My first repotting - when are they safe?
Comments (2)I rescued a NoID for a fellow teacher a couple of weeks ago. Her plant had root rot to the point that when I unpotted it, every thing fell off and I was left with a neck. I repotted the neck (after taking off limp leaves and scraping it), bagged it and kept it a few days before returning it to her. It too, never went limp after being bagged, and she unbagged it after only five days. The plant has not had any problems. However, I prefer to keep mine bagged until I start seeing new growth, usually around a month. Jennie...See MoreWhen to repot citrus?
Comments (5)well, I see that I did a BIG double whammy mistake I brought my citrus home, after an 8 hour drive... and transplanted it. I was told by my greenhouse that it needed to be. then... I put them in my citrus/plant room, along with my exsisting seedling citrus plants. Well... the room was MUCH hotter and humid than the greenhouse they were in. so.. moving, transplanting and drastic temp change been just about a week and their still alive. Meyer is dropping a lot of its flower buds before they even bloom and its exsisting little lemons. the other trees are doing good. I've since cut back on the heat, dropped the temp by half. just to give them a break. hopefully I didn't shock em too badly. But, looking back, none of the trees really needed repotting. maybe better soil, growing medium. I know when I repotted, I barly touched the roots and placed it in its new pot. Hopefully I did ok. Definantly recomend checking the root mass before going to repot...See MoreRepotted wax jambu in shock
Comments (5)I took two air-layered cuttings about 1.5 month ago. One with barely any root development, the other with roots running around 2" -I managed to break some of them with poor handling as well. Planted both in 5-gallon pots using kellogg patio plus and left outside in full sun from day one. They were ravaged by santa ana wind several days after & reduced to just twigs. But I kept on watering it thoroughly every other day until now. They're both showing new growth, though the cutting with better developed roots growing much faster. If the root ball look healthy, it should be fine. Just give it time to recover. If the stems are still green, it's still good. Heck, some branch tips on mine are completely brown & dried two weeks in but the rest of the plant survived. They're pretty hardy so no need to stress.

Comments (9)I am familiar with the area and recently bought a home not terribly far away (not in the Woodlands and we have acreage so not comparable). That said, I think your price is too high just looking at the other houses available in the area. Whether an offer is lowball or not doesn't have much to do with how much you paid for it. We bought a house within 20 minutes or so from your house and the sellers sold it us for less than they paid for it 4 years ago. In fact, last year we sold a house that we bought in 2006 and we sold it for less than we paid for it. Yes, the Woodlands is a nice area but there are a lot of homes available in the Woodlands and quite a few of them back up to a greenbelt, are on a cul-de-sac and are landscaped and have granite, etc. Now aside from the price, you need to improve your pictures. You have 14 and I think you can have 32. I would put up a lot more pictures. I would want to see pics of the secondary bedrooms and maybe secondary bathroom, even the utility room if you have one. On your listing you show a 11x15 extra room. What is that? I would put a picture of it (or is that the sitting room attached to the master). Also put captions on the pictures. On picture 2 I don't know what that room is. Is it a study (desk is very small) or what? Picture 3 - I guess this is the dining room. Frankly with the half walls and the dining table that takes up so much space the room looks really small. Also the white is overwhelming. Just not a flattering picture. Pictures 4-6 -- great kitchen and breakfast room but the pictures are awful. They are too dark. Picture 7 - I guess this is the living room? Or is this the den? I would take a picture of each, but you only have a picture of one of them (I assume that the den and the study are different rooms. If they aren't the listing needs to be corrected). Room looks small in the pics. Pic 8 - I guess this is the master bedroom with a sitting area? Again, put captions on. The angle for the master bedroom doesn't show much. Don't try to show the master and the sitting room in one picture -- just makes the room look small. I want to see more of the master bedroom. Pic 9 - Looks bluish. Also angle of the pic doesn't do much for me. Pic 10 -- OK but I would take trash can out and retake the pic. Pic 11 and 12 -- These just serve to make your yard look really small. Pic 13 - Fairly nice but I would vary the angle a bit so you see more of the spa and less of the plant. Pic 14 - blurry...See Morehibiscus909
