Comments (18)Okay, you guys are starting to know me a little too well. No, Moonstruck was not adapted from a book :) But if it had been, it'd be dog-eared on my bookshelf, believe you me! The quote I wrote down is more of a contemporary classic. A hint? Mellors is the name of the hero. Maybe "bane" was a little strong, but it's certainly annoying that Every Single Term, at least one student asks, with wide-eyed tabloid eyes, if Mary M. and J. really did make babies... Have you heard about those historians who have filed a lawsuit, claiming that Brown plagiarized from one of their books? You know, if my academic work were in ANY way associated with that book, I wouldn't advertize it. To their credit, though, they claim that one of the reasons they've filed the lawsuit is because they feel that being associated with Brown's book makes their own work look bad. I like the idea of a "truth-sorter", though :) Sounds like some sort of futuristic, robotic computer device - like you'd find in a "Jetsons" court room....See MoreTo water or not to water?

Comments (3)This is indeed a jade; there are forms that are tubular like this. I believe it is called 'Gollum' jade. That rot you can see at the bottom of the plant is a concern; those stalks that obviously have rot will continue to deteriorate as it spreads. It can be tricky to keep it from spreading throughout the roots to the rest of the plant. Personally, if I spot rot, I like to remove whatever part of the plant is healthy, re-root it and start over. In terms of watering, you definitely want to hold off. It doesn't matter what kind of mix you have replanted into; the issue is that roots (especially small ones you don't really notice) tend to break during repotting, no matter how careful you are. If they are not able to callous before being exposed to water, rot can set in, and eventually spread throughout the root system and onto the plant. I always wait a minimum of a week. If the plants came from an over saturated mix, I wait longer. Since plants should be sheltered from direct sun and heat during this readjustment stage immediately after re-potting, there's not a lot of risk of the plant becoming desiccated from lack of water. Hope that helps!...See MoreGame time! My loss is your gain. Prize is a grp of 3 branches
Comments (78)Btw I'm jesse I'm very new to the plumeria forum as I have only been growing plumerias for about a year & 1/2 but I managed to get 8 plumies already and I want more as I'm addicted to them :). I mean who isn't after their first one?! I'm from Orange CA born and raised but currently live in riverside CA. Btw I would of never thought to root plumeria in water! I thought it would rott. I'm definitely going to try it when I get a cutting. When I bought some plumerias I was given 4 cutting that had a lot of green on them not that mature. I got them to root but it took forever. I put them in water to plump up because they were really soft by the time I got home (they were already kinda soft when I received them. They were free so I took them) and then I put rooting hormone on them the next day and mixed miracle grow soil with perlite and put them in 1 gallon pots with black stones ontop of the soil and watered good and put in direct sun and I did mist the cuttings so they wouldn't go soft again. I did water the soil every few days because in direct sun the soil dried out pretty quick. They did root I recently gave 2 away and I kept 2 I dont remember what Variety they are all I know they were some sort of pink. They bloomed but don't even remember how they look like I was on vacation when they started. now they have 3 branches on them. I feel that I did a good job for my first time at rooting plumeria cuttings. Now that I remember I also rooted another cutting along with those 4. It's a cutting that is very special to me know that was gifted to me by my Uncle when he saw I had just got into plumerias he already had 2 but he had bought some cuttings and he gave me one. When he gave me the cutting it had flowers on it and it was a Y the blooms I kind of remember were 2 or possibly 3 dark colors I remember I liked it a lot. When I first tried to root it I failed and it rotted so then had to save it and cut off and just kept 1 cutting that eventually rooted and now has formed another Y but haven't seen it bloom again. It's very special to me because my uncle has Gone to heaven this past December and he left me my last great gift that I will treasure. Anyways But I will definitely next time try the water rooting. Thanks for the info and I will look forwards in learning much more from you!...See MoreIs my cactus under watered, over watered? Rotting?
Comments (15)Vanessa From your description of mix it sounds that it does get properly moist - only you can judge that. Sand is usually very fine and typically decrease drainage rather than increase - it clogs up any spaces available between larger particles. But if it is coarse, it would work. And there are ppl that grow succulents in sand very successfully - but they have lots of knowledge and experience... Grit in the mix is desirable ingredient; pebbles are usually too large (what's visible in your photo is too large for the mix, but good for top-dressing) Grit should be about size of aquarium gravel, and any other additional materials too. Many of us use a gritty mix. There is very good and quite detailed info on this forum if you search for "gritty mix". There could be some adjustments made to it using suitable substrates - whole idea is to create well-draining and airy mix. Perlite, grit, scoria, turface, pumice are some that are used most often. Small bark is used too. I use mix of grit (chicken grit), perlite and turface - these are quite easy for me to find. And I use top-dressing a lot, sometimes just chicken grit, sometimes pebbles and/or rocks - they help to anchor newly planted plant (and my hope is that they deter at least some digging by squirrels - just a little - since I keep plants outdoors).
