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.

September Foliage

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

My sigilattis sits in a unique spot on my patio that gets direct west sun on it for 2 hours each afternoon around 4 pm and since I water this from above, I didn't pay attention to detail. This is what I found :

Those new leaves are 100% pink to start. She may be a slow grower but she puts on quite the show doing it ! She doesn't mind the 90 degree plus weather at all.

Show me your tinged, splashy leaves !!

    Same here, Monica. My sigillatis does get the deep pink with the young leaves, but those that redden up for the Floridians just stay green for me. Once in awhile, I get lucky. I had this almost against the east glass in the GH and turned it around a few days ago (tjadasmalangensis):

    It had just rained hard enough to rain in the window. I wish I'd seen it a few days earlier, because this was after days of gloom...maybe it was even darker!
