Does this seedling look normal, or wonky?
Comments (7)Thanks foutaam. I'll wait and see if the seed coat gets pushed off, however, this seedling hasn't changed in appearance in about a month, and I'm worried it may be too cold-- the seedling started in central/coastal California. I noticed it when packing my plants to move to Oregon and was excited to find one of the seeds had sprouted (I didn't think any would!). I've since moved to Oregon, and it's colder/rainier here, probably dips into the 40s at night, but is starting to warm up. Is the colder climate here slowing him down? Should I move this little guy inside? Any help or suggestions on the best conditions (light, water, temp etc) for this seedling would be greatly appreciated!! Morgaine...See MoreMy leaves are wonky!! HELP!
Comments (6)Plants that have been in greenhouses have a bit of a time adjusting to the dry, hot climate outside. Often they need to have filtered sun at first until they adjust. Also, a water drop is like a small magnifying glass and on a very hot day the sun will burn the leaf. I always mist early or in the late afternoon to avoid this problem. Makaha Sunn is a very difficult plant to grow in the mainland and often suffers from the cooler, drier climate, especially the nights. It is often better to just let a plant be because messing with them causes more stress and problems. Over fertilizing, over watering, using insect sprays on hot days can all cause this kind of stress. Go buy a cheap water meter and do not water until almost at dry. This will improve the plant health. To me the dark green leaves say greenhouse and much of this appears to be sun related stress. The hot sun from 11 to 3 can be hard until plants get adjusted.

Comments (1)Usually the refrigerator gets about 1/4 to 1/2 in wider on both sides when the door is opened due to the pivot point of the hinge. I would go to an appliance store and check the model for this to see if it is true on the model you want....See MoreMaster Bath Help...why does this feel so wonky?
Comments (8)I think it feels "wonky" because the tub, which is often a central item, a focal point . . . is hidden behind the door. I see why you put it there -- it's the only window, and tub-under-window is a standard. I like the size of the bathroom -- it's not overdone, and it won't cost a fortune. Here's what I'd do: - I'd bring the tub to the center so it's the first item you see upon entering the bathroom. I would not necessarily welcome walking in / staring at myself in any stage of disheaval as I walk into the bathroom first thing in the morning. - Second, I'd look at relocating the closets to the upper right. Why? Because this would allow your closet to extend into the not-unsubstantial space under the large staircase. It might not be "prime space" because it'll be short, but you could have space for boxes /out of season items BEHIND your clothing. I'd want that space. I do agree that the closet doors need to open OUT -- you don't want to have to enter the closet /close the door to reach items behind the door. Pocket doors aren't an option in this small space, but you could go with bi-fold doors. - Having said that, the shower has to go somewhere. Could it go in that oddly shaped space that is now a closet that's to the right /back behind the door? A shower can be an odd shape. You'd be set up to have some cool little triangular shelves in the back corner. - And that would leave the left side of the room for the toilet and the sink. I'd pull the toilet out of its claustrophobic, difficult-to-clean closet, and I'd place it kind of behind the door -- in a spot that's private but not so closed off as to be inconvenient. If you do leave the shower in its current spot, for sure change the swing of the shower door -- it'd be more convenient if it opened towards the room. I see that in this scenerio, you lose the window above the tub. I'd go with a little niche, perhaps to be filled with candles? And let the window be above the toilet. Perhaps you could have smaller windows (for light but no view) above the vanity /mirror?...See Moreacm
