Are lime test kits accurate and what type is best. Can you put lime on a la wn in January?

Hi! I was able to take a potted Poinsettia from our church yesterday to take home. How much watering does this plant require? I would like to keep it healthy as long as I can. It is such a beautiful plant! Thank you for your help! -- Gary

Hello, I am helping design some landscaping for the entrance of our neighborhood. I would like to plant as many low maintenance native plants as possible, but don't want it to look unkept or have the plants go crazy and take over. I am planting along the street, about 600 feet long and in full sun. Our budget is $1500. Can you recommend some plants and landscaping ideas please?

This spider was found inside our home recently. Can you ID it? Thanks!

This tree has been dead for at least several years. Is this bark destruction the work of woodpeckers? The bark destruction occurs at roughly 3 feet above the ground and continues to 6 feet above the ground. Pileated woodpeckers most likely? Thank you for your help!

My peace lily is turning brown on the buds, am I overwatering it’s under watering? Is my house too cold? Thanks

Every year I pay to have my fescue lawn reseeded when it looks very thick and healthy to me. Is it really necessary to reseed every year? The companies say that fescue grass only lives one year and needs reseeding but mine looks very healthy and the reseeding does a lot of damage.

I am a new gardener in Baltimore MD. I'm looking for programs to help me grow. I would like to garden full time. I would like to become certified. Need some direction.

I had a very healthy house plant - Fabian Arailas, however lately it has been dropping leaves. They are also getting yellow spots and it seems like there it white dust (?) on the underside of some leaves. The leaves are not shriveling, just simply falling off the stem. We thought we were over watering, so we took the fabian arailas out and "let him dry" and we re potted in a better draning pot. We added peat moss and pearlite to the soil to hope for better drainage, but it has not seemed to help. Before it was really just limited to one stalk that has falling leaves, but now it seems to be more. The leaves are also very droppy - which before they were not. What is happening? And please tell me I can fix it!

We have recently downsized from a yard in a beautiful home to a beautiful townhome allowing patio planting only. In addition, we have northwest exposure. Can you please suggest some lush, colorful easy to manage plants for me to grow as well as a couple practical vegetable pots?
