New plant gift - hanging basket (ID??)
Comments (17)Hi again... I'm confused! The link above from gusolie indicates my purslane wants moist, well drained soil, but another response I got on the Name that Plant forum said it was a succulent and hated a lot of water. Should I infer from the two pieces of info that the plant needs to be well drained and soil kept slightly damp, or well drained and allowed to dry out between waterings? For now, I plan to keep it in the container, but may move it later to the sunnier side of my garden ("sunnier" being a relative term in my yard!). I have two more questions: 1 - Will this plant grow well in my sandy, acidic soil? 2 - Will it over-winter in my mild climate? (Here, winter nighttime temps seldom drop below 20 degrees, and that doesn't happen often.) Thanks for all the help, guys! BTW - let me say now that GW, and particularly this forum, has helped me turn my "sand pit" into a lovely green space. Couldn't have done it without you! ;-))...See MorePlease, I'd like advise on picture hanging systems
Comments (4)Cheaper and less intrusive: Picture-rail molding that uses metal hooks (some can be very decorative, like Victorian styling, which I believe is where the use of picture-rail molding started). The molding itself can be wood and painted the same color as the wall, and the main thing is that the framed art hangs from the rail, so no nail-pounding and nail-hole-patching. There's a lot of stuff about this method online, so it's easy to Google it and find photos. (You could also do an accent wall with this--special color wall, different color wood rail.) I think the difference between this technique and the website you linked to is that the latter seems more commercial contemporary-art-gallery with all the metal and would require a whole lotta component hardware pieces. And any handyman could put up a wood picture rail....See MoreI'D Help? 7-8' tall horseweed-like plant
