I agree with Cody. Drosera Spatulata is a really easy plant. Mine are in a west picture window. Keep it in a water tray with about 3/4" of DISTILLED or RAINWATER only. The propagate really easy from leaf cuttings, the new plant will come out of the center of the cut leaf.

Its the sun dews they won't bend over the bugs, they won't move... its deff dew its sticky the bugs have a hard time getting away.. but they just drag there bodies down the tentacles. They are obviously eating them whether they wrap around or not, but they DON'T trap the bug and it eventually get away. My plants are outside on a Sun porch that gets full Sun all on cloudyover cast dadays i put the cf day light bulb or the indeincandescent lighting system on them. I'll post pictures to try and show YOU what i mean

PJ, exactly! It might dip to freezing for a short while tonight. It would be nice if it was enough to send the aphids to aphid heaven or at least to cause the pecan leaves to drop. Problems like this are why pecan trees aren't recommended for shade trees where they are native. Too many pests. My tree was very small and looked more like a bonsai when we moved here, even though it was probably 20 years old. The big flower bed I built around it caused it to get enough water and nutrition to grow tall, but it doesn't get the thousands of gallons of water it would need to produce a good crop of pecans.

While looking at the above government link, I notice San Jose, CA, has high sodium (Na) in their tap. My sister there has high blood pressure, while my blood pressure is low. But my risk of heart attack is higher than her, see below excerpt from WebMD "Higher doses of calcium increase the chance of having serious side effects. Some recent research also suggests that doses over the recommended daily requirement of 1000-1300 mg daily for most adults might increase the chance of heart attack. " http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-781-CALCIUM.aspx?activeIngredientId=781&activeIngredientName=CALCIUM Also see http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/256791.php "The finding came from a new study by a team of experts led by Qian Xiao, from the National Institutes of Health, and supports prior research from last year which indicated that calcium supplements are linked to a higher risk of heart attack." UPDATE: Bought 3 different brands of cherry juice to see if they help with sleep. Trader's Joe cherry juice is too sour & bitter. Indian Summer cherry juice is too watery. Neither of these help with my sleep. The cherry juice that helped was one from nearby Wisconsin (1 hour away) ... its FRESHNESS was what worked. In my experience, FRESH grapefruit works better than STALE cherry juice that was cooked (pasteurized), which destroyed the enzymes. Here's an excerpt from below link: http://bembu.com/foods-to-help-you-sleep 2. Grapefruit Eating grapefruit before bed has been an old wives’ tale for years, but as it turns out there’s a reason why this has been known to help sleep. It contains lycopene, an antioxidant in the body that has been shown to improve the way you sleep. Grapefruit can also help you lose weight if needed." I also notice that fish oil is very effective for good sleep. I took NOW fish oil, since it's the cheapest & best rated on Amazon, only 14 cents. I'm switching to NOW liquid fish oil, lemon flavor, since I get more Omega-3 per price-unit. Fish oil works when magnesium and cherry juice failed. There's days that I could not sleep, and fish oil did the job when nothing worked. I'm going to try cod-liver oil, to see if that helps with sleep & better skin & my vitamin D deficiency. Will report the result later. Both vitamin A and D is known to help with hormonal imbalance.
