Various Plant IDs Needed
Comments (10)The Podocarpus is the Japanese Podocarpus, P. macrophyllus. It is the same species used as bushes and hedges but a different form. The tree is the "normal" species, it can be trimmed but will grow as a tree. This form is hardly propagated in FL nursery trade any more. Almost alll that is used for hedges, etc. is a variety called maki. It has shorter leaves and is a bushier and denser grower. Unpruned, it also doesn't get as tall, maybe 10-15ft while the species can get 40-50ft. The big Philodendron is Selloum, P. bipinnatifidum (used to be P. selloum). The last one is Pothos Vine, Epipremnum aureum, a green form, probably 'Emerald Queen'. There is another vine behind it with the divided leaves, it is Syngonium podophyllum, Arrowhead Vine.

Comments (6)Good question floral - I just assumed they were going to sell plants since they mentioned for their market garden but that may be an incorrect assumption. <What would be perfect is a table or guide that shows what size cell to start seeds in, how long they need before being transplanted to a bigger cell or pot, and then how long they can stay in that pot until they need to be transplanted outside. Does this exist?> Not really as there are too many variables. A very general rule of thumb is first transplant is just after first true leaves develop but it can be done earlier too. Second transplant once the crown of the plant exceeds the diameter of the pot or the height of the plant exceeds the height of the pot as either indicates approx. same size root ball (theoretically). But there are always exceptions so you monitor for signs of the plant becoming root bound (slowed/stunted growth, increased need for frequent watering, etc.).

Comments (3)Hopefully the triangular glass above is coming out for the duration? (I am picturing them as quite large) Nobody wants to do structural work with glass overhead ready to shatter and cut you to ribbons. So now, with the glass safely out of the picture, why not replace the two-piece beam with whatever size new clear-span beam your structural engineer specifies? Once the last stud of the bearing wall is removed, the 2-piece beam has zero value. I can only assume it was put in for convenience as a continuous header for whatever glazing was in the wall, as opposed to individual headers. Some pictures or plans would help. Nobody can size beams or specify fastener schedules for you on the internet; it would be negligence. We can show previous work solutions that we have carried out, but for a structural project you really need a site visit from the SE. Casey...See MoreVarious plants owner NEED HELP potting mixes
Comments (37)Pumice comes in many different sizes. That one is a huge range - 3/8" to 1/32"? If it's mostly on the 1/32" side it's too small. And if it's mostly on the 3/8" side it's a little too big. You have to check in person. Same for the growstone which says 1/16" to 3/8". Depending on how well sized they are you will probably have to sift before use. You can use pumice or perlite, it's up to you. The size is important. Tiny pumice and tiny perlite are not so good. Oil dri has risk it will disintegrate on you. You can test, but maybe you won't know really how it holds up until months later. Personally, I found spending the half day to drive to Ancaster was worth the trouble. One or two 25kg bags of Turface MVP last a very very long time. Having to repot a large number of plants, plus driving out again, and spending more money didn't seem that worth it to me. Just my opinion!...See MoreHU-161159613
