripe portliness he is also an inspiration to all of us basically nerdy, tweedy, non-Beat types who hope we possess a tiny spark of poetic genius. Romantic and post-romantic poetry is an argument between imagination and reality, and no one clarifies the terms of that argument better than Stevens.

Linus's blue blanket
Format: Hardcover
Even though I'm reading the hardcover, I wrap the wonderful, wise words of W.S. Merwin around me. His poems infuse my life with an even keener sense of appreciating the "now." His words keep me in constant contact with my sense of responsibility for our planet. He's an inspiration for taking action to preserve, conserve, and plant trees, as well as recognizing the magnitude of the impact that each being carries. The geese, all animals, relationships, taking better care of the earth and each other, as well as experiencing the sorrows and the joys in life. He is dedicated to the craft of poetry and its vital role of importance in our lives. I wish I could thank him in person, but since that's not realistic, I will continue to do my best to honor him in my own way, by taking time to observe, experience, appreciate, write, take action, and reflect upon the beauty in the world and making the most of each moment. Carpe Diem!
