The easiest thing I have found with schefflera is to mix A LOT of play sand into the organic topsoil. Topsoil alone holds WAY TOO MUCH water, it literally will drown your plants. The mix I have luck with is about 50/50 topsoil to playsand (I actually lean heavier to the playsand) and my...
Have you been getting him outside into the natural sunlight at all?? I am concerned about the lack of UVB for about 2 months. ALso he does need to be able to get within 12inches of it to get any benefit from the lamp. I make sure the UVB light goes directly over a branch (generally really close...
If you want to try to make up for some of the loss of vitamins with freezing...I think it was Sandrachameleon that recommended sunflower seeds, brewers yeast, bee pollen and spirulina...the last 2 I found at GNC in little capsules. Just a thought :) I throw some in my gutload when I make it.
Well, it may not have liked that, the soap it just for the leaves to wash off any pesticides. I usually just rinse the roots well with warmish water (too cold/hot can shock the roots). If I were you, I would unplant it, rinse the rootball really well, then get a bag of playsand to mix with your...
You didn't get soap on the roots? Other thing, plants usually need a really good watering right after re-planting. Did you mix any sand in with the organic soil?? I find that the soil is too heavy on its own...I mix about half and half with regular playsand so the roots are sitting in water...
I freaking love Monty! I love everything about him...I just can't tell if I am being swayed by how much YOU love your little Monty!! :confused::D He has to be the cutest little jacksons I have seen!

Me too guys! I LOVE my panther's but I wont breed them. I don't want to be "beaten" to death over them. They are strictly for fun for me. I have a hard time even looking at pics of ppls Faly's anymore as, inevitably there will be someone being rude or condescending about the animal. :(
I feel for you Laurie!! I am desperately trying to cover all my plants that have started growing and blooming as we are getting freezing temps tonight! I am so depressed! My Magnolia is in the process of blooming and it is too big to cover! I am sure all my pretty blooms will be dead by morning! :(
