Gigs, I generally use the GEII for everything. And when I don't use it, I use liquid nails. I'm kinda "stuck" on those two. Pun intended, LOL. hugs, Karen

BittyBatts Although the peat based potting soils degrade into very low Ph mediums, stunting plants, repotting should fix that. African Violets, potted in peat based potting soils, are fine with any water Ph 8 or under. My water is 9+ I add phosphoric acid to bring the water I use on plants to Ph 7. It was easy after I figured it out but required some math to find the parts per million of phosphorus. It also required knowledge of how to mix water and acid. how to store acid and how to dilute water with acid to the proper Ph. Trust me, water Ph, unless your water is so thick with dissolved solids you can plant in it and the Ph is above 8, you don't want to mess with it. It requires addition of acids, the best being food grade phosphoric which despite the label is extremely corrosive in its undiluted state. Also, it is necessary to know how much phosphorus (ppm) are being added when you bring the Ph down. Phosphorus is a fertilizer. It is possible to use citric acid (expensive) sulphuric (dangerous) or nitric (dangerous) so it is best to leave the water alone if you don't have an extreme problem. Or repot every 6 months to counteract the buildup of minerals and Ph in the soil Very high Ph water can, over time, seriously affect plants. Yellowing of leaves, poor growth and lack of flowers are the usual symptoms. This post was edited by lucky123 on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 17:24

I would sacrifice one of them. They will be fighting for root space, light, nutrients... if you leave them both so close together. It will lead to two weaker smaller less productive plants, rather than one strong plant.

Vaporvac, I am very happy that you like my clay jars. Although it is wrong to say it, I also think it was beautiful. Here in any building materials business or in large nurseries, there are many terracotta containers for sale. In different shapes, sizes and styles. There are small ones that are cheap but those of a certain size are somewhat more expensive. The size of the one I bought for my garden, is between 70 and 90 euros. I think an American dollar is about equal to one euro, maybe a little less. Vaporvac, think that it is nothing more than oil and turpentine. It is a mixture that is absorbed by clay (clay or terracotta) 9 and does not form a film that prevents drainage. That is to say, in order to plant a rose, it is indistinct to use this jar before or after applying the aging technique of its appearance. I understand you read the blog. I would like to ask you how it is meant by using the translator. Because I guess you do not read Spanish? Or if? Do you understand well or are there many expressions that do not quite understand who reads it translated into English? Thank you, Lilyfinch !! Animated read comments like yours. The truth is that I did not take too long to do it. It is also true that I was excited to buy it !! Hahahaha And so I did not mind working. The day before here in Madrid it rained so intensely that I never saw it. She did a lot of damage in my garden and I was very sorry. I thought a way to cheer me up would be to buy this jar. I needed a joy after the disaster of the rains. If you want to see the damage caused by hail and water in my garden you can visit this link: Https://eljardindelaalegriaenmadrid.blogspot.com.es/2017/07/viernes-el-dia-que-llovia-mares-danos.html It is an article in which I relate the hours of anguish I suffered. Luckily I was accompanied by my dear dog (Iker is called) Maria.
