other thread, different picture http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/citrus/msg0510201429447.html If leaves are dropping, we need more images: - the plant overall -the trunk & soil/potting mix. Also need more history; start with these then add what might be important - where growing -- pot or ground - if not, what did you fill it with? 0- watering practices - fert practices Here is a link that might be useful: other thread, different picture, same question

I'm so sorry for you. Please know that your grandmother absolutely is in your life. She's with you, always. You might dream; probably feel her around -- she is! The only thing I can say to substantiate this is -- I know! and will never deviate from my observation and belief because of my own experiences. She has gone on to a really good place, and you are in her thoughts and well wishes. Open up your heart to her and know that she does bring love, I'm absolutely certain.

Thank you all for your comments! And thank you RL for the picture mock up. So cool! Your comments have helped us to see things that we easily over looked such as the shutters and black hole that is our front door. Much appreciated and will help us to make improvements to the overall look of our homes exterior. To answer some of your questions ... The function of the window that needs to be replaced is a bedroom. The little window in the leak can definitely be changed to a vent instead. Any suggestions? The lights on either side of the door are brown. Something I have wanted to change - at least painted black? Can I bounce some questions back? Our double front door is wood. Would it be worth the effort to strip the coat of black paint (looks like only one coat) and then stain it, keep it natural? Or just paint it a different colour as suggested. Our brick is more of an orange-red (pictures were taken just before a big storm, everything looks darker). We are grateful for any additional suggestions to improve the overall look of the front exterior of our home. Thanks!

Yes, just ignore those air roots. Make your clipping, let it sit so the end dries up a few hours and then insert it into your new potting mix in a small pot with a hole. You do not need any honey or rooting hormone. Just make the cutting stand up as best you can. You can put more than one in a pot. There are different opinions about when to water. I wait a week or more if the potting mix had any moisture. Water sparingly, but let it run out the bottom. No sips. I would keep the newly planted cuttings wherever their "mother" plant has been. That's the light, air circulation, temperature they are used to. You should definitely repot in the suggested mix. Change it's soil, as you said above. Clean off as much of the old potting mix as possible, and toss it out. Don't use for the cuttings. I hope you can find the 3 components of the mix. At the very least, use the cactus & succulent mix and orchid bark, but if you can find pumice or perlite it will help. I've started some very large cuttings but sometimes just do 2-4 segments as shown in the photo. I could be wrong in the way I start cuttings, even tho' it works. I cut mine as shown on the left below, but in the case of your plant, you might want to gently twist the segment off as shown on the right. That way you'll cause less injury to the segment which stays on the plant. I'm not an expert. Others may chime in to correct me, but the above is what I do.
