Introducing the Cintia knizei, a rare cactus plant that belongs to the family Asparagaceae.  Cintia, discovered in 1996, is a recent cactus species with large, tuberous roots that barely rise above the ground. It is similar in appearance to Copiapoa or Eriosyce but is widely accepted as rare. However, some have lumped it under the genus Rebutia, a treatment used in The New Cactus Lexicon, which has been criticized. Cintia bears yellow flowers from new areoles at the top of the plant, similar to Copiapoa.  

Depending on the season, amount of sun, and water, the stems' color can change from olive-green to purple or brown. The roots resemble carrots and can reach a length of 4 inches. Sunken between the tubercles, the areoles are fuzzy and lack spines. The globose stem can grow up to 2 inches in diameter and are usually solitary, but they can also produce offsets or "pups" over time.  It makes a great addition to a rock garden or container and looks great mixed in with low-growing flowering plants like yuccas and agaves. 

The Cintia Kinzei have a thick taproot and are of difficult cultivation and rot-prone because of great sensitivity to the excess of watering, It is not easy to get to any large size on their own roots really a challenge to grow into a large clump. In order to prevent root issues and facilitate growth, they are frequently grafted. 

The flowers of the Cintia knizei bloom in the spring or summer with delicate, star-shaped flowers on long stalks that rise above the rosettes. The flowers are usually pale pink or lavender in color, and they add a lovely contrast to the silver-gray leaves.  

When it comes to care, Cintia knizei is a relatively low-maintenance cactus plant. It is suited for sunny-brightly exposure, can tolerate partial shade, and prefers . Like most succulents, it's important not to overwater your cactus plant. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. This Cintia knizei cactus can tolerate a range of temperatures, but it's best to keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 65°F to 80°F. 

When grown indoors, Cintia knizei can be kept as a potted plant or included in succulent arrangements. It can also be grown outdoors in regions with a mild climate. You can grow it outdoors in USDA zones 9 to 11. However, it's always a good idea to provide some protection in extremely cold temperatures to prevent frost damage. 

For humidity, your Cintia knizei is suited for airy exposures. To accommodate its tap root, it requires a deep pot with good drainage. It is very cold-resistant as low as 14° F or less for short periods of time. Give this Cintia knizei cactus a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
