Bought a hoya today, now what?
Comments (20)I wouldn't worry if you can't find that violet fertilizer. Though a few people swear by it, I do not recommend it at all. Its 5-50-18 formula has around 30 times more phosphorus than most plants can use, which just unnecessarily increases the mineral concentration in the soil. The goal should be to provide what the plant will use, and nothing more. Any fertilizer with an N:P:K ratio near 3:1:2 would be a good choice. I really like Dyna-Gro's Foliage Pro 9-3-6, but there are plenty of other good choices as well. Miracle Gro's all purpose plant foods (24-8-16 or 12-4-8 depending on solid or liquid) fit the bill. Even a common 10-10-10 formula will work if that's the best you can find. I would just try to avoid extreme formulas like the 5-50-18 mentioned above....See MoreBought my lyre coffee table today - revisiting layout
Comments (47)Thanks squirrel. That is more of less how I had the sofa before. I agree it does not need to be centered. The rule of thumb I've always followed is to either center or put off center to make it look intentional. I'll try playing with the chairs and drum tables. In that pic they are both on the sofa side, though I've been playing around with a few different arrangements. I'm going to leave in about 1 hour for the painting--hope it looks as good IRL as your photoshopped version. Need to know, though, about the console/demilune table as that lady is having a garage sale (and it's kindof on the way), yey or nay..... Not sure if you saw my other thread about art placement and botancial prints I started yesterday. I could really use some help there--about how to display and group the prints since it looks like I'm going to have to go to some expense to frame, I want to do it right....See MorePros and Cons of Buying in todays market
Comments (51)I agree that there ARE people out there who live in houses much longer than the average. In NoNJ both of my neighbors had been in their houses for 10+ years (one for 12 years, the other for 15 years). The couple who'd been there for 12 years plan on staying for at least another six and will think about moving after their son finishes college. The couple who has been there for 15 years will be there another two years and then once the husband retires they will move to Nashville to be near their son who recently got married and settled down in TN. So you are looking at 18 years for one family and 17 years for the other. I'd say that's major longevity! My parents bought their latest house in 1991 and are still there with a plan to be there at least another 3-5 years. Once my dad retires they will move south with an eye on buying acreage to build a house and business on. So that'll be another couple who stayed in a house twenty years. My grandfather stayed in his house for FORTY YEARS and only sold when my grandmother died and he couldn't keep up the house by himself. If she hadn't died I guarantee they would have stayed in that house. In my own instance, my DH and I are planning on living in this current house until our children go to college (they are 3yo and 4yo now). We're already planning some minor renovations (add a bathroom to create guest suite being the major one) knowing that we're going to be here a LONG TIME (read: at least 15 years)....See MoreBought Bhuts at Lowes Today!!! But.......
Comments (6)it is VERY hot here already, 70's at night, in the sun its over 100 already, but 'THEY' say its in the low 80's,weathermen. I cant peel of the pots, the roots are grown through them, and i have been watching videos of people growing Bhuts in pots on YouTube, and they grow them in peat heavy soils. Or just about anything except clay soil. Anything that drains fast, but kept watered all the time. I never understood this, because they come from India...a VERY dry place, and with poor soil. Well i have the poor soil...it is all sand here, nothing in it but sand! IF i pot them up, I can make any mix, or put them in the ground and its all sand, and can amend it. They are outside today, in morning sun to dry them out and see if they burn in the morning sun,already, wont know that till Thurs. By then if the leaves are burned, it will show. Dont know how long they were at Lowes. But 90% of the lot were sold by the time i got there. So...now i have to figure out if they can handle ALL day sun,or only morning sun, or what. Everyone has a different opinion. It is ungodly hot in the sun here...the summer is ghastly hot!!! It is getting there already. Most say to give them only morning sun. But I go back to ,they came from India, a HOT, DRY, poor soil place, so it seems the more you pamper them,the more they grow, but dont bloom or make peppers. And except for that 1 year that I got a few peppers, like 5....and I dont recall how i got them, but they were on 5 foot tall bushes, tons of blooms, but only 5 peppers. So...I have 3 of them, so I can put them in pots and put them i n3 different places,in different sun levels, but they HATE to be transplanted, so if i put them in huge pots now, they are going to be in a lot of WET soil, for a long time. Not to mention the Fert. Most say go light on it, but trim them back a lot ,to make them bushy,instead of tall, so that wind doesn't snap them in half. And it is windy here in the summer storms! It has been windy here for the last 3 days...so...the nest step.pots, or the ground, and where?...See Moreruthieg__tx
