    How to Save Money on Your Homeowners Insurance in Florida & Beyond: How to Lower Your Homeowners Premiums & How I Saved Over $1,000

    May 6, 2022 /

    If you are one of many homeowners who felt a near-electric shock when opening your most recent insurance renewal, you are not alone.  Insurance rates are skyrocketing, especially in states like Florida where premiums are rising at double and even triple rates.  And no, "triple" is not a typo now that exorbitant insurance rate hikes have become the "new normal."  Adding fuel to this fire, many homeowners are finding themselves suddenly uninsured after being dropped by their insurer -- often without ever having filed a single claim.  Even if you are one of the lucky ones who has not yet been "ghosted" by your carrier, your latest policy renewal might…

    How to Make A Bromeliad Kokedama Hanging Moss Ball for A Beautiful Vertical Garden

    March 18, 2022 /

    If you have a bromeliad and are looking for a fun, creative way to display your epiphyte plant in the "open air" as nature intended, let me introduce you to Kokedama.  In simple terms, Kokedama is the Japanese art of growing plants suspended in a ball of moss.  Kokedama lets you turn your air plants, including bromeliads, into eye-level works of art by growing them in what is essentially a hanging vertical garden.  Visually captivating yet easy for both the experienced and novice gardener alike, the resulting garden is beautifully tropical yet low-maintenance -- provided you have the right plants and conditions.  Since Kokedama is not for every plant or…

    How Much Cold Can A Phalaenopsis Orchid Tolerate? Orchids & Cold Weather

    February 18, 2022 /

    As an arctic blast prepares to sweep all the way to the Florida Keys, a question on many orchid growers' minds is, "How cold is too cold for my orchid?"  Well, it's on the minds of many of my neighbors, most of whom have a Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Cattleya or other orchid growing on trees or in baskets.  As a matter of fact, in January, blossoms tumble from branches and baskets brightening each yard with flashes of color each more eye-catching than the next.  It's like springtime in winter... that is until a Canadian cold front is forecast to blast frigid artic air our way.  Which begs the question, "How cold…

    January 21, 2022 /

    A blooming Phalaenopsis is a beautiful sight indeed... especially when those first buds appear on your Phalaenopsis in the chill of mid-winter.  Of all orchid types, Phalaenopsis is actually one of the easiest orchids to rebloom.  There are, however, a number of factors at play when it comes to blooming a Phalaenopsis, or "moth orchid," in winter.  Believe it or not, some of these factors are actually within your control.  Among these, surprisingly, is the "internal clock" within a Phalaenopsis that lets the orchid know the time has come to prepare to bloom.  How exactly can you influence this?  Well, read on because if your "Phael" is struggling to rebloom…

    Can You Write Your Own Will? Plus, Why You Need A Will Even If You Think You Don’t

    January 13, 2022 /

    A last will and testament may be the least desirable conversation topic, but the fact is that a will determines what happens to all your earthly possessions and even your body upon your death.  In recent chats with middle-aged friends, I learned that not one of them has a will-- despite having plenty of assets.  As it turns out, their situation is quite common.  A recent Gallup poll finds that slightly less than half of U.S. adults, 46%, have a will to express how they want their money and estate to be handled after their death.  Whether the potential cost is prohibitive or just sheer procrastination, the fact is that…

    If you don't rely on "cloud" storage, this scenario has likely happened to you.  You go to capture that once in a lifetime photo or maybe just your cat being extra cute.  Suddenly, instead of capturing the fleeting, magical moment, you are greeted with the message, "iPhone storage is full."  Even worse, if you don't have "cloud" storage, your phone is no longer updating.  Without updates, your apps no longer work, and you may even find that you are not receiving some text messages.  Yes, that seems to be another unfortunate consequence of not updating your iPhone.  Now that your state-of-the-art smart phone has been rendered about as useful as…
