My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

White substance on soil

20 years ago

Hello, Another newbie question: There is some sort of white substance on the top of the soil around one of my hibiscus plants. Any ideas what this might be? I can post a photo if necessary.

Thanks, Mark
