Introducing the Yucca queretaroensis which is a striking succulent plant native to the Mexican states of Queretaro and Guanajuato. This yucca species is a visually appealing addition to gardens and landscapes due to its unique characteristics. It is commonly referred to as the Queretaro Yucca due to its origin in the region of Queretaro, Mexico.


A single-stemmed upright plant with a thick trunk that grows to be 12 feet tall and has old leaves lying flat in a neat skirt.

The trunks' tops display bright green, narrow, square, 24-inch long, rounded leaves, less than 1/8 inch wide, and radiating outwards like a rounded head of hair.

The leaves have a distinctive powdery coating that adds to the plant's ornamental appeal.

The flowers of Yucca queretaroensis bloom in summer with tall branching flower spikes that can reach up to 8 feet in height.

The flowers are bell-shaped and creamy white, creating a striking contrast against the plant's blue-green foliage. The blooms are fragrant and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the plant's ecological value in the garden. 

Propagation of Yucca queretaroensis is commonly done through seeds or offsets. Seeds can be collected from mature seed pods and sown in well-draining soil. The plant can also produce offsets, or "pups," around the base, which can be carefully separated and replanted to propagate new plants. Yucca queretaroensis is a slow-growing plant, so patience is key when waiting for new plants to establish and grow. 

Watering Needs 

The Yucca queretaroensis has specific watering needs to thrive. It is adapted to arid conditions, so it's essential not to overwater it. When watering your Yucca queretaroensis, make sure to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which can harm the plant. It's generally better to underwater than overwater Yucca queretaroensis to prevent issues with its health. 

To determine when to water your Yucca queretaroensis, you can check the soil moisture level by inserting your finger into the soil. If the top few inches of the soil are dry, it's usually a good time to water.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water more frequently, but in the dormant season of fall and winter, reduce watering to mimic its natural conditions. Additionally, using well-draining soil can help prevent waterlogging and ensure the roots have the right balance of moisture and air. 

When watering your Yucca queretaroensis, watering deeply but infrequently is essential. This encourages the plant's roots to grow deeper into the soil, making it more resilient to drought conditions. Remember that Yucca queretaroensis is drought-tolerant, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering than overwatering. By following these watering guidelines and understanding the plant's natural habitat, you can help your Yucca queretaroensis thrive and stay healthy. 

Light Requirements

When grown indoors, it's essential to place your Yucca queretaroensis in a spot where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight. This plant thrives in well-lit areas but should be protected from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Placing it near a window that receives ample sunlight can help ensure it gets the light it needs to flourish indoors. 

For outdoor cultivation, Yucca queretaroensis prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours a day. It's best to position the plant in a location where it can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. This ensures that the plant gets the necessary light for photosynthesis and overall health. In regions with hot climates, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from intense sunlight and heat stress. By understanding the light needs of Yucca queretaroensis, both indoors and outdoors, you can create an environment that promotes its growth and vitality.

In terms of fertilizer, Yucca queretaroensis generally does not require frequent fertilization. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your plant with a balanced (5-10-5), NPK fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant. Fertilize your Yucca queretaroensis sparingly to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth without causing nutrient build-up in the soil. Additionally, using a slow-release fertilizer can help provide a steady nutrient supply over an extended period. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, Yucca queretaroensis thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 60-80°F. It's essential to avoid sudden temperature fluctuations and drafts, as these can stress the plant. Maintaining moderate humidity levels around 30-50% can also benefit the plant, especially in drier indoor environments. Using a humidifier or placing a pebble tray filled with water near the plant can help increase humidity levels. 

For outdoor cultivation, Yucca plant is well-suited for hardiness zones 9-11, where temperatures remain above freezing. This plant can tolerate a wide range of temperatures but prefers warm conditions. In outdoor settings, it's important to protect the plant from frost and freezing temperatures, as these can damage or kill the plant. Additionally, Yucca queretaroensis thrives in arid to semi-arid climates with low to moderate humidity levels. Adequate air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in more humid environments. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Yucca queretaroensis is a stunning plant known for its striking appearance with long, sword-shaped leaves and tall, architectural growth. When caring for Yucca queretaroensis, it's essential to provide well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and infrequent watering to prevent issues like root rot. Regularly inspecting for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects can help maintain the plant's health. With proper care and attention to its needs, Yucca queretaroensis can thrive and bring a touch of desert beauty to any space.

After all, chidren are good inside.
Format: Kindle
Parenting is about how parents treat their kids. One important aspect of what counts for good parenting is how we face the kids’ negative behaviors. When we were children, our parents did not respect our emotional needs. They only scolded us when we were naughty. After we become parents, we treat our kids the way our parents treated us. Dr Becky proposes in this book, contrary to what our parents thought, children are all good inside and thus we should treat children’s bad behaviors as if their misbehaviors are signs that they don’t know how to express their needs. With this assumption, there are three implications for parenting. First, as children are good inside, what they do outside should not be our focus. Whether it is emotional tantrums, not listening, aggressive tantrums, sibling rivalry, rudeness and defiance, whining, lying, food habits, parents should not pay too much attention to it. Instead, parents should see the cause that contributes to the resulting negative behavior. Take whining as an example. Whining, according to a Cambridge dictionary, means ‘to make a long, high, sad sound’. As parents we are easily annoyed by whining and we quickly think that kids are disrespectful. In Dr Becky’s view, whining=strong desire+powerlessness. Children whine because they feel helpless and ‘indicate they feel alone and unseen in their desires’ (p.188), rather than because they are arrogant. What does this imply? Do we have to give in, knowing that they are desperate for connection and feeling powerful? The answer is no. Dr Becky said ‘while our job as parents is to make decisions that we feel are right for our kids even in the face of protest, we can still practice understanding and connecting’. While saying no, which they probably know they do need, at the same time we can give them the sympathy they also need. Thinking that kids are bad inside often leads to power struggles or arguments when we request them to request in an appropriate tone again. Kids are good inside, and thus we should focus our attention on how to respond to their helplessness rather than their whines. Secondly, not only should we not focus on their outside behavior, we should also be aware that what is on the surface often contrasts with what the kid feels inside. One of the most-feared emotions we are afraid to see children have is anger, also known as tantrums. When children are angry, they display undesirably violent behaviors such as hitting others. Dr Becky points out that they hit not because they are angry, but because they are scared. When we adults are afraid, we may also kill people if we are irrational. Children have not yet developed their prefrontal cortex which is responsible for logic and language, and so the most severe reaction they can possibly express is through tantrums. We may wonder why children are afraid: they are “terrified of the sensations, urges, and feelings coursing inside their body” (p.158) such as frustration and anxiety. These feelings which adults are used to feel scary to kids. Naming the right emotion is the first step to solving the problem and helping kids to cope with it. Only after we identify correctly the emotion the children are experiencing can we as parents exert the right method to deal with the out-of-control behavior. Clearly we know reprimanding our kids is not correct because “they are good inside”. To stop the kid's aggressive tantrums effectively, parents should assert their authority. Parents should show the confidence that they are in charge of the situation. Then, the next critical step is to maintain the kid's safety. Regardless of how the kid feels, the parent should stop the dangerous behavior the kid is engaging in, which Dr Becky calls containment. She says it best: “kids don’t feel good when they are out of control”. That we assert our authority and contain even though kids are not happy on the surface is an act of love, maturity, and responsibility. If we don't, not only will it cause injury, it will make children think we evade responsibility, thus making them feel more overwhelmed. To conclude, as parents we need to know our roles and our kids’ roles. Our job is to keep our children safe, both physically and psychologically. We need to remember that a gap exists between kids’ abilities to feel and their abilities to regulate their feelings, and the gap manifests as deregulated behavior. While it is children’s job to explore and express their feelings, it is our job to help them regulate them by setting physical boundaries, validating their emotions, and being empathetic to their feelings. We are our kids’ role models. We are demonstrating to our kids the emotion regulation skills. As our kids are allowed to shout and protest because they are doing their jobs, we are also allowed to upset them when we set boundaries. We just need to remember that to do our job well, we must learn to connect with and understand them more because after all, children are good inside.

Good read
Very good basic subjective author. Some modern therapist offer a different perspective on rewards and child behavior, but to be expected in academia. As with any behavioral psychology observable or behavioral science documents - measure the subjective amount against the scientific controlling evidence being offerred. If no evidence - it is just subjective opinion.

Not JUST a Parenting Book
Format: Hardcover
Good Inside and Dr. Becky are everything the world needs now. A strong, sturdy perspective that truly, wholeheartedly believes in the good inside us all. That is truly not cheap talk. It. is. the. real. deal. This book is a parenting book that covers big picture philosophical understandings of parenthood AND the more practical, day-to-day implementation of said philosophies. Dr. Becky is incredible about explaining the underlying reasons for why kids do what they do and why WE respond as we do and then she talks us through exactly how to apply the "most generous interpretation" so that we can do better for the next generation AND for ourselves. Good Inside is also a REparenting book and a leadership book. She will teach you how to show up for the realness of your own life for yourself and for the kids that you love most dearly. Truly, there is not a better way to spend your money. Maybe go ahead and stock up on highlighters and your favorite pens too because, if you're like me, you will be highlighting and underlining left and right. It's truly that game-changing. Get ready to finally understand your job description as a parent and your kids' job descriptions as wonderful, little growing humans in the world. And if you yourself need healing from your own childhood, this will open the door for that too. I know that you, dear Amazon review reader, do not know me but I am not really prone to hyperbole. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to say that Dr. Becky and Good Inside is game-changing. This purchase is truly an investment in yourself and the kind of parent and person you want to be and an investment in your kids and their future.

Good advice overall
Format: Paperback
This is an interesting read to help with your child’s self esteem and behavior. The first several chapters on the psychology behind behavior were more helpful and interesting than the second half of the book that addresses specific behaviors. Also, if you follow Dr Becky on social media, most of her advice is already in her content. However, I’m glad I read this book, even it wasn’t life changing.

So incredibly helpful with sensitive kiddo
Format: Hardcover
This book has been so, so wonderfully helpful, my husband jokes it’s now my bible. Kiddo went from like 10-20 meltdowns a day to only a couple, and those are resolved in like a tenth of the time. I feel so much less frustrated and more connected, and able to handle it when he does dysregulate in a way that makes me proud. It’s also honestly been healing for me as a child of loving parents who nonetheless didn’t learn all this stuff and did a lot of invalidating and shaming. It’s great theory and very easily digestible and applicable practice combined. I wish I’d found it 3 years sooner and I can’t recommend it enough.
