Introducing the fascinating silver dollar vine, also known as Xerosicyos danguyi. The silver dollar vine has several other common names such as the penny plant, silver dollar plant, or Dollar vine.  

The name "silver dollar" refers to the shape and color of the leaves on this succulent vine, which originates from the dry regions of Madagascar. This unique silver dollar plant is sure to catch your attention with its distinctive appearance and interesting growth habits.  

Xerosicyos danguyi has cylindrical stems and thick, flattened, round, silvery-green leaves. Xerosicyos means 'dry cucumber', and this plant belongs to the cucumber family. These are vining succulent plants that climb using delicate tendrils to stick onto the wall or other surfaces. Despite its climbing abilities, the Silver Dollar Vine only turns into a loose shrub over time if it does not have something to climb and produces a small caudex at the base. The leaves are up to 1.6 inches long and 1.4 inches wide, giving the plant a striking and eye-catching look. This vine can be grown in a hanging basket or trained to climb a trellis or wall, adding a touch of greenery and uniqueness to any space.  

The flowers of the Xerosicyos danguyi are small and inconspicuous, but what makes them unique is their intriguing fragrance. When the silver dollar vine blooms in the Spring and Summer, it releases a sweet and delicate scent that can fill the air around it.  

The Silver Dollar flowers themselves are pale yellow or greenish white in color, adding a subtle beauty to the overall appearance of the plant. While the Silver Dollar Vine is primarily known for its striking silver dollar-shaped leaves, its flowers provide an extra touch of charm and allure. If you have the opportunity to witness the blooms, it's definitely a treat for the senses.  

Additionally, the Silver Dollar Vine is non-toxic to cats and dogs, so you can enjoy its beauty without worrying about your furry friends.  It's sure to be a conversation starter in any indoor garden. 

Watering Needs 

Like most succulents, the Silver Dollar Vine has adapted to survive in arid conditions, which means it has low watering needs. It's important to let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering. So, make sure the top inch or so of the soil is dry before giving it a good drink.  

When it's time to water, give your Xerosicyos danguyi silver dollar vine a thorough soaking, allowing the water to reach the roots. But remember, moderation is key! Avoid leaving your silver dollar vine plant sitting in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, watering should be done again every two to three weeks once the soil has dried out. 

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Silver Dollar Vine is its ability to store water in its leaves. This adaptation allows it to survive in dry conditions, making it a perfect choice for those who tend to forget to water their succulent plants. The leaves can shrink or shrivel when the dollar plant is low on water, but don't fret! They'll plump back up when watered, showing off their unique charm once again. 

Keep in mind that the watering frequency may vary depending on factors like the temperature, humidity, and the type of potting mix used. So, it's always a good idea to monitor the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.

Light Requirements  

When grown indoors, the Silver Dollar Vine thrives in bright, indirect light. It enjoys being near a window where it can receive plenty of bright, filtered sunlight throughout the day. However, it's important to protect it from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch its leaves. 

If you're growing your silver dollar vine outdoors, it is important to choose a location that receives partial shade. This dollar plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can be damaged by intense heat or direct sunlight. If you notice that your Silver Dollar Vine's leaves are turning yellow or brown, it might be an indication that it's receiving too much direct sunlight.  

Meanwhile, if the leaves start stretching or becoming pale, it could mean that they're not getting enough light. In that case, you can consider moving it to a brighter spot or supplementing it with artificial grow lights.  

Remember, finding the right balance is key! Provide a spot with bright, indirect light, and observe how your Xerosicyos danguyi responds. If it's thriving and maintaining its vibrant green color, then you've found the perfect spot. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Xerosicyos danguyi favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot.

Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Silver dollar succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizer, the silver dollar vine doesn't require excessive feeding. During the active growing season, which is typically spring, you can fertilize it with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half strength. Apply the fertilizer once a year and follow the instructions.  

It's important to remember not to over-fertilize, as succulents like the silver dollar vine are adapted to survive in nutrient-poor environments. Too much fertilizer can actually harm your Xerosicyos danguyi and lead to issues like burned roots or excessive growth. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the Xerosicyos danguyi silver dollar vine prefers a warm and cozy environment. It thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It's important to keep your silver dollar vine away from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions. 

When growing outdoors, the Xerosicyos danguyi is best suited for hardiness zones 10-11, where temperatures rarely fall below 30°F. If you live in a colder climate, you can still grow the silver dollar vine outdoors during the summer months, but it's important to bring it indoors before the temperatures start to dip. 

Remember, the silver dollar vine is not frost-tolerant, so it's crucial to protect it from freezing temperatures. If you're growing it outdoors, make sure to bring it inside or provide proper insulation during the colder months. 

Xerosicyos danguyi Propagation

To propagate Xerosicyos danguyi silver dollar vine, select a healthy stem, prepare a 4-6 inch long cutting, remove lower leaves, allow it to callus, plant in a well-draining soil mix, and provide proper care. Place the cutting in a warm, bright location, and avoid direct sunlight and water sparingly. Overwatering can lead to rotting. When Xerosicyos danguyi is grown from seed, a caudex will form. With patience and Xerosicyos danguyi care, the cutting should develop roots and grow into a new plant, expanding your collection. 

The Bottom Line 

To sum it up, the Xerosicyos danguyi, or the Silver Dollar Vine, is a unique and fascinating succulent plant. It thrives in warm indoor temperatures and is best suited for hardiness zones 10-11 outdoors. Propagating this plant through stem cuttings can be a rewarding way to expand your collection. Just remember to provide it with well-drained soil and bright but indirect light, and avoid overwatering. With its distinctive silver dollar-shaped leaves and ability to store water, the Xerosicyos danguyi adds a touch of exotic beauty to any space. Whether you're a cactus enthusiast or simply looking for an interesting houseplant, the Xerosicyos danguyi Silver Dollar Vine is definitely worth considering.

A Clear Concise Precis of a Complex Historical Era
Format: Paperback
R.W. Southern's book titled WESTERN SOCIETY AND THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE AGES is a readable account of the Medieval Catholic Church from c 750 to c. 1450. Southern concisely explained the achievements, successes, and failures. According to Southern, the achievements and successes far outweighed the failures and wrong doing. Southern's book began with the special relationship between the new "barbarian" secular rulers and the Catholic clergy especially the monks and bishops. The fact that most secular rulers were not literate especially in the use of Latin, they relied on learned Catholic clergy. The Catholic clergy became crucial and both they and the secular rulers relied on each other. While Charlemagne (768-814)had a revered status as the defender of the Latin West, Southern mentioned his reliance on Catholic clergy. Charlemagne could read,but he never learned to write. He was aware of his own deficiencies and started the Palace School at Aachen where, among others, Alcuin (735-804) and other learned men expanded learning at a time called the Carolingian Renaissance. What readers should appreciate is that without Catholic clergy and monks, learning would have disappeared in Western Europe. Southern was very clear about this. The Medieval Catholic authorities faced other challenges. Long simmering feuds existed between the Byzantine Greek Orthodox Church authorities and the Latin Roman Catholic authorities. During the eighth century and again in 1054,the official reasons for tensions were the use of icons (The Iconoclastic Controversy) and the status of the Pope. As Southern wrote, these tensions were a cover for the disputes between the Italians and Byzantine Greeks over Byzantine control of parts of Italy. What the Greek Orthodox and Byzantine authorities did not want to realize was that the Latin West including the Popes were their only salvation vs. the Islamic Seljuk Turks especially after the Byzantine defeat at Manzikurt in 1071. In 1422, Pope Martin V (1417-1471)reminded the Byzantine religious and secular rulers how much they relied on the Latin West. In other words, Pope Martin V demanded concessions if the Byzantines expected help vs. the Turks. Because of the lang standing traditions the Byzantines had, they refused to face their doom which occurred in 1453. Southern's description of this dilemma was well presented. An achievement that Southern emphasized was the development of Canon Law. Increased trade, urbanization, and political power led to conflicts between secular rulers and Catholic authorities. Some of the Medieval Popes were known as "The Lawyer Popes" such as Pope Alexander III (1159-1181), especially Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), and Pope Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241). While the Popes could and sometimes used excommunication and interdict to intimidate secular rivals, the problem became acute because of too much reliance on these spiritual weapons. Not only did the Popes exert power and influence, the Catholic bishops also had considerable influence. The Cathoic bishoporics existed long befor the monastic orders and the friars. The ideal for bishops was Pope Gregory's (590-604)work titled PASTORAL CARE. Due to the bishops' position of power and status, many became too involved with poltical situations that mitigated Pope Gregory I's ideal. Bishops had to enforce discipline, show wisdom, and administer effectively. Southern mentioned some of the bishops who were effective and some who were inept. For example Bishop Odo Riguad (1247-1276) was "firm but fair." He was lenient for qualifications for those who wanted to enter Holy Orders and was reasonable, in fact kind, re reconcilation. Yet, he expected those under his authority to comply with their priestly duties. On the other hand, John Peckham who was the Archbishop of Canterbury (1279-1292)was obstinate, incompetent, and not capable for the position. After the Papal Election Decree in 1059 and the Investature Controversy, the Popes wanted the local clergy to decide on the appointment of bishops. Southern told readers that even a Pope as powerful as Pope Innocent III (1198-1216)preferred local selection. While Popes could intervene if no decision could be reached, they preferred not to impose what Southern called "The Royal Road." While the bishoporics existed prior to the monastic orders and friars, the latter groups were also crucial to the Catholic Church and the Latin West. The dominant orders included the Benedictines started by St. Benedict (480-544) whose Benedictine Rule was the standard until c. 1050. The work of the monastic orders re learning can never be underestimated especially since they wrote and hand copied books including the Bible long before the invention of the printing press. Their influnce was such that a Beneditine was made Pope-Pope Gregory I (590-604). Other orders such as the Cistertians and Augustinians later developed separate from the Benedictines. The best known of the Cistertians was St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)whose rhetoric and conservative views were a check on unbridled enthusiams. The friars were orders of men and women who left the cloister to appeal to the masses. St. Dominic (1170-1221) started the Order of Preachers or Dominicans as a learned society of men and woman to combat heresy. The Friars Minor (the Franciscans) were started by St. Francis of Assissi (1182-1226),and these men and woman started as an order to help the poorest of the poor. Southern could have mentioned that St. Francis helped those even God ignored. The Dominicans and Franciscans became dominant teachers in Catholic universities and revived interest in Ancient Greek thought. These men and women also made signficant contributions re science and mathematics. A major reason for the creation of the friars was the gradual increase of urbanization. As Southern reminded readers, without towns, there would have been no friars. Without universities, the friars would never have been great. By the middle of the 14th. century (the 1300s), the Scholastic achievements faded because of the trivial debates. This led to a revival of Catholic mysticism such as Thomas a Kempis' (1380-1471)who wrote IMITATION OF CHRIST and later St. Ignatius Loyola's (1491-1556) SPIRITUAL EXERCISES. As Southern warned did such mysticism lead to false piety? Southern did an effective job re Medieval Catholic Church History. He could have emphasized the work of some of the giant intellects such as St. Albertus Magnus (1193-1280) and St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). Southern's treatment of Canon Law was later enhanced by Berman's book titled LAW AND REVOLUTION. Students of Church History will benefit from Southern's book. It is clear, and complexities are carefully explained. The list of Popes at the end of the book can help readers to keep track of the "players." James E. Egolf November 5, 2013

From the Bones of Peter
Format: Paperback
A brief forward to this work is in order. R.W. Southern stands among England's finest historical scholars of the twentieth century and was knighted by the Queen in 1975. The publisher, Penguin, has worked to bring the best of the humanities to an inquisitive public for almost a century. Southern's medieval survey is thus an eminently readable text buttressed by a profound grasp of both trends and minutiae. Our work at hand is one of seven independent works in Penguin's history of the Church series. Southern's contribution was first published in 1970 and updated in 1990. Historians are bringing more interdisciplinary tools to the study of medieval history, from climate to demographics to agriculture. Southern is the product of an earlier and more basic methodology, where the nexus of Church and Society stood as the interpretive key to an understanding of the times. I first read "Western Society and the Church" shortly after its original release in 1970. Reading it again in 2014 impressed upon me how compatible Southern's comprehensive overview stands with what we now know in greater detail about mystical movements, cold winters, trade, exploration, and plague, among other factors. Despite the wide sweep of his narrative, Southern's conclusions are drawn from meticulous examination of records, with useful numerical charts interspersed from time to time. Southern treats of the years 800-1500 CE and the provenance of the Roman Catholic Church in that era. The title's phrasing of "Western Society and the Church" is a pregnant one. The organism of the Church and western society as a whole shared a common cosmology or world vision. Medieval man did indeed understand himself to be living in a "Middle Age" between the time of Christ's first and second coming. However, Southern's overview provides many instances where the major organs of the Church and western society were hardly of one mind, either. Not surprisingly Southern devotes considerable attention to the changing Petrine ministry, which in 800 was not enjoying its finest hour. Besieged by Islam and other foreign peoples, belittled by Eastern Christianity from Constantinople, and its own house in disarray, Rome somehow maintained a religious and psychological hold in the popular mind. As reliquary of the bones of Peter, Rome and its successive bishops never entirely lost hold of mystery and supremacy in the early dark medieval era. In popular thought at the time, the pope was a living vicar of Peter. "Though men came to Rome in the first place to visit the (bones of the) Apostle, they prostrated themselves before the pope." (95) What would maintain Church order through dark times, Southern implies, was an inner sense among men of the times that God's order (and wrath) was mediated by the Church. Fractiousness between clergy and laity was common, but fear of damnation trumped all. Only the most cynical of men would knowingly dismiss hell fire And thus the Vicar of Peter became the Vicar of Christ. It did not hurt the cause that shrewd popes buttressed their positions with questionable emphases upon more ancient secular entitlements dating to the times of the Constantinian/Christian empire of the West. The heritage of Charlemagne and the forgery of the "Donation of Constantine" played their parts, but the permanent breech with the East may have been a deciding factor as well. Pontiffs such as Gregory VII came to understand their office as specific, detailed, and immediate. To speak anachronistically, popes became managers of a far flung bureaucracy of order and sanctification in what was now a Western European Roman Catholic venture. By 1100 there was plenty for popes to do. The relationship between pastoral appointments (bishops and abbots, for example) and the attendant financial compensation became quite complex. The papal office became official arbiter over disputes between various parties, to the degree that the majority of high medieval popes were drawn from the legal profession. Southern describes a medieval Church of prelates, scribes and lawyers crisscrossing Western Europe in the name of the Pope with portfolios of litigation and judgment. It does not miss the author’s attention that the papacy was also the greatest broker of spiritual reward and punishment, specifically its powers of excommunication and redemption, the latter becoming a major target of reformers at the end of the era. Southern contends that religious orders extended major spiritual and practical influence throughout the Middle Ages. In 800 the Benedictine Order, whose legacy would include spiritual efficacy, scholarship, good order, and physical enhancement of the environment, was at its apex. Southern proceeds to outline in some detail how the inevitable decline of fervor in a predominant order of the day would inspire the development of a new order to address developing contemporary concerns. As successors of the Benedictines, Southern identifies the Augustinians, the first medieval religious movement to embrace a generic rule derived directly from the Gospels as well as rigorous and moderate variants of daily life style. The next was the Cistercians, who sought to return to the letter and spirit of St. Benedict's rule. Their quest for purity and escape from the world led them to flee to the outer edges of Western Europe and consequently to develop these lands, a major social contribution. Southern sees the Franciscan and Dominican moments of the thirteenth century respectively as the Cistercian and Augustinian reforms for this later era of European society. Southern's penultimate chapters is devoted to what he called he called the fringe orders; today we would think of these in part as the Beguines and the multitude of spontaneous mystical and devotional movements associated with the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. His final chapter, "A Confusion of Tongues," continues his account of spiritual diversification leading to early Protestant thought and practice. The tenor of this book is what one would expect of the relaxed scholar/gentleman unfolding his description of this age with a profound but understandable style. He shares a lifetime of scholarship in an inviting way to those entering the Middle Ages for the first time.

Excellent treatment of a narrow subject: how society shaped the church
Format: Paperback
This book is not a comprehensive overview of the church from 700-1500, nor is it a narrative treatment or an introduction. This book is highly selective, focusing on one central theme. Its strengths are in its organization and in the examples it gives to illustrate its theme. These examples are concrete, vivid and use quotations from original documents to excellent effect. The theme of the book is how society shaped the church. Southern examines the main institutions of the church -- the papacy, bishops, religious orders and fringe orders -- and shows how the needs and interests of society molded each. Perhaps having written on 1000-1200 in other books, for me, the strongest insights Southern makes here are on the periods 750-1000 and 1200-1500. Insights that particularly struck me: the importance of magic from 750-1000; the evolution of bishops, from supporting local rulers to supporting the pope; the importance of the Augustinian canons in the twelfth century, seeing them as one end of a pole, with the Cistercians on the other end and the Benedictines in the middle; the role of Franciscans and Dominicans in supporting scholars in the thirteenth century; and the fringe orders -- the book has one of the best treatments of the Brethren of the Common Life from the fourteenth century that I have come across. The book is highly selective. There is no treatment in this book on intellectual life (the "new learning") or artistic life, nor is there much on the heresies of the period or popular religion (the "new piety"). What the book does select to treat, it does so in a deep, highly readable, substantial way. One will definitely come away with how the demands of society molded the church. Highly recommended!!
