Will pine needles kill sumac?

My girlfriend saw pine needles being used as mulch in Florida last winter around native plants and wants it around her sumac bushes. I notice hardly anything grows under a pine tree because the needles are so acidic. I'm allergic to sumac, so piled the needles on high around them- she's happy and I might be happy if they die.

How often does lucky bamboo need to be watered?

I got it 1 year ago as a gift and it's been growing fine and green, but lately the stalks and leaves are turning yellow.

Am I overwatering it or underwatering it?

How can I tell if my crepe myrtle is a tree or very over grown crepe myrtle bush?

I moved into a house this summer and in the back is small crepe myrtle tree(bush). It had one very small bloom and that is all. The trunk is small and thin. Could this be a crepe myrtle bush instead of a tree that has just not been cared for? It is about 10ft. tall but very weak looking. How can I tell and what can I do for a healthier look?

I think I'm killing my peace lily. Any help?

The leafs are turning brown and yellow. I have removed the ones that are too far gone. It has new growth coming in, but how can I keep the new growth healthy? Is putting mayonnaise on the leafs once a month a good idea? I had a friend who did this and hers was beautiful.
