Ehretia buxifolia loosing its leaves
Comments (5)The least thing you should worry about is fertilizing (especially in winter). If you normally use just a balanced one made for house plants, about every 2 weeks in spring and summer, monthly in the fall and winter, that should be enough. Are you sure you have killed all the mites? Until they're gone, I would not worry about fertilizer! Mites are attracted by dry conditions, and Fukien tea (Ehretia/Carmona microphylla) need a very humid environment as they are from the tropics. You should have a tray of rocks under the pot, with water in the tray, but never allow the water to touch the pot (or you could rot roots). Also, your soil mix is good for trees like pines, maples, even succulents, but tropical plants need more soil in there to hold more water, so cut the Turface right out I think, and add more soil, use the humidity tray (make sure it's nice and wide). Wash all the foliage with water, then use a mix of water and 1-2 drops of dish soap (detergent) in a spray, followed by another one in a week. If you keep up the humidity, you should have better luck with mites. Do water (from above, not in the sink) when the top of the soil is dry (every ~2 days)....See MoreTile over SunTouch mat, loose grout
Comments (13)I appreciate the efforts and advice from you folks. I really do. You guys are wonderful to provide your professional expertise to all of these homeowner questions and pleas for help. Kudos. This is what happens when a house gets finished without a supervisor on site to watch the subs everyday. I think the worst is now discovered...we knew about the plumbers from the beginning and I was concerned about the two tile installers as they looked to be about 16 years old! The tile installation owner has a gorgeous showroom and the interior designer (with our builder) used them as a sole source. Window dressing, I'd say.

Comments (97)Jmith, Everyone loads varies from type of fabrics to water temperatures. My loads is all over the place where I can wash my king size flat/fitted and 4 king pillow case with a king size fleece cover in one load to two bathroom mats in one load. Weighing fabrics does nothing but causes extra unnecessary step in doing laundry. Once you do several large or extra large load, the machine will let you how much you can fill the machine without over loading. If anybody over load this machine will notice how long it take for the load to balance for the spin cycle! I'm a older WT Lux user.........See MoreMy Home Goods Score!
Comments (18)You know I think that all of those stores go through certain bi or quarterly yearly slumps. I'm still trying to figure out the cycle. Sometimes they're down and out for awhile and then BAM! they have great stuff (and rotating great stuff) for a few months. I tend to haunt one of my local Marshall's because they still have layaway (my life line to decorating!). Luckily (or not) I have 2 Marshalls, 2 Home Goods, 1 TJ Maxx, the King Of Prussia Mall and Target w/in 5-20 minutes of me. We had a TM but it closed. Got a great telescope there that we haul out on a regular basis still, yrs. later. Unfortunately HG and TJ Maxx will be gearing up for Fall, Halloween and Christmas soon. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I still have my annual July Christmas trip to the Flower and Craft Warehouse in Blue Ball PA. Highly recommend at any time of the yr. if you are in that area for sooooo many things including home decorating - fantastic prices if you don't mind things that aren't of superior quality but still look good. Trailrunner - the black ceiling is phenomenal! Dh still isn't sure, DS1 loves it and had the best suggestion for it (he's 5 but out f the mouths of babes): I bought flat paint and you can see the 'brush' marks even after a few coats. I'm going to do a final coat w/ a roller to see if that helps. DS1 suggested that it be a gloss finish and I thin he's absolutely right. I thought that a lacquer would be amazing and in fact when I'd painted our DR black at one time I though that a shiny finish would be awesome. Anyway - that's another story for about 2wks from now when I post final pics (rather almost final - accessories and all you know!) of the downstairs....See Moreteacats
