Comments (5)Bulbs are prone to rot when the drainage is not adequate, and the soil holds too much moisture for too long. To combat this, use clay pots with drainage holes, and for medium, use a very porous bonsai mix, or something close to it. Only water when the soil around the root ball is dry. The easy way to check for moisture is to grab a package of bamboo skewers from your local grocery store, gently insert one in each pot, pointed end into the soil toward the center of the pot on an angle, and pull it out every once in a while to test for moisture. Press the skewer gently to your cheek, and if it feels cool and damp, don't water. Wait until the skewer comes out normal and dry. Hippeastrum bulbs needs lots of light, so place them in south or east windows, where they'll get plenty of sunshine. It wouldn't hurt to use supplemental lighting, at about 16-18 hours a day, with a rest in the dark the other hours. Feeding is easy... either use a liquid houseplant fertilizer mixed with the water, or sprinkle a little time release plant food on top of the soil. Osmocote is a good brand, just follow the directions for houseplants. Keep in mind that a "green thumb" is nothing more than applied knowledge... read about the basics for Hippeastrum culture, and just care for them as the information states. These bulbs can take a bit of abuse, as long as it isn't over-watering. More bulbs are killed with kindness than with neglect. So, if you're not sure a bulb needs water, it's best to wait a bit. I hope this helps... I just grow mine as houseplants, and they bloom every spring....See MoreHelp Me Choose..Don't know what to do?? See Pic
Comments (6)Our kitchen/breakfast room is open to the great room. Separate DR at front of house. As you can sort of see in the pictures linked below (look at #2 and #3), the travertine is in the kitchen/breakfast room (also back hall to laundry room, and to pantry, powder room and sunroom). We have wood in the rest of the main level rooms and it begins at the kitchen/great room and our cedar posts. In your plan, it seems the best thing to do is stone in kitchen/dining room and change to wood at columns into great room. I would also keep stone to front door, into your pantry area and powder room. Here is a link that might be useful: my kitchen...See MoreI don't know about y'all, but I've grown a bit weary...
Comments (16)I think getting a wii is a great idea! While she's tending 8 babies, she can plug in the wii and tell the six kids to bowl, hula hoop, or some sport. They need to keep busy! I can't imagine she's buying it for her own use, at least not daily. Unless she's super woman. It's going to be mega tough taking care of 8 babies but 8 toddlers plus six others would make me lose my mind. I hope she has some help. yea, I'm tired of hearing about it all too....See MoreNeed help with roof framing ASAP - my framers don't know what to do
Comments (6)This is only the first in a series of skills challenges that you will be facing on such an ambitious project. I have some concerns as to whether you have done your due diligence with the framers that you hired. As well as the design plans that you had created. They don't seem to posess the basic skills needed for the job. And you seem to be in over your head. Perhaps you should talk with some General Contractors in order to get you to a dried in stage with all of the plumbing and electrical roughs completed. Perhaps the bank financing the loan or the local permit office could provid you with some names to interview. Good luck!...See Moreamyfiddler
