Cacti Names and quick question about Hawthoria
Comments (2)I think the 1st pic is a Hylocereus . Its commonly used as a rootstock for grafting other cactus to it. It may be getting sunburned, I have one just like it that is turning red from overexposure to the sun. I always keep an eye out for them in the big chain stores in case they knock down the price just to get rid of them. They are pretty hardy and are an industry standard for grafting....See MoreQuick Christmas cactus question!!
Comments (12)Oh yes! Yhose buds are just developing. Any extreme change in environment will cause those to blast. I would try to mimick what it's use too indoors, or if you think it's doing fine and you know what you are doing, leave it where it's use too and bring it in and put it anywhere you want, when the buds are about the size as Wes pointed out. You could also bring it in just for extreme cold nights and set it back in its spot when it gets a bit warmer. You must be doing something right to get your plant to look so good. When you bring it in for the night, I would only store it in a dark room with no light that goes on at all, and the coolest room you have. Many could not expose theirs to such cold temps without failure, so my hats off to you! Mike...See MoreQuick Question about Yeast Ratio in Bread
Comments (22)Happyday, I agree that you are overproofing your bread, probably. If you let it rise too high it will collapse on itself and you'll get that sunken lump. Ask me how I know. (grin) Ann T, I do bread dough overnight and it's good, I've done it up to two days in the fridge and it's good, but I keep it more than that I it seems to develop a flavor that I find similar to mild sourdough. Elery loves it, so he's always hoping that I don't have time to bake that dough, LOL. jasdip, you won't find a consistent yeast amount in bread recipes. Some have more and some have less, depending on the flavor the originator of the recipe was shooting for and liked. As has been mentioned, bread is simple and forgiving, you can use more yeast or less, you can use whole wheat or white or off brand flour, oil or butter or none, milk, water, coffee, whatever and it will usually come out just fine. I just made a loaf for Elery that took a cup of liquid, I used 3/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of Sriracha sauce, along with a bit of dry mustard and some black pepper. White whole wheat in place of all purpose. He loved it, I'm not even tempted to try it! I had seen a similar recipe on the internet, but I didn't feel like looking it up, so I made it from what passes for my memory and it was still just fine and an absolutely beautiful color.

Comments (3)I'm using Philips dimmable CFL R40 floods with 13-year-old Maestro dimmers, with no buzzing or other problems. The CFL's can't dim as low as incandescents, rather they shut off below some point. Electronic dimmers, some of them anyway, must have a minimum wattage connected to them in order to work properly. Hasn't been an issue in my case because the dimmers are handling four floods, so the total wattage is over 100. I would guess that the special dimmers have a lower minimum wattage compared to regular dimmers. You can dim from multiple locations with special dimmers like Maestro. After 13 years, no one in the house but me has been able to completely understand how to operate them, so I wouldn't recommend them....See More
