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.

Highly recommended!
“How people Change” is the second best book I have read this year (the first being “The Gospel according to Jesus” by John MacArthur). There is indeed a “gospel gap” (as the authors call it) among Bible-believing Christians today. We believe the gospel for our past forgiveness and future hope, but often forget that the gospel applies to present everyday living as well. They focus our problem on heart idolatry - we have replaced Christ with something else! They put it this way – “The heart is the steering wheel of every human being. Everything we do is shaped and controlled by what our hearts desire. That is why the Bible is very clear that God wants our hearts. Only when God has your heart does he have you. As much as we are affected by our broken world and the sins of others against us, our greatest problem is the sin that resides in our hearts. That is why the message of the gospel is that God transforms our lives by transforming our hearts.” And again, “Even though life is hard, it is not the hardships that cause us to respond as we do. Our responses are shaped by the thoughts and motives of our hearts (Heb. 4:12).” The authors also remind us that in Christ and His gospel, we have a new record, a new power and are set free from the enslaving power of sin. They write, “With the new record and new power we have received, we are set free from the enslaving power of sin and the condemnation of the law. We are dead to the world and we have power over the Evil One who tempts us with worldly Christ-replacements. We don’t have to be controlled by them anymore! We are now free to live, act, think, and believe in new and surprising ways.” The authors also remind us of our marriage or union to Christ, and how God designed heart change to take place in the context of community (the church) – something we conveniently ignore in our mostly individualistic culture! The latter part of the book focuses on four themes: Heat, Thorns, Cross and Fruit. “Heat” is the pressures of everyday life and includes blessings, temptations and difficulties. “Thorns” is the ungodly response to the daily situations of life. “Cross” is the resources available in Christ to every believer. “Fruit” is the Godly response to the situation resulting from God’s work in the heart. With sharp Biblical insight and relevant everyday stories, the authors present a mirror in front of our souls, so that we see the hope & power of Christ and His gospel for everyday living. Heart change is possible! Read this book and apply its truths! I hope to do the same.

Lasting change
Format: Paperback
What does it take for lasting change to take root in your life? This is the question Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp tackle in the book. Both are biblical counselors and faculty at CCEF (Christian Counseling and Education Foundation - maybe the best biblical counseling group out there). Paul Tripp is also a pastor at Tenth Pres in Philadelphia. The authors believe that in the lives of many believers (and a whole lot of churches) there is a "gospel gap." Many Christians are ineffective and unproductive because they see the good news of the gospel as the means of cleansing their past sins, and the way to be assured of a future hope. But they forget the power of the gospel to change their life in the hear and now. Lane and Tripp use Jeremiah 17:5-10 as the source for their dominant metaphor for life change. This passage gives us a view of life that involves four elements. 1. Heat - This is the person's situation in daily life, with difficulties, blessings, and temptations. 2. Thorns - This is the person's ungodly response to the situation. It includes behavior, the heart driving the behavior, and the consequences that result. 3. Cross - This focuses on the presence of God in his redemptive glory and love. Through Christ, he brings comfort, cleansing, and the power to change. 4. Fruit - This is the person's new godly response to the situation resulting from God's power at work in the heart. It includes behavior, the heart renewed by grace, and the harvest of consequences that follow. Each chapter has large sections of careful explanation of biblical passages. Lane and Tripp also use real life examples from their counseling and church ministry to illustrate the point. It's both theological and practical. It's a great book for those who do counseling, or even just general discipleship. It's a good book for those wanting to better understand the process of sanctification, and how they themselves can grow. I'm looking forward to looking through the curriculum based on the book, and see if we can find a venue to use it in our church. Highly recommended!

Helpful but could be a little shorter
Format: Kindle
Disclaimer: I’ve read the Study Guide version and completed the Biblical Counseling training by City-to-City which went through the model prior to reading this book. Personally I think this could be a very helpful introduction to people who are new to the model of biblical change. The book is full of explanations and examples which make the model practical. However, I found the book a little too repetitive, and I felt like it could be a lot shorter than it is now. Any how, this book provides a very practical model that could benefit your ministry and help you in your personal growth. If you’re looking for something to go through with your small group, I actually recommend going straight forward to the Study Guide which sufficiently provides all the descriptions and examples needed.

Real Practical Biblical Christianity Explained.
Format: Paperback
This is truly an awesome book and a must have for every believe in Jesus Christ. No Christian home should be without this book. Tripp and Lane have done an excellent job in writing this book. This is NOT another self help book. This book begins with Christ and focuses on Christ all the way. In this book, Tripp and Lane answer the question that serious Christians have been asking for some time, "why is the life style of professing Christians not different from that of their unsaved neighbors?" The answer according to Tripp and Lane is because most professing Christians have a huge gap in their understanding of the gospel. In their words "Often there is a vast gap in our grasp of the gospel. It subverts our identity as Christians and our understanding of the present work of God. This gap undermines every relationship in our lives, every decision we make and every attempt to minister to others." They go on to say that because the gospel gap in our lives must be filled, "If we do not live with a gospel-shaped, Christ-confident and change-committed Christianity, that hole will get filled with other things. These things may seem plausible and even biblical, but they will be missing the identity-provision process core that is meant to fill every believer." Some of the things on the list will surprise you. Using lots of case studies (real life examples with names changed), Tripp and Lane go on to show us how real change can happen in our lives and what it will look like as it is happening. This book is on its way to becoming a true Christian classic. Reading level: ages 18 and up

The most practical Christian book I've ever read!
Format: Paperback
I found this book on a whim from a comment a review on Amazon. And I'm so thankful that God lead me to it. Are you tired of reading Christian authors who just recite a bunch of trite, spiritual platitudes? I was. So many Christian authors nowadays lay out elaborate, idealistic metaphors about how we should be living our lives. They use flowery rhetoric to inspire. But they don't tell you practically or biblically how you can change your life to reflect these ideals. Until I read this book, I hadn't found an author who could provide direct application of the Scriptures to my circumstances. This book does that and more. My main takeways from the book are 1) How a person reacts to his/her circumstances is a direct reflection of his/her heart and 2) Change in how you react to the circumstances or "thorns" in your life ultimately depends on heart transformation by Christ. All too often, our natural inclination or reaction is to blame others for what we are going through, be it our spouse, God, a co-worker, etc. How often do we turn the microscope inward? Rarely. The reality is life is hard. You will have trials. How YOU choose to respond to the trials is the key. So often, preachers and books call for specific modifications in behavior such as memorizing Scripture, avoiding temptations, etc. Of course these modifications are not bad in and of themselves, but they do not provide lasting change. If you do not believe that the Bible is the ultimate Word of God, then this book is not for you. The entire book is bathed in Scripture. Not just snippets, but big chunks with full application and analysis. Another unique aspect of the book, is that the author fills the book with numerous real life examples that you can relate to. In other Christian books I've read, the author may give you one or two isolated examples, which are so unique that nobody can relate to them. Perhaps you won't relate to all of the examples in this book, but I guarantee that at least two or three of them will hit home. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all people who are wondering how they can change themselves for the better using Scripture as the basis for their change.
