A Winter Jasmine Is Quite Hardy and Attractive

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:37:20 +0000

Hailing from Western China, the Winter Jasmine outdoor bonsai tree, or the jasminum nudiflorum, is a great little bonsai that is hardy enough to survive in zones six through ten. While it’s native to China, it has been grown in many different western countries since the middle of the 1800s. The Winter Jasmine features glossy, bright green pinnate leaves that split into three oblong leaflets at the end. The branches are almost like vines in a way, they are so thin. Before the leaves start to appear, the Winter Jasmine actually bears little one inch yellow flowers. They start at the bottom of the stems and slowly work their way towards the end so that by the late winter, the flowers have reached the tips. If branches dip down to touch the moist soil, it’s possible for them to split off, take root, and grow a brand new plant.

One of the reasons many people love growing bonsai, especially outdoor bonsai trees, is because they’re small and take up little space. Those who live in apartments or condos often don’t have room for a large garden, but they have plenty of space to grow small bonsai plants on their balconies or patios.

Aquasana Whole House Filters

Aquasana whole house filters are a great way to get your whole house’s water supply filtrated. These whole house filters connect directly to your water supply coming into the house. Either they can be placed outside the house or in the garage. It can be used with either municipal or well water. They are great because they filter the whole house including both your laundry and dishwasher and baths and showers. So you really get your money’s worth out of them. The amount of chlorine and other chemicals in our water system, plus the fact that we’ve stopped using bottled water is reason enough to own one of these.

The model we chose is called the Aquasana Rhino EQ-300 and is initially installed by a licensed plumber. The replacement filter which last three years can easily be replaced by the homeowner after the initial installation. The EQ-300 is Underwriters Laboratory approved. Our family really enjoys our filter, our dark clothes are staying colorfast, our skin and hair is silkier, and the dishes have less spots and are much cleaner. We really didn’t have any idea of how our water quality was affecting so many different parts of our lives.
