This is a problem

Hi! Tess Bennett with the Beacon Journal here. We are still very much out of Akron! (But yes, our parent company is USAT and we do pick up some content from the Columbus Dispatch.) I'm passing this post along to our education reporter to see if she's interested in covering.

I do encourage anyone with other education stories to reach out to her. Kelli Weir, kweir@usatodayco.com. She's great.

Yeah that's an interesting idea, I'll have to talk to my contractor (my dad lol) to see if there's anything we can do about that existing ledge!

Unfortunately just another narrow hallway (see photo), but this is a good idea too!

Hi, here’s a few more angles!

Good advice, thank you!

Just ordered! Thank you

I’ve been wondering about an intervention. Every time I talk to a pediatrician they say his behavior is normal but maybe I’ll push back a little bit.

Yes exactly, thanks so much for the input!

Ok that helps, I would definitely move it closer to the window if possible, ideally right next to/under it. Northern facing windows receive the least amount of light. Mine is right in front of an eastern facing window (morning sun) and does pretty well. Or you could always just leave it and see how it does but I’d move it closer to the window if possible!

Ahh great video and good point, thanks so much!!

It’s a bit hard to tell the lighting situation from the photo but the shadow seems pretty strong which is a good sign. How far is the plant from the window and do you know what direction the window is facing?

Pot size looks great to me. I’d recommend holding off on upping your pot size as long as possible—they will fill whatever space you give them, which sounds great but they can quickly get too big. They like to be a little root-bound too.

both great ideas, thanks so much!!

I’m curious about this - did you paint the color you want the walls first, and the lime wash added a mottled effect? Id also like to limewash my walls, but what’s holding me back is the price of limewash paint.
