Wick-Watering, Gritty Mix, Hydroton, What to Do?
Comments (1)I think African violets will work better in 5-1-1 than in gritty mix. But I also think neither mix will work well if you're using capillary mats to wick water. Self-watering containers need a finer more absorbent mix. Raybo, who invented the Earthtainer that is a very popular version, recommends a mix that is 3 parts of a high quality peat-based mix like Promix, to 2 parts pine bark fines to 1 part perlite. Also, note that Reptibark is in chunks that are a little on the large size for either mix. I've used it in large containers (1 gallon or more) of gritty mix, but I don't think it would work well for your tiny containers....See Morewhat do I do with the Dahlia now?

Comments (3)Well I would have planted it already in its permanent spot, if you know it already, but since you have confirmed it's a good a root then I think you can move it now while it is still fairly infant. I would not take a cutting of this shoot specifically. Wait until it has grown a bit, then take a cutting off its stems or even the top of the growth if you want to promote side branches. By letting it grow and produce food for the plant, you will get many more branches and possibly even additional shoots without stressing out the one tuber that is trying to regrow based on its own stored energy....See MoreGarage remodel..what do I do with the water heater & air handler?
Comments (5)build a room around them, but if either or both are gas keep in mind their combustion air supply required. also, don't make the room too small. many people make the mistake of building to fit when building around soemthing. then when it needs to be replaced later they find that they did not leave enough wiggle room to maneuver the old unit out and the new one in! my parents built a sun room around a hot tub 15 years ago. they have recently decided that they want to move it outside on a pad and guess what, they must remove a wall to do it! the door is big enough, but the way the room is built you cannot maneuver the tub to teh door and out....See MoreDo I need to report my Spider Plant and Do I water enought
Comments (14)I have some Spider Plants. Please look at this photo. This Spider Plant is in Universal Potting Soil. Do you see that the angle between soil and the "Stem" is 0 degrees? Look at this photo: this plant has this root (I made this photo 1,5 mont ago). Look at this plant now (only on steam) Do you see that the angle between soil and the "Stem" is 45 degrees? Compare the angle of inclination here and here angle = 0 degree (universal potting soil), the length of the stem is 41 centimeter) angle = 45 degree (soil= 1 part of coconut and 1 part of universal potting soil.), the length of the stem is 48 centimeter now) 45 degree > 0 degree and I see that plant with 45 degree (1 part of coconut and 1 part of universal potting soil) is a more happy than plant with 0 degree (universal potting soil). So the soil is very important for plants...See Moredebbiecz3
