how do i make my spider plant have babies?
Comments (37)so, what's the answer? cause i bought my spider plant, already growing, about 3 years ago (give or take) and ive never seen a baby . h**l ive never even had a full bushy plant despite; the south facing window, soaking and drying completely for water (twice a month ill say), i feed liquid fish fertilizer (2-3-0) and replace the potassium with bimonthly banana peels (i prefer organics for plants) . its hanging in a basket .. i changed the soil this summer so i know the tube roots are thriving (actually wasnt prepared for them and scared the begeebys out myself hahaha) . my only thought upon reading above posts ; could i have repotted too soon and didn't let the roots get hugged? cause i assumed like most other plants if you give more space for roots, the more intricate the roots become, the stronger the plant .. is that wrong? helpp !! i want plant babies !...See MoreHow to make home elevation more attractive ?
Comments (45)It looks like a generic tract home in a builder neighborhood similar to where we used to live. I would accept it for what it is and not spend too much on the house. The only things I'd do would be to upgrade the front door and mailbox, edge the walkway and driveway with bricks to match the house, plant a tree and fill out the shrubbery. Hang seasonal wreaths on your new front door and maybe add some urns with decorative plants on either side of the porch. Eventually I might replace the cheap builder grade lanterns with nicer and larger ones. Anything else is honestly overkill for that house and neighborhood. As for replacing the brick with siding I wouldn't do that because it will make your house worth less. I hate houses with brick on just front but in a neighborhood with brick fronts it will make your house stand out not in a good way because buyers will expect the brick....See MoreHow to make your offer attractive without too much more money
Comments (23)Yes. The only contingency was financing the last 50k. It wasn't contingent on selling their house. I am recommending that they not roll over their CDs for a few months so that they can make an all cash offer. In addition we should keep more money in the checking account in case we need to help. Economy is hot around here. People complain we're still in a recession (lol?), but bidding wars for senior cottages? Hour wait to get into the Italian restaurant? At least you can eat there. Some places you just can't go. Anyway, on to the next idea....See MoreEternal questions: gas vs dual fuel, open vs sealed burners
Comments (23)@Timothy Fisher ”would you consider triply pans as highly conductive?” There are huge differences in these pans. This guy has done a lot of studies and ranks some here. https://www.centurylife.org/cookware-even-heating-rankings-butane-propane-natural-gas-etc/ The nonsticks are all pretty good because they tend to be aluminum. I think you would almost have to try the burner to see how much flare it has on high. Also I don’t see 3 rings but two. I guess three choices, inner, outer ring or both. This is a screen shot from a video of GE’s burner with a 12” pan. I don’t know if this is the highest heat. Typically on this type of a dual burner the middle burner doesn’t carry many BTUs so still basically a single ring burner. As you turn this up the burner ports are along side the rays and the flame stays to the middle. This is why it is good for woks. This may be one of the smaller burners but the principle is the same. if you cook with a lot of wider pans on high heat, the GE is probably fine....See MoreMid-Atlantic Home
