About Marojejya

Marojejya is a genus of palms in the Arecaceae family, native to Madagascar. It is notable for its unique and striking appearance, which makes it an attractive choice for palm enthusiasts and collectors. The genus is relatively small, comprising a few species that are distinguished by their distinctive characteristics.

Marojejya palms are typically characterized by their tall, slender trunks and elegant, pinnate leaves. The leaves are feather-like and arch gracefully, giving the plant a tropical and exotic appearance. The trunk is often smooth and ringed, adding to the ornamental value of the plant.

Exotic Madagascar Treasure: These palms are usually grown for their aesthetic appeal in tropical and subtropical gardens. They are well-suited to a range of landscapes and can serve as focal points in garden design. Due to their native habitat, Marojejya palms are adapted to a warm, humid environment and generally require similar conditions to thrive.

Marojejya palms are elegant and visually striking plants that add a touch of the exotic to any garden. Their refined appearance and adaptability make them a valuable addition to tropical and subtropical landscapes.

Cultivation Conditions

Light Requirements

Marojejya palms prefer bright, indirect light or partial shade. They can tolerate full sun in tropical climates but may need some protection from the harsh afternoon sun in hotter regions. Adequate light promotes healthy, vibrant foliage.

Temperature Preferences

These palms thrive in warm climates and are typically suited to USDA hardiness zones 10-11. They are sensitive to frost and should be protected or brought indoors if temperatures drop significantly. Optimal growing temperatures range from 22-30°C (72-86°F).

Soil Composition

Marojejya palms prefer well-draining, rich soil. A loamy or sandy soil with added organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot. The addition of peat or coconut coir improves moisture retention without creating waterlogged conditions.

Water Management

These palms require regular watering, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. During cooler months, reduce watering frequency to prevent root problems.

Planting and Care Instructions

Planting Location

Plant Marojejya palms in a location that provides bright, indirect light or partial shade. If planting in a container, use a palm or cactus potting mix with good drainage. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation and ensure root health.

Fertilization Program

Fertilize the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season, typically from spring through summer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage to avoid over-fertilization. A palm-specific fertilizer with added micronutrients is recommended for optimal growth.

Maintenance and Pruning

Marojejya palms generally require minimal maintenance. Remove any dead or damaged fronds to maintain the plant's appearance and promote healthy growth. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, such as spider mites or fungal infections, and treat them promptly with appropriate solutions.

Growing from Seeds

Seed Preparation

Marojejya seeds should be soaked in warm water for 24-48 hours before sowing to help soften the seed coat and improve germination rates. Use room-temperature or slightly warm water and change it periodically to prevent fermentation and fungal growth.

Sowing Process

Sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Press them lightly into the soil and cover with a thin layer of soil or sand. Ensure the seed-starting mix is moist before planting and maintain consistent moisture throughout the germination period without creating waterlogged conditions.

Germination Conditions

Place the seed tray in a warm, bright location with temperatures around 25-30°C (77-86°F). Maintain consistent moisture in the soil but avoid waterlogging. Germination can take several weeks to a few months depending on seed freshness and environmental conditions. Be patient and maintain optimal conditions consistently.

Care for Seedlings

Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect light and gradually acclimate them to more light exposure over several weeks. Transplant seedlings into individual pots or directly into the garden when they are large enough to handle and have developed several fronds.

Human-being ET celebration!
Format: Paperback
What made this book so fascinating and essential to my collection is the amount of Human Being looking humanoid off worlders who have visited our planet…it is so fascinating. Most of the time you hear, simply about the Pleiadians when the word Nordic is brought up. This goes so much further into the diversity of systems out there that human beings exist within. Highly recommended.

An Amazingly Wise Book
Format: Paperback
Trauma, in fact, intergenerational trauma that has not been metabolized, is a recipe for racism. As a psychotherapist with over 50 years addressing trauma and the need for decolonization therapies that go far beyond what is customarily taught in universities, My Grandmother's Hands is the clearest guide I have come across to help suffering individuals "grow up" as Resma Menakem respectfully says. This is a profound, wise, brilliant, compassionate, and exceptionally insightful effort to confront our body's pain as well as that of our families, communities, and our American culture. When we grow as individuals we will also grow as communities -- what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as "the beloved community."

A must read for therapists and everyone else
Format: Paperback
As a psychologist who works primarily with individuals in marginalized communities, I see a lot of clients who have experienced historical, intergenerational, developmental and ongoing current trauma, often as a result of systems of oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.). I was very excited to dive into training in somatic experiencing (SE), a "bottom up" approach to trauma treatment that recognizes the ways that traumatic experiences get stored in the body, and therefore need to be healed through the body. However, I was disappointed to find that most of the books on SE, as well as the trainings themselves, rarely if ever mention racism or other systems of oppression and the trauma they cause. This was such a disappointment to me, especially given that racial trauma is so prevalent in the everyday lives of my clients and perpetuated daily by the current political climate. Therefore I was thrilled to discover this book. Resmaa Menakem filled in the gap I was feeling in the SE literature, applying somatic experiencing to racial trauma and the ways that racism impacts the bodies of white people, black people (and all people of color), and those who are charged with "serving and protecting" us, the police. This book was a huge eye opener for me. Not only did it give me compassion for my own white body and the ways that trauma has been metabolized and passed on from white folks to POC through the mechanisms of white supremacy, but it gave me new and more embodied ways to understand the lives of people of color and work effectively with my POC clients. It also gave me new compassion for cops, who, through their own trauma responses and the effects of white supremacy, are now more like soldiers whose mission is to control and suppress black and brown bodies. Although I will continue to feel outrage and grief at every unnecessary police killing of an innocent man or woman of color, this book helped me to remember that we are all impacted by centuries of white supremacy conditioning and that cops need and deserve healing around racial trauma too. I highly recommend this book to therapists and healers, especially those who work with individuals in marginalized communities. Each chapter provides exercises to embody the learning in the chapter, so that healing is happening not just from the top down, but from the bottom up. There are exercises for individuals and groups, for white bodies, POC bodies and police bodies. The book is extremely timely and relevant and should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand more about the history and current conditions of racism in America, its impacts, and how to heal.

Think of racism as a moral failing isn’t helpful. Instead, think of it as a trauma response.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
If we are willing to stop and listen to the voices of these people, both in the streets and in their writings (for generations now), we will hear them tell us their experience. And their experience is horrific. Some of us will turn away, finding solace in justifications (“He should have complied!”) or distancing (“My family was poor too. None of my family owned slaves.”) But if we care about a sustainable future for our country, if we have the smallest shred of a sense of responsibility for our neighbor, or if (like me) we claim to follow Jesus, the one who taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to put other people’s lives before our own, then we must listen. In My Grandmother’s Hands, Resmaa Menakem comes to this conversation from a different and very helpful angle. He suggests that three groups are clashing in our country today: black-bodied people, white-bodied people and police. He suggests that the animus, reactivity, and often explosive violence between these groups is in fact the result of unprocessed trauma. He digs deep into the story of each of these groups to demonstrate the primary and secondary trauma each group carries. Then he talks about the process of trauma retention and how, if we fail to understand and process our trauma, we inevitably become less flexible, more reactive, and more violent. He suggests that the solution to our problem is not solely in education, awareness or even new policies, but in becoming more aware of our bodies, learning how to handle and process trauma, and becoming more resilient in our interactions with other traumatized people. This is the first book about racial injustice that I’ve read where I finished feeling like I could actually make a difference. I’m not a policy maker. I’m not able to be a regular front-line activist. I don’t have piles of money to spend at Black-owned businesses. It’s easy to feel like my small contribution can’t possibly make a real difference. But Menakem suggests a path that any one of us can walk--coming to terms with our own experience of racialized trauma -- and this will open up the path for other ways we can be a part of creating a more just, compassionate, and equal society.

Enlightening, transformative, maybe even life-changing
Format: Paperback
I would have to say that this is an interactive book. As I was reading this with a group, reading one or two chapters at a time, it was possible to do all the exercises. I did not do them all, but must say it was an eye-opening experience. The basis premise of the book is that we carry trauma in our bodies, and that we respond to issues of race, first and foremost, in our bodies, as a visceral response. And, as so many of our experiences originate early in life, these responses are often immediate and unconscious, and thus, this book requires a great deal of interior work. It's worth every moment of it. I remember clearly, that before I had finished the introduction, I felt rage- actual rage. And for a person who considers herself balanced and rather low-key this was quite astounding. And this rage continued to surface. Let me just say that this book makes you explore unexamined parts of yourself, if you will let it. Expect to feel uncomfortable, and if you push through it, you may be different when you get to the other side...
