Today a friend gave me a cutting (slip) from her Poinsettia.
I put it in Baccto potting soil. Watered it a little.
The bloom is wilting already.
One factor is I had put it on a table, inside the house, about 5 feet from the patio door and I had the door open for awhile. It got some cold air. So I moved it into another room that's warmer.
Was it right just putting it directly in to the soil or should I have rooted it first? What environment does it thrive best in?

I am planning for wood work for my new flat. I want wardrobes and wall units to be done. Which one is better option for good finish , quality and durability? Plywood or board? Another query, I plan to go for combination of colours and designs, my carpentar suggests to use veneer as laminates leave gap at joints and has more wastage. Is that true? Is veneer better than laminate?
Thanks for your help.

I have tried everything I can think of: vinegar, bleach, scrubbing bubbles, ajax, comet, those magic erasers, oven cleaner, even a pumice stone! Nothing has worked for me.

The heat rises and the mantle gets hot. Is there any way to divert the heat forward into the room instead of it going upward? The fireplace has a small metal lip over the glases in area ( about! 1/2 inches deep)

I'm hoping to move soon but I have A LOT of things I don't need. Most of it is depression glass and collectible glassware. I've tried Ebay but the market is so flooded with this stuff, it's not selling and I'm wasting money just listing it. There's a huge storage building full of this stuff and I don't want to just give it away. Any ideas? I thought about selling it all as a lot in the newspaper. What do you think?

I am hanging Christmas lights from right above the front windows on my house. The front windows are about 7 feet off the ground. I am looking to hang the lights right above them. My only problem is that the width of the windows is about 7 feet also. I am looking to plant the ladder right on the gournd but instead on the ground is a hole which leades to my basement window it is about 5 feet long (width). I have no way of getting the ladder there to string my lights. I tried putting boards over the hole and it did not work. I would have to put the ladder on the side and try and reach my arms over to string lights. I do not know how to get my lights in the up? Can anyone help me?

I'm planning on burning some incense that I've been growing and need to put a large quantity of it in an area and burn it while the scent is sucked into a chamber below.

What is the best makeshift device to do this?

It should have a screen and be able to hold up to a gram of rosemary or thyme. No tinfoil.

I have a small front yard with two large oaks. Other than those two trees, everything else is drab, scraggly and/or eroded away. The yard is mostly on a slope and the soil is washing away down to the sidewalk. Other homes in this neighborhood are attractive and well manicured. I purchased this home a few months ago and am now ready to put about $3,000 dollars into professional landscaping. What makes a house attractive and appealing to you?
