UPDATE: I've just learned that chenille plants don't come true from seeds, only cuttings. I will still send them if you want but I wanted you to know that first! :-)

Hello there and I hope my advice will be of some help in your question! As for me I have chance evergreen , and dieffenbachia plants at home I have them now for about 1 year, and at first I had the same problem because of to much water I was giving the and also I kept them next to my peace Lilly's which I most with a spray bottle and the I moved them away on there Owen and as time went on I knew the water spraying was wrong they both cant have water touch there leafs and the other was I drop back on watering them , to much water make the leafs to leak out water with the sap the have be careful and another try organic soil it works great. Good Luck hope this works

Hi - thanks for the info John and msgreatdeals. I went onto HD website and Lowe's site too, and I found the info about the $ off, 50% off finishes, and free kitchen base with order of 10+ cabinets. I sent these to my KD to see if they are honoring them. It turns out that the deals they are offering are store deals, not cabinet manufacturer deals. My KD contacted her KM rep, and was told that they will be offering the 50% off the finishes starting on 5/8. That is good news for me because I am selecting painted cabinets, so it's a savings of 7.5% on everything. KD also gave me some good information about how this all works - it seems I cannot price out apples to apples with her price vs. big box store because the BB stores contract for a lower per box price with the cabinet manufacturers, but their prices on molding, trim, toekick, brackets, specialty inserts, etc., are much higher. So, she gave me a price on one piece of molding so I could price it with a BB and see. Over $2k of my cost is in the moldings and accessories. She did not mention a price hike on 5/4 - I would assume her KM sales person would have said something about it - so again, this may be a BB vs. other dealer thing. Lynne

We are wondering how hard it would be and expensive to clean up all the used cups, holders ect and re pour new high grade scented candles back in to sell as new reconditioned? Difficulty is rather subjective. How difficult to clean up the holders? IMO, not very. Time consuming, yes, difficult no. Much of the wax can be removed by heating the container up just enough to melt the wax so it can be poured out. Then while the wax residue in the jar is still molten wipe the jar out with a rag. Obviously proper safety precautions like ovenmitts or tongs need to be employed. If you do an online search, you will find a number of good sites that go over how to safely heat wax such as use of a double boiler. Additional wax residue can usually be removed after the container has cooled by using a solvent such as Goo-Gone. As far as expense, that too varies. The wax from the old candles can be recycled. I find an array of small butter tubs (or similar) to work well for this. As waxes are melted the colors can then poured into the various containers to be kept separate. Once the wax has cooled completely (a freezer or the great outdoors if you live in a temperate zone that is currently experiencing temps in the 50's or below works great -- colder the better), the wax can usually be "popped" out of the container not unlike icecubes out of an icecube tray. The wax can then be bagged up by color to be pulled out for melting as needed. Many of the wicks may even be reuseable to some extent. If a wick has been partially burned, snip off the burned portion and use the wick in a shorter candle container. Clean cans from soup or canned fruit and such, can be used as melting pots for the waxes. Old pots can be used for the water bath of the double boiler. I use a cheap second hand electric skillet/pan to server as my water bath portion. Cheap second hand cooling racks will be needed for freshly poured candles to cool upon. So far, quite cheap, yes? Now the more expensive stuff: additional wax if needed wicks and tabs fragrances if desired dyes Note: Wax from pillar candles does not make good wax for poured scented candles. Scented candles require a wax with a low melting point so a large melt pool can form as this is how the scent is released. You can, however, blend the pillar wax with soy wax in 50/50 ratio or better a 25/75 ratio and get satisfactory results. Wicks and wick tabs are usually very cheap (like 100 tabs for about $2, can't remember wick prices but they tend to be very cheap too). Fragrances will be the most expensive items if you choose to use those. Do not go to craft stores such as Michael's for scents. IME, they tend to be far more expensive and often of lower quality than those offered at dedicated candle supply store. If you have a store near you, go and check out their offerings. If not, there are some decent online stores. Prices are often about $2.50/oz and you will generally need 1-1.5oz of fragrance oil per pound of wax to get a decent scented candle. Dyes can be purchased as concentrated solid wax blocks/pieces or as liquids. DO NOT try to use food coloring! Food coloring is a water based dye and water and wax do not mix. Dyes will be cheaper than the fragrances as they go a lot farther. Again, as with fragrances, the dyes from a candle supply store will gnerally be far cheaper and better quality than that at a hobby store. There are a number of waxes available. Soy is one of the most popular. No matter what wax you decide to go with (assuming you need to buy more), candle supply stores will be a better deal than a hobby store. At a supply store I recently visited, I got 5 lbs of soy wax for about $9. Make sure you have a digital scale for weighing out the wax and fragrances -- guess work is So hit or miss (and usually miss).
