Comments (2)Now if you were in the UK I would say use a John Innes ericiaceous compost - this suits lime hating plants (Rhodes, Camellia, erica etc) but has a sterilized loam component that gives the compost more weight that a fibrous based compost, and acers do very well in it. Sounds like you are chasing your tail a bit with conflicting advice...hope I haven't made it worse!...See MoreI'm about to paint my daughters room pink. Can't decide if I should al
Comments (9)Same echo . the sample is a very bright bubble gum pink. The room will be more liveable as a muted pale pink and the peachy pinks are the most sophisticated / muted and prettiest when soft .. they can mix just a little of yours with a plain warm white to get a better tone, or start over with a historic pink http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/queenannepink#ce_s=queen ann also test sheer pink, nautilus shell, or coastal cottage a tad deeper http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/coastalcottage...See MoreHelp!!
