Insta-Snow is made of an absorbing polymer so it would be holding water for the seeds to take in. And if you put it in the sun or a bright light it might work. What do you think.

Is their a virtual site that we can go to or someone that can design something that wont cost a fortune for them to plan something

Is there a blade for a reciprocating saw? What would you use?

TIA

I am not a green fingered person but i do love flowers i mentioned that i like Orchids in a room full of people and for my birthday back in April guess what i got?? not one but THREE Orchids. (should have told them i liked sports cars too :-)
I almost killed one to much water from the top of the pot.
Yes i know now its a no no.
Well its now December the last of the flowers are just dying off the last one but i have noticed little bugs they are whiteish and furry. my questions are
1. What are they?
2. Are they harmful to the Orchid if yes in what way?
3. Can i get Rid of them?
4. Should i get rid of them and how?
I know i sound like the usual novice because i a but im am proud of the fact they are still alive and apart from their lodgers they look quiet healthy. I would love to see them flower next year that would be the ultimate.

Thanks in advance x

I have a lucky bamboo plant and need to know as it grows can you transplant to a larger pot? It is grown in water. When you change water on plant do rinse roots and change pots then or what?

If I apply a store-bought systemic insecticide on vegetable plants, after how many years will it be safe to eat the vegetables?

Would the chemicals still be present in a harmful amount after three years?

Thanks,

I bought two amaryllis flower bulbs that come in a box. One for myself and the other for my sister. We planted them at the same time and placed them both in a window sill where they will get a lot of sun, and they both seemed to be doing alright. I noticed that hers is growing faster and is getting ready to bloom (you can see the red petals ready to open) byt my flower looks about the same as it did when I planted it. The stem where the bloom would be seems to have a tear and to me doesn't seem like it will ever bloom. Should I trim that part off? And will another stalk/stem/bloom appear? There seems to be something that looks like what could be a stem with a bloom, but being new to amaryllis flowers, I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

i realized that dracaena marginata, if not in a cluster clister, gets spindly looking as it matures and the lower leaves fall off. to remedy this i planted sum english ivy in the pot with it. the marginata is still full of leaves lower and upper but i figured it would be best to get an early start with the ivy. i plan to wrap the ivy around the stalk of the marginata as it gets bare. is this a good idea?

I bought some recently and planted them, but apparently they don't spread. Is this true? Do I need to plant them very close together to get some color? I bought more, and did that, but it still doesn't look all that great. Am I expecting too much out of them? Also, will they survive occasional freezing weather, even when the temperature doesn't go over freezing for around 72 hours before warming back up above freezing?
I live in western North Carolina in the mountains.
I also bought some phlox today, hoping it will survive, even though I planted it today. I assume it's pretty hardy, since it didn't die off when we had freezing weather a couple of times already. Suggestions? Advice?

Hi, I was wondering what the best way to remove the smell of smoke from clothes. I was thinking to give it as a present, do I just put it in the machine washer? Does that work?

Thanks for any advise & happy holidays you all. ^_^
