What can I do to bring my poor baby Jade back???
Comments (8)Hope I'm not stepping on toes, I want to go one step further, cut of the the bottom stem, and set the top into an empty pot and wait until you see roots growing then set in slightly damp mix and wait until you see a new leaf then water again, thoroughly, wait a momth until you water again, these grow during oiur winter months and will flower in Demembe if taken care of properly. then I water and fertilize again, and water again. Do not use bark or moss on top of the mix. They grow on rocky hillsides in Africa and live on little rain fall and what ever fell between the rock, and on is their to water them, the live off the damp fog, that trickles down been the rocks. Do not grow the in pots that are too large they like to crowded. I live in a very hot region in So. Calif.I have had Crassula ovate 'Baby Jade' in one pot for the past 20 + years no fuss no bother, no top dressing, no moss and they flower for me every year. They get water when in rains and comes down from the roof. I live in Zone 10 So. Cal. Med. climate. Norma Lewis...See MoreWhat am I doing to my poor trees?
Comments (1)Your new lemon was probably growing in a greenhouse under ideal conditions -- warm, humid, good light. You don't say what conditions you are growing your plant in now, so it's difficult to say why it's dropping leaves and fruit. Some fruit and leaf drop is normal to a degree, or it could be from stress due to many factors -- improper watering, pests, changes in light levels, sunburn, wide fluctuations in temperature, low humidity, overfertilization, etc. So many possible factors. Looking at the size of your lemon, it will likely only be able to hang on to maybe 3 to 6 lemons to maturity, and drop the rest....See Moremy poor succulents!
Comments (4)hi madabouteu, this was my first thought as well, but i haven't seen a single one in my planting of the garden or maintenance. i really think that it is the birds since the damage has stopped and the plants are starting to heal since we put cds out. i'll keep my eyes out for the slippery suckers though....See MoreWhat do I ask of the contractor who did a poor job on my oak floor?
Comments (9)That's a good point Unique Wood Floors. I will write them an email to follow up and send them the photos I have. We had the owner out yesterday and he agreed that, while some imperfections are to be expected, this is beyond what he would consider acceptable. He said that the waves are caused by the hand-sander (which was the newbie guy). It breaks my heart because I know every craftsman has to start somewhere...I just don't want it to be on my $4000 job! He was very polite and told us to go ahead and move back into the house; that his crew will move everything out and back in when they come to redo. I did not think to ask if he would send the same or a different crew. I will have to come back in two weeks and post pictures of the redo. Thanks again guys!...See MoreTracy Benson
