Comments (31)The part about WATERING SPARINGLY is important enough to warrant repeating. With leaves removed, your plant will only use a small fraction of the water it used before defoliation. Using a 'tell' to tell you when it's time to water (or withhold it) is a good way to stay on track. Using a 'tell' Over-watering saps vitality and is one of the most common plant assassins, so learning to avoid it is worth the small effort. Plants make and store their own energy source – photosynthate - (sugar/glucose). Functioning roots need energy to drive their metabolic processes, and in order to get it, they use oxygen to burn (oxidize) their food. From this, we can see that terrestrial plants need plenty of air (oxygen) in the soil to drive root function. Many off-the-shelf soils hold too much water and not enough air to support the kind of root health most growers would like to see; and, a healthy root system is a prerequisite to a healthy plant. Watering in small sips leads to avoid over-watering leads to a residual build-up of dissolved solids (salts) in the soil from tapwater and fertilizer solutions, which limits a plant's ability to absorb water – so watering in sips simply moves us to the other horn of a dilemma. It creates another problem that requires resolution. Better, would be to simply adopt a soil that drains well enough to allow watering to beyond the saturation point, so we're flushing the soil of accumulating dissolved solids whenever we water; this, w/o the plant being forced to pay a tax in the form of reduced vitality, due to prolong periods of soil saturation. Sometimes, though, that's not a course we can immediately steer, which makes controlling how often we water a very important factor. In many cases, we can judge whether or not a planting needs watering by hefting the pot. This is especially true if the pot is made from light material, like plastic, but doesn't work (as) well when the pot is made from heavier material, like clay, or when the size/weight of the pot precludes grabbing it with one hand to judge its weight and gauge the need for water. Fingers stuck an inch or two into the soil work ok for shallow pots, but not for deep pots. Deep pots might have 3 or more inches of soil that feels totally dry, while the lower several inches of the soil is 100% saturated. Obviously, the lack of oxygen in the root zone situation can wreak havoc with root health and cause the loss of a very notable measure of your plant's potential. Inexpensive watering meters don't even measure moisture levels, they measure electrical conductivity. Clean the tip and insert it into a cup of distilled water and witness the fact it reads 'DRY'. One of the most reliable methods of checking a planting's need for water is using a 'tell'. You can use a bamboo skewer in a pinch, but a wooden dowel rod of about 5/16” (75-85mm) would work better. They usually come 48” (120cm) long and can usually be cut in half and serve as a pair. Sharpen all 4 ends in a pencil sharpener and slightly blunt the tip so it's about the diameter of the head on a straight pin. Push the wooden tell deep into the soil. Don't worry, it won't harm the root system. If the plant is quite root-bound, you might need to try several places until you find one where you can push it all the way to the pot's bottom. Leave it a few seconds, then withdraw it and inspect the tip for moisture. For most plantings, withhold water until the tell comes out dry or nearly so. If you see signs of wilting, adjust the interval between waterings so drought stress isn't a recurring issue. Al...See MoreDo you have a CPAC mask?
Comments (15)By the way, I've not found that doctors are one speck of help when it comes to the fitting and operation of the equipment. None! You need to spend time with the various technicians. One sleep clinic I went to had one kind of machine that they sold and they had a staff technician....no nurse, no doctor.....as the instructor. She was so so. The clinic I'm going to now utilizes a good medical supply business for fittings and excellent instruction. Those professionals get their information about settings and recommended type of mask from the doctor....but that's it. I've been amazed at the difference in quality of service. One thing I have to mention to people who are new to CPAP. It's imperative that you follow the directions for cleaning and sanitizing. Use a "green " dish soap for routine washings in the sink, making sure that hoses get cleaned on the inside. The vinegar rinses are essential at least once a week, though I dip my nasal insert into a vinegar/water solution every morning. Use distilled water only for the water chamber....not only for the machine itself, but for you. I'm mentioning this because of a fellow customer I met in the waiting room of the medical supply company. We both had our machines with us and he asked to see mine. He and his wife oohed and aahed over mine but were shocked to find out that it was two years old. Older than his machine. They showed me theirs and it was disgusting! Covered with dust and the hoses were horrifying looking...with stuff growing on the inside of the hoses. I simply told him what he should be doing ....they are his lungs, for cryin' out loud!!...See MoreJoanns face mask
