I bought an oxalis recently (the kind sold as "shamrocks" around this time of year, with white flowers). It's sitting in a southwest window with lots of afternoon light, and doing great so far, but how do I care for it in the long-term?
My grandmother always grew oxalis, but she never really had enough light, and they got spindly and sad-looking. She loved them anyway. There was a sign at the garden shop warning that too much water would make them leggy. This particular oxalis is definitely in need of repotting, because it's fairly large for its pot size, and it dries out quickly. But... - Should I wait for it to stop blooming before repotting it? - Should I divide it as I repot, since it seems to have a fair number of bulbs in a small area? Or just put it in a bigger pot? - How often and for how long should I expect it to bloom? - What else should I do to care for it in the long term? Thanks,

Linda, I'd wait for flowers to fade before repotting. And when you do, don't overpot..they like a tight fit..I believe a small pot is what gets them to flower. 'Too much water will make them leggy'...only if the soil is continuously wet or plant is sitting in water. Dividing or placing in large pot is a matter of taste. I prfer one big plant vs two smaller plants. But that's a matter of opinion. Blooming depends on the plant..my purple oxalis bloomed most of the summer months last year. The best way to keep your oxalis going is by giving it bright light all winter. and placing outside in summer, if possible. Water soil when it's dry. I mist my leaves but it's not necessary. Seems like the more sun they get the longer the flowers remain..Toni |
If they bloom all Summer, that would be great, but I'll need to bite the bullet and carefully repot before that. It just dries out too fast right now...and since this is a desert and all, I don't want to think about what will happen when the hot weather really kicks in. For the same reason, I'd worry about putting it outside, but I might give it a shot. Thanks for the info. Linda |

Linda, do you know what type of soil it's potted in? And what size pot? It might be planted in too well-draining cactus soil which is why it's drying out fast. Feel the soil..if it's sandy then that could be your problem.. |
It doesn't look like cactus soil. It's just an awful lot of bulbs in a fairly small pot. They're packed in, and the natural angle of the stems creates a plant that's at least twice the diameter of the pot. I believe that the drying out is due to an awfully low soil-to-plant ratio. I should probably move it up to a bigger pot before summer, when the drying out will undoubtedly be worse. |
Hi everyone, its been awhile, my pukey puter was down. On to the plants. I bought new ones, for some reason mine all died out. They were old, and I think the soil was a low grade. See you all taught me about good soil. They were weird, because they would seem to die off, I would water and they would come back alive. They didn't come back this time. I love these plants. I too believe the tighter the plant is the more it blooms. I have a purple one this time, and a green one (big clover leaves). |
My oxalis when dormant last summer and I didn't know that's what it was doing. LOL I was about to toss it because there was nothing- no stems, leaves, nada, zilch. Toni told me to keep it because there were bulbs underneath the soil and that I would begin to see new growth soon. I'm glad I listened to her. Within about 1 week, the plant started with new growth which quickly became very abundant. It bloomed basically all summer. Now it's barely hanging on again, but should be bursting with lots of new growth in a few weeks. These plants don't like a lot of fertilizer either. Keep the soil evenly moist- not wet and not dry. They hate dryness. |
Holy Cow GH I sure did miss that one from Toni. Oh well there in the garbage now. They just looked plum dead, no leaves, no nothing, nada too. I will take heed of that last sentence too> Thank you! I swear you learn something new everyday, even if its the hard way. |

Pistilo, that's ashame you tossed them..they do go dormant, lose leaves, but as the days lenghten the leaves resume. I wouldn't give up..they should be on sale right now from ST. Patrick's day so maybe you can get a nice little plant..Toni |

I am new to owning an oxalis. I have one that has been growing like crazy. I was thinking about splitting it into smaller pots. I was wondering if anyone knows if the windiness of the stems is a sign of unhealthiness and if I should wait to split it until it is healthier. If that windiness is fine then what is the best way to split one of these plants? Thanks! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Wed, Jul 26, 06 at 15:35
Chris, maybe you should wait until flowers fade altogether. Carefully separate then place bulbs in a second pot (small) Here's a pic of mine that's now in bloom..Toni |
Here is a link that might be useful: RE: Caring for Oxalis
Is it better to put an oxalis in shade or sun when placed outdoors? If sun is best, which is better afternoon sun or morning sun? Thank you. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Wed, Aug 16, 06 at 15:44
Cali, mine sits in the sun..it gets morning sun and some south sun in the afternoon. When I bring it indoors in autumn, it's placed in a se window. Toni |

i have had a purple leafed (and light pink flowered) oxalis that has survived for 2 years (though last winter, indoor in pots). However, this winter it is dying in three different pots, in three different locations (including one pot at a different house completely). It does not seem to be water or temperature (in my general intuitive opinion). The leaves have slowly gone, one at a time, turning a bright pink and being unable to open, and then shriveling and falling over. I have just one leaf left in one of the three pots. In the other two I have looked at the bulb/tuber structure (bright orange) and it looks like when I first planted it 2 years ago off a mother. Are these simply dormant due to low light short day winters? would they likely grow back in the spring--what is the best way to care for the bulbs during the interim time? -matt |
If they are going dormant, they won't need nearly as much water. They will, from time to time (especially if repotted or divided), disappear and go into a dormant state. Leira, what species do you have? Some are perennials in your zone. I have both Strawberry Oxalis (Oxalis crassipes 'Rosea') and White Oxalis (Oxalis crassipes 'Alba')...both are perennial and don't do as well indoors as the Oxalis regnellii varieties. |
I also am noticing that my oxalis leaves have been dying off. But it is still flowering. I was hoping to split the root to make 2 plants but as per hopefulauthor's suggestion I was waiting until it stopped flowering. How do I recognize dormancy versus dying? My plant has purple leaves and pink flowers just as indianpipe. It has survived well indoors but was less hearty ourdoors. This is the second year that I have had it and it bloomed all throughout last year. To my knowledge it did not have a dormant period. Could it be entering one now? If so, when should I split it and what should it look like if it is dormant? Thanks so much for your help!! |
Cali_4j, it sounds as if you have Oxalis regnellii atropurpurea? If so, they will go dormant if you transplant them, or if they decided that it is winter....mine have not undergone a complete "dormancy period" unless I have recently transplanted them. I move all of my tender Oxalis outdoors in the spring to the north side of the house. They do great there...so full and happy. When I bring them in, they get a bit leggy since I have no room in the sunny windows for them. If you want to rejuvinate them, just dig them up and repot them. Any foliage that was there will die off and soon they will send fresh foliage out. Once, I almost killed this plant (had it mixed in with my Oxalis regnellii) because the pot stopped releasing water. The Oxalis crassipes can stay outside year round in my zone...but, along the same lines, the Oxalis regnellii do appreciate some outdoor time in the warm months (so they can have a warm cycle). I think I will let the frost force mine into dormancy next year...will probably be good for them. |
Can I force my oxalis into dormancy? I really want to split it to give part of it to a friend who has been wanting one. Is it ok to split and re-pot if it is not dormant? |
Sure you can...in fact that will force it into a short dormancy... Be sure to let whoever is getting them to not water very much while they are not in a foliage state. |
I went ahead and split my plant a few days ago and it still looks pretty pathetic. About how long does it does it take for the stems and leaves to recover from the trauma? |
The leaves and stems will probably disappear...don't despair, that is what dormancy is...they are resting...they will reappear at a later date, fuller and better than ever. I am not sure what zone you are in, but if they are in a very well draining pot, they will spring back to life once you place them outdoors in a shady location. It might take a few weeks...have patience. |

I have been reading this thread about Oxalis and thought I might add a little of my success with this great plant. I began my Oxalis around St Patrick's Day 8 years ago. I purchased a one green and one purple plant. They did well for that spring and summer but really fizzled out in the fall (indoors). Since then I have potted them together in one large pot. I keep it outside for the summer (May 15 until October 15). At the end of each season (Winter and Summer) I cut the plant down to the soil level and let it rest for a few weeks. Buy the end of the second week it begins to come back and within 4 weeks it is in full regalia again. I have split off several of the bulb like risomes at each season's end and have started new pots for family and friends with great success. I situate the plant to get morning light, give it normal watering and feed it once a month with Peter's house plant food. Try combining the two colors (purple and green) The green has pure white flowers and the purple has white flowers with a purple cast. In my experience, this plant is indestructible but needs to be cut back twice each year. Hope this helps. |

Thanks Sandy..Your Oxalis must be huge, since you can divide and give as gifts..Do you have a pic of this combo? Of course we all have our own ways of working with plants..I allow leaves to drop on their own, then remove dead foliage. I agree,they need a rest in winter, but not as long as some plants, u know? 4-6 wks of little water and no food, they send out new leaves..The first time it happened I thought it was a goner..lol..but it's a normal process in growing Oxalis..I wonder how many ppl toss their plants thinking they're dead..Toni |
- Posted by Alison(email@example.com) onSat, Sep 29, 07 at 22:07
I have a very full green oxalis -the flowers just now petering off. From what I understand from this thread is that I can slow down the watering and/or chop off all the foliage. Do I have to put it in a dark closet for the winter or just let it slow down? And if I chop all the greenery back (which sounds cruel and drastic) will it surely come back strong? |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sat, Sep 29, 07 at 23:31
Alison, if you can supply bright light in winter, there's a good chance your Oxalis will only go semi-dormant. But if it seems like it's going dormant, then treat it as it is. Withhold feeding for one. I wouldn't chop the leaves back..if they're going to drop, let Mother Nature take over..Before you know it, more leaves will grow in. I don't know if green Oxalis care differs from Purple..I think the green a bit more difficult than purple..I recently bought a green tree Oaxlis that grows upright, and sprouts yellow flowers. Even if you did chop off the leaves, I'm sure in time they'll grow in, but why bother? Let them fall naturally.. Good luck, Toni |
Hi. Moved to KY. last year and am also wondering about if the Purple Oxalis can stay in the ground all winter or do they have to be taken in. I am in Zone 6 in Western KY. Right in the middle. I received a start from one of my sister-in-laws just before she died and don't want to lose the plants. |
oxalis aren't hard at all, and all the advice as been good. i just wanted to add that my husband had one back before we were dating (i believe he named it "stimpy") and if he could care for it, then yes, it is indestructible. it was never repotted, watered inconsistently and received bright light in the kitchen window. the roots are called "corms" and they look like little carrots. if you decide you don't like how the plant is looking, go ahead and cut it down to the soil. it'll resprout soon. too bad stimpy came from an old girlfried! he didn't pass the plant cull when we moved out of state. muahahahaha. -ming |
the red oxalis here in Albuquerque zone 7 does well both indoors as a house plant & outdoors where it grows year after year even after the 11 degrees we got last winter & even colder. Outdoors it does better for me in partial shade but indoors I have it in a hanging basket in an east facing window with all that sun & it also does well year after year. I water when I see the leaves start to droop a bit. |

I just decided to do a little research on oxalis plants as mine seem to suffer. I am glad to hear about the dormant period as things make a little more sense now. However, mine seems to have been semi-dormant for an awfully long time now and I'm wondering if there's something I should be doing differently. I received a beautiful, full, healthy plant in May that got too dry at one point, losing plenty of leaves, recovered somewhat but has never gone back to being nearly as full as it was when I got it. I don't think I overwater it and it hasn't dried out quite as badly since that one incident. I did top up the soil at the end of the summer but that didn't seem to help. It is sprouting very few new leaves now and hopefully this means it's coming out of it's dormant period. Flowers have stopped coming up in the past 2 weeks or so. Does this make sense? Is there anything I should expect or do differently? Thanks for such a helpful thread! |
Bare-root and repot into a durable, free-draining soil now. Divide if appropriate to make new plantings. Keep the plant barely moist until it starts to really wake up (after mid-March, probably), then water regularly, but be sure your soil isn't overly water-retentive, as it could easily promote root or crown rot in this plant. I would fertilize with any of the 3:1:2 ratio fertilizers, like 24-8-16, 12-4-8, or my favorite, Foliage-Pro 9-3-6. After it blooms, when/if it starts to die back, let it go dry/dormant for 3-4 months before repeating the process. Al |

As Al suggested, since many of my plants respond much better to a free draining mix, try the gritty mix since this fits Al's recommendations perfectly. Thank you for a suggestion made just like this to me years ago. The best advice I could of ever taken.;-) 1 part bark, 1 part turface, and 1 part granite grit. Idea's on where to find the supplies. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/contain/msg041917144346.html Here is a link also that will explain what I use. Mike... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Great container soil info
I just got one of these as a gift. It's in pretty bad soil so I'm going to repot it as soon as I can find someone selling perlite for less than seven dollars a bag (what the heck..?), but what I was wondering was this -- can the tubers/corms be exposed at all or do they need to be buried? |
They should be buried - not because they won't tolerate air exposure after they are established, but because they won't tolerate it well UNTIL they're established. Al |
Just repotted it. The corms were at the very bottom of the container and I raised them up about half way. No idea what the ideal depth is but all the way at the bottom seems to deep/restrictive. |

Hello All! This is my first time working with Oxalis and I've tried to research how to properly care for the plant as well as understanding their timeline for growth but it is hit and miss. Here's my dilemma... I live in CA zone 9 and purchased a bag of 50 Oxalis Triangularis and Regnelli corms from easytogrowbulbs.com. I wanted to use them as a ground cover in my front and back yard. I planted them all in January because the website said to put them in the ground right away. I potted a few indoors at the same time. The Oxalis I potted indoors sprouted within a few weeks under a South facing window. Their only problem is that I think they are leggy. The leaves are about 2-3 inches across when open (they look normal) but they are about 5-6 inches tall. I'm not sure if that is normal. They certainly don't look full and short like the ones in the nursery this time of year. Fearing they were not getting enough light, I added a "grow light" (Exo-terra Repti Glo 2.0). So far it's been a week and I can't tell if this is helping or not. My indoor temperatures are 66 at night 70 in the day. The ones I planted outdoors haven't done a thing. I noticed this week (3/23/11) that there are one-two 1/2 inch leaves popping up in my front yard where I planted the Regnelli corms but they look like slug food. The backyard Oxalis don't even show signs of growth. The only main difference between the front and the back is that the backyard soil drains slower. I used redwood bark to cover my landscape front and back, not very thick, just so I don't have exposed ground. Not sure if this is affecting the growth of my Oxalis (ie, keeping the ground too moist). Outdoor temperatures are from low 40s at night to mid 60's during the day and we get frequent rain off and on. I did put a few corms in a pot outdoors in the front. Those look about the size of the ones in the ground in the front, about 1/2 inch wide but don't have any height. Just enough clearance for the leaves to close. No signs of slugs here. I researched a natural way to rid slugs and found coffee grounds work. Applied it this week so it's too soon to tell if it's effective. Now that you have an idea of what's happening, anything stand out? I was hoping for a nice bushy ground cover... Still, I'm happy to see some growth. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Thu, Mar 24, 11 at 18:34
Amccour. The corms should be completely buried, unlike Amaryllis where its bulb sticks halfway out of soil. Rabbit. You said your Oxalis looks spindly...How many corms did you use, and what diameter is the pot? My Oxalis was started from 1 corm. It was potted in a 2" semi-shallow container. As time passed, corms multipied. As they multiplied, I increased pot sizes. Wider/Shallow containers. Corms/roots tend to spread. Oxalis needs very bright light. If in harsh, direct sun, leaves might burn...Daily watering would probably be needed, depending on soil and temp. Two things I discovered about Oxalis. Despite time of year, if soil dries too much, especially for prolonged periods, Oxalis thinks it's going dormant. Leaves and stems limp. However, once watered leaves regrow. A little Bone Meal should be mixed in soil before adding corms. I use Fish Emulsion during growing season. Toni |
I wouldn't expect to see much growth until the mean soil temperature is above 55*, and no strong growth until it's >60-65*. I also wouldn't fertilize until the mean soil temperature is above 55*. It is especially advisable to hold to that guideline when using urea or ammonium sources of N, and blood meal is a strong 'no' when soil temperatures are that low. Al |

hopefulauthor, I planted four 3/4 inch corms in a 4 inch pot. The soil in the pot is moist but not water logged. In fact, I noticed a white layer of salt buildup because it's new potting medium so I leached the pot making sure it drained well afterwards. No burning on the leaf edges even under the light. I might just be expecting more growth than what the plant can put out at the moment. I do see new leaves emerging at the base and it appears the newer they are, the less height they have. Probably the first ones that emerged reached for the sun and now that more are filling in it will take better shape. I fertilize all my indoor and outdoor plants with homemade worm tea only. I used spent coffee grounds mixed with water for a potted azalea and potted blueberries to acidify the soil and recently around the Oxalis to deter slugs. As far as the backyard, we had heavy rains this week and I noticed standing water near the row where I planted the Oxalis. It doesn't stay around for long, maybe 1/2 a day after the rains stop. Perhaps they rotted out or just waiting for the weather to warm up. If they rot, I'll use corms from any surviving mounds in my pot or front yard to replace them. Do you suggest I add bone meal and fish emulsion to my arsenal? Outside I'm mainly growing Dwarf Citrus, Avocado, Pomegranate, Blueberries, Herbs, Day Lilies, Various Spring Bulbs (Tulips, Freessia, Amaryllis, Iris, Asiatics Lilies, Cannas, Blazing Stars and Gladioli), Sunflowers, Dahlias, African Iris, African Daisy, Rose of Sharon Hibiscus, Oleanders, Wisteria and Oxalis. Note: It's my first year with all of these as they all went into the ground either this fall or this spring. Only the Oleanders, Wisteria and African Iris were established plants. |

Rabbit, The growth of your Oxalis is normal. Mine average the same. I looked at the website that you got them from, and the only ones that stay short are Inops. a height of 2-3". The rest are said to average 6-8" or so.. I too think it's just way to chilly still for them to sprout outside. Be careful not to water log them right now. Why shouldn't you water Oxalis when the leaves are closed? I've done plenty of research on them in the past and have not come across anything suggesting that. And having grown them, and have them now, I've never had a problem with watering when leaves are closed. Mine are sending up new stems every day and doing beautiful. I water when the soil says too, not by the leaves. JoJo |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Fri, Mar 25, 11 at 2:18
Rabbit. Your outdoor garden sounds lovely. Do you expect fruit from Citrus, Avocado, Pomegranate, Blueberries and 'Herbs/spices' this year? Or were trees/bushes started as youngin's, when you planted last fall? You want me to be honest? I think you're trying to rush Oxalis growth. lol.. One thing I like about Oxalis; they're fast-growers. If kept warm, (not hot) and in a bright window/lights, they're evergreen. Actually, Bone Meal should be mixed with soil before bulbs/corms are set in place. I've never heard of Worm Tea, so prefer not to give advice adding other fertilizers. What is Worm Tea? 'Do I really want to know?' lol, J/K. Is it organic or chemical? Wish I had an answer why your Ox's aren't growing out back. Purple Oxalis is hardy to zones 6 and up. I'm in z5, so my Ox's are container grown. Give corms more time before assuming they rotted. Was it warm or cold when you had rain storms? Nice talking to you..Good luck, Toni |

Hi Toni, I had a question about what you mentioned, about watering when the leaves are closed. I guess you didn't see it. I'm real interested in knowing more about that. Why is it you don't water when the leaves are closed? JoJo |

hopefulauthor, My citrus trees came from Four Winds Growers and they came in 5 gallon containers (Purchased from Orchard Supply Hardware). I can't tell how old they are but I know they are old enough to produce. I planted them in the ground in September to get an early start on establishing them for this years growth cycle. Right now they are all showing signs of new growth so I am quite pleased. My Meyer Lemon and the Blueberries are the only ones setting bloom right now. The Pomegranate is breaking dormancy. I'm read the Meyer is capable of fruiting all year round. The local nursery recommends I pinch off fruit during the first year to help establish a healthy root system. I'm sure I'll allow some fruit this year, just not an abundance. I think you are right in that I need to be more patient with my Ox. Local weather is reporting high 50s on rainy days dropping to low 40s at night. As far as worm tea goes, it's a really fun project: Start with a plastic tote container that is opaque so it stays nice and dark inside. I drilled holes all around it to allow air circulation and on the bottom to allow drainage. I placed this inside another opaque tote of the same size with only holes on the sides (this was to catch any liquid but still allow air circulation). Fill the bin half way with moistened shredded paper. Go to your local pet shop or fish supply shop and ask for red wrigglers or red worms (it cannot be any other type of worm). I started with about 200. Then start adding your finely chopped kitchen scraps, spent flowers, or plant trimmings to the bin (no protein or fat) and top them with more moistened shredded paper (this prevents the compost from smelling like rotted food). Stay away from acidic foods like onions, citrus and tomatoes. You can even dump your occasional spent coffee grounds or cooked pulverized egg shell or a handful of sand would work too. This helps the gizzard in the worm with digesting food. The worms will eat your kitchen scraps and leave you with organic worm castings. You can use the castings as is when potting new plants or make a compost tea. Once the compost is established, get into the habit of feeding on one side and harvesting on the other, then alternate. Keep the paper moist but not soggy or you'll drown your worms. I store my bin in the garage year round but I've heard people using smaller containers and keeping their bins under their sinks. No problems with ants, rodents or other pests as long as I keep a layer of moistened paper on the top. One time I composted a pumpkin and opened the bin to find dozens of sprouting pumpkin seeds all straining for light! haha. Here's a link on making the tea (Super easy!): My houseplants THRIVE on the stuff! I've been using it for about a year and have saved a lot of money not having to buy chemicals or potting soil. I don't even repot my plants, I just root prune because the worm compost adds all the nutrients back into spent soil. I read worm compost will also reverse the damaging effects of chemically treated soil over time. I've noticed the population of earthworms in my backyard increase the more I use worm compost tea. If you're not doing it now... I highly recommend you start! Good luck! |
I'm very curious to learn how a person would figure out what nutrients they were giving their plants when using a worm tea, or any other organic mix, and at what percentages, so any deficiencies could be accurately corrected? Since the basics of science and physics tell us that growing in the ground is very different than growing within containers, and keeping in mind some of those differences, nature would automatically compensate for any overages or deficiencies in the garden... but what about in containers? The same ecosystem is not present, and not easily maintained. Isn't it true that regular leaching of containerized plants negates any chemical salt build ups? Isn't it also true that a medium with the properties to drain freely and allow for the necessary exchange of gases and oxygen to and from the root zone can be copiously watered every time moisture is needed, thereby allowing excess salts to exit contained within the effluent? At a cost of about $3, as I recall, I consider a bottle of Miracle Gro liquid to be a good investment... especially since that one bottle lasts me about 2 years, and can be used on every plant type I grow. I know exactly which nutrients it contains, and in what percentages, and this helps me determine which micro-nutrients I need to add, which are also very affordable and cost effective. So, that's two products used that cover all nutritional needs at a very fair price. Not only do I save money, I also know exactly what my plants are receiving, nutritionally speaking. The Oxalis I have doesn't seem to mind being watered when the leaves are open or closed, as long as I water it when needed, and allow it to rest as needed. Like any other bulbed or cormed plant, the Oxalis requires a dormancy, or rest period, as part of its annual growth and bud setting cycle. |

Wow, this is an old Thread...five years and running! :-) I grow a green version, but I've never associated it with Oxalis, so I'm late to the party! My grows in-ground, amongst Dryopteris ferns in the shade of an Incense Cedar (Calocedrus). It gets cold and water-soaked in the Winter, and hot and dry in the Summer, so I'd guess

Hello jodik, I run into the limitation of having a partner with a ZERO petroleum policy who refuses to allow me to use chemicals on plants indoors or out. I tried sneaking a few doses of Miracle Gro when we first moved in and he went absolutely bonkers when he found the package. Same goes for insecticides. That's also why I had to research natural ways to kill slugs (containers full of beer work the best). |
I like the idea of organic growing, myself. What's not to like? Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that organic methods don't translate very well to container growing, and are much more efficient and workable when utilized in the gardens. That being said, I approach container growing from a more inorganic angle, which makes logical sense considering the vast differences between the two types of gardening. Today's chemical fertilizers are manufactured using various processes, but I think it's incorrect to say that they are petroleum based. Modern synthetic fertilizers are composed mainly of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium compounds with secondary nutrients added. Many different substances are used to provide the essential nutrients needed for an effective fertilizer. These compounds can be mined or isolated from naturally occurring sources. Examples include sodium nitrate, seaweed, bones, guano, potash, and phosphate rock. Compounds can also be chemically synthesized from basic raw materials. These would include such things as ammonia, urea, nitric acid, and ammonium phosphate. The production of synthesized fertilizers is regulated by the government in the United States, so analysis tests are run on samples quite consistently by quality control departments to determine total content of each component. While some of the elements are man made, or synthesized, they are not petroleum based. They are the same basic nutrients found organically... they are simply manufactured to various specifications in a controlled environment. When it comes to feeding my plants in containers, I don't want to guess at how much Nitrogen or how much Calcium or Magnesium I'm feeding. I'd like to be certain I'm not depriving my plants of any nutrient they need, nor do I want to add too much of a nutrient to the medium, which can be just as harmful as a deficiency. The best way I've found to ensure that my plants are getting the proper nutrients in the proper amounts is to utilize a synthesized fertilizer that has been specifically manufactured to serve the particular purpose. Fertilizing and insect control are two separate issues. A grower can certainly use natural methods to keep potted plants free of insects, though I prefer to approach this from an inorganic angle, too. Some of my plants are too difficult to replace, so I don't take any chances. |

jodik, Thanks for the great information! :) Don't think it will fly with my partner, but it is helpful for other gardeners. |
You're very welcome, rabbithole! The choice is always up to the individual, of course, but having a wider array of valid information helps us to make better, more informed choices. :-) |

Jojo..Sorry, I didn't see the post about Oxalis leaves. It's simple. Like Marantas/Calatheas, when Oxalis fold leaves they're napping. Therefore, it's best to water in the morning, when leaves unfold. Rabbit. Ah, I'm familiar with Worm Tea, under a different name. I've thought about it, but my house is so cluttered, I simply don't have room for a worm home, lol. I don't blame your S/O keeping your home chemical free. When I see that Fabreze commercial, a woman spraying her veggin bin in the fridge, or their couch, I get goose bumps. I live in IL so my citrus are potted, over-wintered indoors and summered outside..It's true, Meyer's bloom/fruit year round. Same with Ponderosa Lemons. Manderin Orange and Kumquats fruit most of the year, if you ever plan on adding more citrus, and prefer long fruiting seasons. Toni |
Jojo - to answer you question - many plants respond to internal rhythms (search endogenous and Circadian rhythm) that cause various physiological reactions based on time of day. Plants don't nap. They go through different phases that are either light dependant (photolysis, photosynthesis .....) or light independent (carbon fixation - the Calvin cycle ....). Many physiological reactions are linked directly to these cycles. There is no reason related to plant physiology that serves as contraindication to withhold water or fertilizer during either phase or in the evening; to wit, water/fertilize whenever the plant needs it.

Toni~ Thanks for taking time to answer me.. I've been the past few days looking for more info on this and cannot find anything that supports what you say. I did searches for 'when to water oxalis', 'when not to water', 'How to water oxalis' and info on leaves folding. The only thing close I found was info stating not to assume they need water because they are closed. Water when soil is dry. Drench and let it run out. Not to water when dormant. I did find plenty to support what Al suggested and that's part of why I got to looking around. They close due to reactions to light, weather it be too much or too little. Mine close during the brightest part of the day. They are sensitive to our intense sun, so I need to move them to dappled shade. Thanks Al~ I water mine when they need it, regardless of what the leaves are doing and they just put out a bunch of little ones! It's doing great. Actually they were watered just minutes before taking these pictures. JoJo |

Jojo, that's funny..while the sun is shining, my Ox's leaves spread wide. As the day progresses from late afternoon to early evening, leaves start folding until fully closed by nightfall. On very cloudy days, leaves barely unfold. One author compares the closing of leaves to a human napping/sleeping. We don't eat or drink while asleep, the same applies to plants. I find it fascinating how some plants are similar to people. Ever see a leaf jerk? Calatheas and their relatives do this every so often. |
I wouldn't want any forum members to get the idea they shouldn't water their houseplants in the evening. The author's anthropomorphisation (attributing human characteristics to plants/animals/objects) is very misleading. Plants don't eat or drink, nap or sleep; so the author was using a poor analogy in assigning these human traits to plants - not even close. Plants absolutely DO take up nutrients AND water (as close as they get to eating and drinking) during the dark phase (but they still don't 'sleep'). There is no physiological basis or any basis rooted in science that suggests it's counter-productive to water in the evening. Not that it proves a point, but I ALWAYS water my houseplants in the evening after I shut the puter down - just before bed, with nary an ill effect. Certainly no one turns the rain off at night .... It's often suggested that we don't water our outdoor plants late in the day or in the evening because we know that spraying water on foliage can provide the favorable incubation period required for a number of harmful fungal leaf diseases to get established that couldn't otherwise take hold, but that is something entirely separate from the authors suggestion not to water houseplants at night. Al |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 1, 11 at 16:53
FYI, more than one author stated, 'Do not water house plants in the evening.' It's written in numerous plant books, not one. This information can also be found on Google. I admit, I water certain plants at night, but those that fold leaves and succulents, get a drink in early morning or afternoon, never at night. I had two healthy plants. A Pachypodium and Cycad, Sago Palm. The soil was dry..both were in cool rooms. I knew I should have waited, but didn't. Ask any nursery owner why this is done. It isn't for econical reasons.. Once again, outdoor grown plants opposed to indoor plants, are like talking apples and oranges. There IS a difference. Toni |
Whatever - if the soil stays wet for days, what difference can it possibly make? Agree to disagree ..... but it remains that the author's analogy is a poor one. Al |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 1, 11 at 19:13
Whatever, indeed..some people think they know more than everyone else..including published authors who have studied plants and plant behavior. |

After reading this forum for quite some time, I finally have a question of my own! I have a beautiful oxalis that has been passed down through family, and now I would like to split it to give part as a gift to a friend. If I split the corms and repot it into two separate plants, will my original plant eventually return to its current size? I saw one posting referring to corms multiplying over time. Also, I am especially hesitating to do this because I would be devastated if my original plant dies as a result. Any feedback you all could share? |
It's almost foolproof if you let the plant dry down until it dies back to the soil line. Put it in a cool spot & wait a month or so, then bare root the plant, divide it, and repot into a soil that drains very freely. After you repot, keep the soil barely damp until it reawakens. You can then begin normal watering & fertilize the plant. Al |
Hi... If anyone is still reading this... I have a clover bought from one of those gift stores as a novelty. I bought it for fun and didnt expect anything to be honest (i am a beginner gardener). It grew all through summer and did really well. I recently repotted it to a larger pot as it had roots growing out of its puny original pot. I discovered that out of the 2 bulbs i started with, it now has 2 tiny extra "seeds". I left them as they were. My questions: Many thanks for any help! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Nov 26, 11 at 17:16
Lyn, since it was freezing outside, bringing indoors was the right thing to do. Because it got so cold, your Oxalis went dormant. Once leaves are totally wilted, remove them. Place in a warmer, 'not hot', sunny spot. Evenutally new leaves will grow. Are you fertilizing? If so, what type? Bright light is sufficient. Allow soil to dry between waterings. There were times I forgot to water my Oxalis..Leaves wilted a little..After a drink, leaves not only straighted out, but bloomed. What color are the leaves? Green, purple or another color? Toni |
A friend gave me her Oxalis to winter. She had planted a white and pink one in a pot with one with dark purple leaves and light mauve flowers. I can now find neither the pink nor the white one. Preferring to have one type per pot I dug up some corms of the purple-leaved one. I could find none of the others to plant separately. The leaves of the light mauve one are beautiful but long and spindly. Now everthing looks dead except for 1 leaf that recently appeared in one of the pots. Do you think the light mauve one has killed the pink and white ones? I am going to dig up all the corms I can find except in the pot where the leaf has appeared. If there are differences in them I shall plant them separately. How often should I water them? Is it best to wait till they are almost dry or will the plant show when it needs water? Is it better to water by placing it in a bowl of water or to water it from the top? Should I give them as much water as they can take at a time and seldom or only a little at a time? I am very fond of Oxalis and hope eventually to get a bulblet of Oxalis pes Caprae and grow it indoors as a houseplant because obnoxious weed as it is in many parts of the world the bright canary yellow flowers are so beautiful. It does not grow here in Sweden nor is it sold here. |

Does anyone know if an oxalis shamrock with white flowers would thrive in an indoor terrarium? Has anyone tried this? Naturally it would be indoors away from direct sunlight but would get indirect light. |

Hi everyone! My name's Noah, and this is my first journal here. I'm equally nervous and stoked to be here doing this, and I hope that what I write doesn't blow!
This journal's title is a reflection of how I feel. I'm interfaith (Catholic and Jewish) and 100% no doubt about it GAY. It feels funny to see that on my computer monitor right now. I really do juggle three very different worlds and all I want is to be a normal kid. As my Dad always says, "It's not going to happen!"
My life has always been about compromise. My parents met in college during Spring Break when the plans they had to go to Florida fell through, and they had their dorm rooms to themselves. Mom was a Freshman, Dad about to graduate with a business degree, and you don't need to be a Einstein to figure out what they did for fun. I'm the profit from that business deal, as Dad likes to say.
Mom didn't know she was pregnant, and she had no symptoms. Her and Dad stayed in touch, and she even went to his wedding a few weeks before I was born. I've been told that one night Mom became violently sick and was rushed to the hospital and minutes later I popped out. My Mom doesn't like surprises, and she never smiles when she talks about having me. How I got here isn't my problem, right?
My Dad shit a brick when he found out, and his family wasn't all so accepting either. Especially his new wife. Even more with Mom's Catholic family.
This is what I know: Since getting married was not going to happen Dad the businessman came up with a contract on how to take care of me, how much child support to pay, how different parts of my life and faith would be handled. I've seen it, and it's even notarized. Honestly, Mom got screwed in that deal financially.
I had to have a Bris, which I'm not happy about, and Dad chose my first name, Mom my middle. My parents ironically have the same very common last name, so that part was easy. I was baptized, and Dad's family helped with the Jewish part of things, but Mom didn't allow certain things to happen, and that's always been a source of tension. I lived with Mom and was only Jewish when I visited my Dad's family, and one thing my Mom did was let me eat bacon!!!! I really think she did that on purpose! To me that's funny in a warped way haha!
The real drama happened when I was about to turn twelve, and Dad's side of the family had me visit them in Florida to celebrate my birthday, and he brought up that I would have to start my classes to have my Bar Mitzvah soon…here I was having a good time celebrating my birthday and then the room was silent, everyone was staring at me. It was so quiet I could hear the clock on the wall ticking.
In the "contract" there was a clause that I would be free to decide which religion I would go with at any time.
I couldn't look him in the eye to say I wasn't going to have one, that I wanted to become Catholic. I wouldn't want to repeat the nasty things that were said to me and Mom, but that was the last time I saw my Jewish side of the family. To them I'm dead, except for my cousin Josh, who secretly e-mails me all the time, and my Uncle David, my Godfather and one of my closest friends.
Uncle David took Mom and I to a hotel and then drove us to the airport the next day for our flight home, and the last thing he said to me was this:
"As long as you have God in your heart you'll be fine."
I love him, and I always tell him that. He's more of a father to me than my own father is. To my Dad I'm just another check he writes every month. He doesn't even have a picture of me anywhere in his apartment in New York City, and trying to contact him is a waste of time. I may as well be dead.
This has been hard for me to write, but I think it's a good start.
Thanks for sharing your story and you wrote very well, so no worries there. So you were spurned by your dad's side of the family for choosing to be Catholic? Hey, you made a choice and they should respect that, but you can never predict how some people will react. How can anyone not like bacon? Eggs and pancakes would'nt be the same without it.
I find it interesting he wrote his own doctrine on how you'd be raised and what he would pay for support. That's usually decided in a family court. I guess you have to look at the positive, if the other family has disowned you, it's less you have to travel to see them.

How did you remember that? Students create original color memory games to assist with developing fine motor skills and visual-spatial abilities.
Prior to students creating original memory games, play some well-known memory games with them to stimulate their interest and familiarize them with the process of playing this type of game.
Adults find or mix eight different colors of Crayola® Washable Tempera Paint. Organize students into small groups and ask them to put on their Crayola® Art Smocks before covering the work area for their group with recycled newspaper.
Distribute 16 index cards (3" x 5") to use as cards. This number can be increased or decreased depending upon the age and skill set of the group. Using Crayola® Crayons or Colored Pencils, students sketch the outline of a favorite shape (square, circle, triangle, etc.) on two cards for the game.
Once the set of cards has been outlined, students use Crayola® Brushes to paint the inside of each shape, matching the colors with the shapes. For example, if Joan outlined two squares, her two squares will both be painted with the same color paint. Allow cards to dry overnight.
Before returning to the game cards, play another round of an established memory game. Verbalize the thinking and concepts involved. For instance, "I remember Kylie turned over a green card on her last turn. Let's see…where was that card? I think it was in the left column."
Return to student groups and organize the game cards for a round of their memory game. By the way, did students name their game?
To play Color Memory: Play with 2-3 friends. Mix the cards. Place them face down in four equal rows. Each player, in turn, selects two cards. Name the colors turned over. If the cards have matching color, keep the cards and take another turn. If the colors are different, turn the cards face down for the next player's turn. The game is over when all cards are matched.
Let's make something!

Review: Antipodean Cafe, Kuala Lumpur
With a red and black exterior and a patio occupied to the brim during lunch, Antipodean Cafe on Kuala Lumpur's trendy Jalan Telawi is one of Bangsar's most successful lunch and coffeehouses (though they're open for dinner too). Drawing inspiration from the taste and lifestyle of the Antipodes to the south, its extensive menu is locally sourced as much as possible and includes classics as well as well as more creative dishes.
Antipodean opened in 2011 and is a cosy meeting place offering all-day breakfasts as well as lunch and dinner. Interesting mixed juices — say Karl's Detox, a blend of celery, pineapple, cucumber and a hint of ginger — plus a wide range of other drinks and meals, are scribbled on a wall serving the purpose of a blackboard menu. Antipodean isn't miserly with their portion sizes, with for instance the pumpkin and corn fritters plentiful — and also perfectly crisp around the edges of a soft, rich centre. For the indecisive eater, deciding on a meal here might prove to be a challenge.
Indonesian specialty roaster Merdeka Coffee supplies the coffee, which they also sell online as well as in store. It also offers the world's most expensive coffee, courtesy of a certain animal dropping: kopi luwak, mainly produced in Indonesia, is one of the more expensive and interesting items on the menu. While prices are stiffer than what you'd get dining at local hawker stalls, it's affordable in comparison to other Western restaurants in Kuala Lumpur — expect to pay around 18-22 ringgit for a sandwich. And if you appreciate good coffee, then their prices are not astounding, especially next to establishments like Starbucks and Coffee Bean.
A favourite among expats, Antipodean is usually a busy place during lunch but the crowds tend to keep moving. Service is efficient and attentive, while kids will be entertained here, with a play area set up to keep young children occupied during their parents' meal, although they can bring whatever treasures they find to the table.
With smooth internet provided, this has the potential of being a good place to catch up on things you have to do while enjoying a smooth blend — but the lack of electric sockets makes it difficult to linger and work here.
Jalan Telawi is a great place to seek out other restaurants too. If you'd prefer to experience an authentic Malay dinner, check out nearby Rebung Chef Ismail.

What kind of amaryllis do you think it is? It's never flowered and I've had it over a decade. Plus the base of the fronds are wrapped in a paperlike skin that is reminiscent of some palms. |
- Posted by FlowerPotTipper 6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 19:15
I'm pretty sure that's a Clivia, atleast that's what it looks like to me. It does flower, but it has to have a resting period and stuff like that, you should research on it as the flowers are very beautiful!! |

Lady, It is difficult to tell by the leaves alone, but an Amaryllis will have a bulb, whereas a Clivia will have thick, fleshy roots. Clivias are evergreen, while Amaryllis will lose its leaves some time after flowering and "go to sleep" for awhile. My Clivia has never bloomed for me in over 5 years, so I won't give any advice there, but my Amaryllis blooms each year. I don't give it any special care, just treat as a usual houseplant while it has leaves, never letting it dry out all the way, and removing the leaves one by one as they yellow and die. I, and others, could go on and on about these all day, but I'm sure there are other conversations that cover all of this. First step is figuring out what it actually is, then going from there. FF |

Temple, Texas, Nov 07, 2011 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced investments in 33 states and one territory that will create jobs and improve the quality of life in rural communities across the nation.
"These projects not only provide needed infrastructure in rural communities, they contribute to the Obama administration's continued efforts to create quality jobs and improve the nation's economy," Vilsack said. "The projects announced today will help strengthen facilities and amenities in rural towns and small cities."
"The Community Facilities Program is a vital funding source available to rural communities to help them keep pace with the needs of their rising populations," said Texas USDA Rural Development State Director Paco Valentin. "We are pleased that ten rural communities in Texas will directly benefit from more than $8 million in funding announced today."

The $46.8 million announced today is being funded through the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Program. Funding of individual recipients is contingent upon meeting the terms of the loan or grant agreement. USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Program helps finance essential community facilities for public use in rural areas. These facilities include child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted-living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public buildings and transportation. Through this program, USDA ensures that such facilities are available to all rural residents. These funds are available to public bodies, non-profit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes.
Today's announcement is part of a series of rural infrastructure investments expected by Secretary Vilsack during the next two weeks. This effort supports the goal of the American Jobs Act, which makes critical infrastructure improvements to put people back to work immediately.
Since taking office, President Obama's Administration has taken significant steps to improve the lives of rural Americans and has provided broad support for rural communities. The Obama Administration has set goals of modernizing infrastructure by providing broadband access to 10 million Americans, expanding educational opportunities for students in rural areas, and providing affordable health care. In the long term, these unparalleled rural investments will help ensure that America's rural communities are repopulating, self-sustaining and thriving economically.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $155 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. More information about USDA Rural Development can be found at www.rurdev.usda.gov.

After reading the thread "will birds eat these berries", it made me wonder about what berry producing shrub or tree that birds don't like. I of course want berries that birds will eat, so I'm wondering what berries the birds don't eat.
Anybody? Terry |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have several nandina bushes that were here when we bought the house. The birds never touch the berries, but they still sprout up every where. |
Terry, This post isn't about berries the birds won't eat at all, but I know I read somewhere that it's good to have berries which are edible to the birds, but not their favorites, so there's something for them in the winter if needed. I've heard Aronia (chokeberry) mentioned as a plant like this. Lori |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Sat, Jun 23, 07 at 22:05
I think it does depend on ones yard. I know I heard that birds will not eat Aronia unless there is nothing else but around here the birds scarf up the black Aronia berries as soon as they get ripe. And its not as if there aren't lots of other fruiting shrubs for them to pick from. Now the red Aronia is never eaten except in winter as a last resort. |
I believe it's the red Aronia I have (which I also think the Latin name has been changed). I bought it because I read that they eat the red one and not the black. Mine has yet to bloom, just bought this spring at a native sale with not much to it, so I can't comment on the fragrance. But I went to another native sale that had the black ones and they smelled heavenly. And of course I went on a day that was for pick-up only. Since it was about a 2 hour drive, no way was I going back the next to buy myself one! I guess I should of worded my initial post differently and added in what berries do you find that your birds don't eat, but you have knowledge that they eat them somewhere else or something to that effect...because as Rita pointed out, there are berries that maybe the birds in my back yard won't eat, but they eat them in somebody else's. |

Summary: Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the classic Northern epic of a hero's triumphs as a young warrior and his fated death as a defender of his people.

It is not hard to draw parallels in this story to the historical curve of consciousness in the twentieth century, but the poem also tra ...show morenscends such considerations, telling us psychological and spiritual truths that are permanent and liberating.
In his new translation, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney has produced a work that is both true, line by line, to the original poem and a fundamental expression of his own creative gift.

Did I over pitch? Did I under pitch? What's going to happen to my beer? These have been a big concern of mine for a while, yet I never dove too deep into it. For a long time I'd just smack my WYeast pack, let it bloat and pitch – or just dump my vial of White Labs in my primary. I never really had any issues, but I also wasn't hitting my target FGs either.
When I started doing small batches (1 gallon), I would use an entire smack pack or vial and was seeing much better results in hitting my FG. And now I know why, I was under pitching by just dumping 1 pack/vial of yeast straight into the fermentor for a 5 gallon batch.
Ideal Pitching Rates
Ales – you want to pitch around 750K cells of viable yeast, for every milliliter of wort, for every degree plato.
Lagers – you want to pitch around 1.5M cells of viable yeast, for every milliliter of wort, for every degree plato.
So to find out your target yeast count = (# of ale/lager cells) x (ml of wort) x (degrees Plato)
So on average for a 5 gallon batch, you'll want around 180 billion cells or 15 billion per degree of Plato. Cell counts vary by strain, but a large WYeast pack contains around 100 billion and a vial of White Labs has 70-120 billion cells.
So if that's the case, you'd need 2 vials of While Labs or 2 packs of WYeast for "optimal" conditions, but using it as is will still make some damn fine beer. I don't have lagering capabilities, so I only brew ales. I'm using a 2-liter starter in my 5-gallon batches and getting great results.
Make A Yeast Starter
If you don't want to double up on yeast, create a starter or even re-pitch your yeast. By making a starter, you're going to be miles ahead of many homebrewers and should see immediate results in your next batch.
Follow the link above for full info on making a starter. But if you want the quick version:
- Add 1 gram of DME for every 10 ml of water
- Bring to a boil for 5 minutes
- Cool, aerate (swirl or aerator), add yeast – yeast nutrient optional
- Let propagate for 24-48 hours before pitching
Let me know your thoughts, tips, trick or what's been working (or not working) for you.

Not bad
Very much looking like it was made for tv, I cant say I was a huge fan of this production. Still the acting was good, there was some humor in the script and the camera, editing and other technical aspects were good enough. I guess Im just not a fan of spoofs.

A review of Ivoryby elmerlang on 10/01/2008First off, you really need a better compression for web solution. There was hardly a moment when the image wasnt defaced by pixelation. It is very hard to enjoy a film where any movement creates an unwatchable screen. For me, that turned this film into a radio program where I ignored the visuals and concentrated on the audio. That said, I found I could enjoy it on that level... read
A review of "Hey, you! What's that sound?"by elmerlang on 08/29/2008I liked the music, it seemed to imply a fun sensibility, I like that it was short, but bro there was not a single shot (except for 2 seconds when this lady in white stood at a sink) that I could make out. Did you intentionally make it that way or wha-?
A review of my friend jesusby elmerlang on 08/29/2008I had a feeling this was going to come out one way (see above headline) and it didnt. Overall it was pretty well done, not an overly original idea, but it gets put over smartly and doesnt go on too long to make the idea dull or fatuous. The kids both seemed on top of their characters, the camera work was simple, not bad.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Daisy!
Facts about Daisy
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Daisy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Long haired Chihuahua mix
Approximately 1 year old
She weighs 10 pounds and she's full grown.
Daisy is doing great with her foster brother and sister. Daisy is crate trained and knows how to use a doggie door. She is currently learning her basic commands. This precious sweety loves to cuddle and rides great in the car. Daisy is a little shy at first, but it doesn't take her too long to warm up to you.
Will do best with older kids (9 and older).
Guaranteed to love you unconditionally and be your best friend and perfect companion.
Other Pets at Pittie Me Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Daisy, a Gilbert Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kindle going nationwide in Target stores on June 6 {Engadget}
Jun 3rd 2010 3:12PM @Stewie Vader - Actually, don't count on it. I was just at Target and like every other electronic device (EEE PC, etc) they have a disabled demo Kindle on display. While it actually shows the e-ink display, the rest of it is disabled - buttons don't work, you can't change pages, nothing. I never understood that about Target. All of their display items are disabled/fake demo units - even their alarm clocks! How can someone decide if something is worth buying if they can't test it?
Spiritual Guidance: Triage {WoW}
Apr 25th 2010 11:11PM I think if they go this route, they should consider bringing back down-ranking. Back in BC, you could choose which rank of heal to use that was appropriate for the need. Don't need to use Healing Touch(Rank 27) since it will overheal? then toss a Rank 15, and save the mana but get the job done.
Locking us into the max rank forces us to overheal, or wait until the last millisecond in order to make the heal as efficient as possible. Sure we have several different heals to choose from and most healing classes are getting new ones (except Druids), but downranking let's you choose the right heal for the job.
Think of a socket wrench set that only had 1/2inch increments between sizes. you would always be searching for the right socket, but rarely would the right size be available.
WoW Rookie: Effective movement and camera use {WoW}
Feb 25th 2010 4:23PM I'd suggest looking at Clique for healers - as a shaman I have my 3 heals bound thusly:
Ctrl+RC = Healing wave
Alt +RC = Lesser healing wave
ctrl+alt +RC = Chain heal
SHift +rc = Cure
ctrl+alt+shift + RC= Earth Shield
I can almost instantly switch between big/little heals with my left hand on Ctrl/alt and my mouse right click to select my group member. Additionally that leaves me with my focus and target open for the tank and the mob.
As a tank, I'm still learning the fine art of situational awareness via mouse movement and key combos. strafe left/turn right makes for a nice round circle to move mobs into a little pack for AOE

Nice wallet
It's very slim. And these slots are right in the back so it's convenient to take out your cards. My friend said the color is fresh and dewy.
September 18, 2014
This wallet is lovely .
Really like my new wallet-it is sleek and great for small purses.
It is a good organizer in a small package. Color is very nice as well and easy to find in my purse.

Great size for small purses!
I love this wallet. I have a similar one but it doesn't have the snap closure for bills. It's a nice soft leather, very thin even when it's full of credit cards.
June 28, 2014
This is a great purchase
I love the slinder feel to this wallet. It holds everything nicely and it looks great
August 9, 2014
Gorgeous quality leather, perfect wallet
This wallet is truly a quality product. Both the zipper and button clasp are well-made and durable. It's the perfect size to slip into your purse, but slim and stylish enough to carry on its own.
