please check my peace lily
Comments (17)Josh, I see. When I first clicked on the picture nothing happened. The second time it enlarged. To be honest, I didn't notice it was Photo Bucket, not that it matters since I don't know anything about Photo Bucket anyway..lol. Nico. I thought you said you had the PL 6 months, sorry. IMO, air conditioning isn't the best for tropicals, but what can you do? Make sure the air isn't aiming/hitting your plants. Garlic water won't harm your plants as long as you don't add salt in the water. Salt will kill a plant. I sometimes spray with veggie water, especially after making sweet potatoes. Garlic will deter some insects. Where are you located, if you don't mind me asking. Do you know anyone else who uses the packaged soil your Peace Lily is potted in? Does the bag list ingredients? If it was my plant, I'd use a little of the bagged soil, (if the package says for indoor/house plants, orchid bark, Perlite, and tiny stones. The temperature is okay. Maybe a bit too warm. Your PL doesn't look bad, but it's best you change soil. Don't over-pot. Use a container 1-2 sizes larger than the root ball. Peace Lily's do best when tight-fitting, they tend to flower more, too. Yep, if leaves are more than half damaged, cut them from the stem closest to soil. They won't return to green. For the time being, stop fertilizing. Water only when soil is almost dry. If soil is staying wet at the bottom, something is obstructing the holes, plus the current soil is too heavy. We've already covered that. Repot with above ingredients. Apply fungicide only if your Peace Lily has fungi. There's no sense in adding chemicals if they're not needed. When you repot, check roots. Do you know what to look for?

Comments (38)Oakley, the kitchen wallpaper is history. And not a moment too soon. I love a kitchen table in my kitchen, even if it defies all kitchen organization. Yes, if I didn't have animals, I may consider a rug in the kitchen but I like to easily clean. I love braided rugs too and have one upstairs but have more antique persian ones because of family hand me downs. I still have the wallpaper in my living room because I am in tired of trying to decide what I want to do in that room. It's large and overwhelming. DH built the outbuilding. It's technically our well house. It's large enough to make a small Guest house (sans bathroom) and with out MIL coming, we will likely do just that. (I've been studying trailer floor plans for ideas.) It is finished inside but not furnished. We could put in a motel style kitchen but no bathroom. The septic would be too close to our well....See MoreDouble check my hood insert selection? Please.
Comments (2)Go with the larger hood. When I was researching for my hood, I found that it was recommended to go with a hood larger than your range or cooktop. I have a 36" cooktop and a 42" built-in hood. I think it looks great and I am glad I didn't go with a smaller one. Also, the height placement of your hood will be dicated by a number of factors including: local building code, cooktop specs, and the hood specs. Mine had a very specific range in which it could be placed. The bump-out should be fine - just be sure to bump your hood foward too so you can capture the steam/oils etc....See More
