Hello all, I’m looking for some ideas to creatively decorate
Comments (29)How about using it as a chalkboard wall? I like the idea of having the chalkboard framed on the wall so it looks more like a picture than just a whole wall of chaulkboard paint....See MoreHello. I need some informations about this succulent plant.
Comments (7)Oof. That's a good-looking one. It has a lot of things going on, it's hard to say what it is. Possibly Pachypodium rosulatum gracilius but I wouldn't put money on that bet. This one typically has a solid mass of roots when established so I don't know what happened with yours; it could have been over-watered at the wrong time. Malagasy pachypodiums are fairly difficult plants compared with their continental cousins---you will have to keep the substrate humid but not wet. Water it very sparingly (measured in tablespoons) once your weather turns very hot (25C and above), maybe every two weeks depending on how fast moisture evaporates where you are. Do not get tempted to water more, even if it is in full leaf because it will just be feeding off of its stored energy even before it develops enough roots to take in water. Hopefully, I'm wrong with the ID and it's something else from SA. My rooting advise won't be different but your odds of success will be higher....See MorePlease Help!

Comments (12)If you don’t have wiring for a ceiling fixture, and if you would like to have one - a swag plug-in chandelier is an option; they come in lots of styles. This is a colorful one. It seems like you have a view from the kitchen of a substantial part of the sectional. So this would seem to allow you to interact, face to face, with family and friends - plus watch children playing, etc. If current placement works well for you, for sure leave it. The sectional works well. It provides a lot of seating, in one fell swoop, with a streamlined effect. It is not in the way and leaves a lot of room for walking around. It has nice lines, too. Good choice.👌🏼...See Moreideas as to what type of succulents i have here
Comments (14)Coco coir can work quite well for succulent seedlings. They are most likely G. California Sunset or G. Bronze. And they are clustering because you have given them proper conditions to reproduce as well as started with healthy leaves to propagate from. One well-off succulent leaf can produce multiple pups if given the appropriate amount of light as well as watered when roots appear. If you start caring for the pups like normal plants as soon as roots appear, the mother leaf will sometimes remain for months and continue to grow new pups. It's a fun way to add some unique multi-headed specimens to your collection. Most succulents naturally pup or offset, but when grown from a single leaf, it gives a lot of visual interest early on because many of the rosettes are of similar size/age. I quite enjoy the clustered look. You can move them around as much as you want. If you combine all of them into the same pot and want to use coco coir (which there is no problem with, you just have to water appropriately, as you said), I would honestly leave them in a smaller pot. I personally enjoy watering and in a smaller pot the water would be used/evaporate more quickly than if you chose a larger pot. Plus with less space for the roots to colonize, you would most likely see more top growth*. *this is a short-term benefit. As the roots get congested you will see a dropoff in the overall health of any plant. However, since you appear to be in Illinois, this would be something you could do for 3-4 months and watch their growth explode. I do not think this is enough time to see a detriment to the overall vitality/health of any of the plants. Then separate and repot individually in larger pots in May. This is roundabouts the ideal time for repotting most things anyway....See Morerina_Ontario,Canada 5a
