Hope, I didn't meant to alarm you! LOL... It may not be that at all. But I always check my plants when the leaves don't look right...just in case. And since you just brought this baby home, a thorough inspection wouldn't hurt. To check for spider mites, here's a simple, quick method: Place a blank, white piece of paper under a leaf of your plant and shake, shake, shake or tap, tap, tap the selected foliage. Small specks of dust and debris will fall onto the paper. Get up close and personal with the fallen debris on the paper and watch carefully (make sure the lighting is good where you view the sheet). Dust and dirt donÂt move but mites do! If spider mites are present, you will see tiny specks moving across the paper. Check more than one leaf, even healthy ones, to make sure your plant is mite-free. This simple but useful method is a technique that helps detect the presence of mites that canÂt be otherwise seen by the naked eye. You can also check the plantÂs leaves, stems, axils, etc, for fine webbing, which is a sure sign of mite infestation. Again, this is just a precaution! And it's good to rule out any pests for your plant's sake.

Stevia - add to iced tea in small quantities. It's an artificial sweetener. Rosemary - I roast small potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. At the end stir in some chopped rosemary and garlic. Delicious! Basil - I use it in salad with tomatoes. Someone mentioned pesto. It can be frozen in little blocks - bringing some summer taste to winter meals. Thai basil can be added to vegetables stir fried with garlic and ginger. Parsley - it can be added to pesto. I also really like tabouleh which is a salad with tomatoes, bulgar (wheat), onions, lemon, olive oil... Another salad I like has watermelon, parsley, mint, red onion, black olives, lime, olive oil and feta. Dill - pickles obviously. My mom has been obsessively making gravlox with tons of dill. I also like making either as a cold soup or salad - cucumbers, dill, yogurt, green onions, lemon.

I would love a gold/amber glass so I am sad your husband nixed it. I would prefer a higher than 5" matching splash with a cap. I also think there are some interesting ways to use the matching granite and not be tied to standard 5" Cant remember if you can use your glass sink as a vessel?

The first 2 plants need to be watered when the top inch of the soil is dry. The second two are Aloe and Gasteria, they need to dry a little bit more before watering them. As Karen mentioned, don't splash water in the plant as it can rot the crown of the plant ( the water doesn't evaporate fast enough in the nooks where the water will settle and can cause rot). Best practice for watering is to water till excess water drains out the bottom drain hole. Never allow the pot to sit in water for more than say 15 minutes, pour off all the excess water. Light: first two need bright indirect light, the second two want some direct sun to full sun. But remember when placing a plant into direct sunlight, it must be acclimated to full sun. Plants not in direct sun will sun burn if placed into full sun to quickly. Acclimate by placing in direct sun light for short periods and increasing the length of exposure as the plant gets used to the stronger light. Never be afraid to ask questions, everyone here is friendly and helpful. Always use common sense when accepting advise.
