My Episcias are turning red under artificial light
Comments (15)I would say - it is on a way to the Episcia heaven. What is the name of your Episcia? The pic is so small - I cannot see the details. If it is a variegated one - it needs high humidity NOW. If it is a green leaved one - it probably has bad roots. For variegated one - remove the dead leaves - and create terrarium conditions - dome, fish tank... something. If it is a root rot - remove wilted leaves and investigate the stems. If there some life left in them - I would cut them off and reroot in some kind of a terrarium - probably on humid sphagnum moss - this is a safest way - sphagnum moss has antibacterial and antifungal properties, You need a handful - Orchid places usually carry it. Good luck I....See MoreHow Red - Lady in Red
Comments (4)Ahh, double-checked their website and they've updated a lot of the info. I bought mine way back at the ATL flower show before they were even commercially available and some of the original marketing material was showing what was definitely medium red flowers. But I notice those pics aren't shown anymore. The gallery (with actual unretouched field plants) goes into some detail on soil pH and it seems LNR gen. starts out white but then turns soft blue or light pink depending on soil. The only red you get is in the older flowers. That lines up more with what I've been getting and have seen. That had been bothering me though, since my soil is pretty neutral, and it's mainly new soil. I'd been getting lots of other reds/pinks, but LNR wasn't even leaning that way at all. There's really no big pine trees, just that dwarf japanese pine and other miniature conifers. So looking at their updated website, mine looks pretty much in line with what they have. The flowers are always going to bloom light, and either powder blue or soft pink. The "Red" seems now to just apply more to the veining/stems and the fall color....See MoreWould this blueish quartzite be a mistake? Pics
Comments (36)I am glad if I could have been even a small help. After going through our fairly large scale reno, I would hesitate to ever go through something like that again unless it was really needed. It was a painful process and we got disappointed in many ways and still are. We love the new layout and new kitchen and what was done to our master bath and bedroom. We love having the laundry on the main level now. What makes it worthwhile (eventually) is our kitchen and master bathroom were beyond ugly and our kitchen was small too. We added on a main level den and a screened in porch. We can now be outside and not get eaten alive by mosquitoes in the eves.. The changes made had a real impact on how we use our house. We can maneuver around in master bedroom now without banging into the furniture and our closet space is doubled. I can now hang the shirts I wear to work and not need to spot iron them from being folded. I can find my shoes on the closet floor in a minute or less. No more having to dig to try to find a shoe's mate. The skylights added mean more ventilation and using the lights less often. We finally have a/c in our living spaces, but need it less than before because of the new larger windows and having more of them to open. The changes you are contemplating are more cosmetic in nature and less urgent functionally. Knowing what I know now, I'd be much happier to cook in a kitchen with granite I don't love than to start even a smaller version of what we went through. We need to re-do our family bath in the near future, but that was poorly installed in the past and has functional issues that are only getting worse. We need to recover financially and emotionally before even touching it. If I were in your shoes, I'd be putting aside money for your next house and gathering ideas for what kinds of looks you would like next. You don't know what the next house will have or need, but you can start a folder with inspiration pix and ideas. If you are very lucky, you find a house that needs little work, and the money saved will go to other things, but if not, then you won't have to worry about making needed changes. As much as I have been focusing on our interior, I know the landscaping and fence need re-doing and that will cost enough.... You may want to have a slush fund for those kinds of things in the next house.... In any case, I'd think long and hard before doing any optional work. Your kitchen would dazzle 99% of people. Too bad it is not your real cup of tea.... sigh... I do understand your situation, but think you may regret it if you jump in too hard.......See MoreNew Quartzite Counter Color Doesn't Match the Bathroom!- updated
