Let your hair down: Grow a ponytail palm

P

ONYTAILS ARE IN these days, so why not on plants also? I’m not suggesting gathering together the leaves of your philodendron or spider plant with a rubber band to make a “tail.” What I am suggesting is to grow a ponytail palm.

You won’t have to go to the trouble of rubber banding this plant’s leaves together, because it’s already been done for you.

Ponytail palm usually sports a single ponytail, rising right up the center of the plant, of strappy leaves each 3 or more feet long. For added flair, the leaves squiggle around toward their thinning tips.

Be careful around ponytail palm’s leaves, though, because they are slightly sharp and serrated along their edges. Rubbed the wrong way, they could wound.

The base of this plant is every bit as interesting – in its own way, even pretty – as is the ponytail.

As you follow the slightly rough stem down, it all of a sudden swells out into a giant bulb. On my plant, that bulb sits there like a buff-colored volleyball buried halfway into the soil. Now you see why this plant has also been called elephant foot tree.

ting soil amended for better drainage with extra perlite or sand, should hold the plant for another decade or more.

Under ideal conditions – in its native habitat of tropical Mexico, for example – ponytail palm will grow 30 feet high.

Plants may do well in humidity, but remember they need light. Several months ago, I received an asparagus fern terrarium as a gift.

But after two months in my bathroom, the fern turned yellow due to insufficient light. So take your plant’s light needs into consideration before placing it in the bathroom.

n your eagerness to add warmth to your interiors during the quarantine gardening boom, don’t forget about one humidity-filled haven: the bathroom.

“Bathrooms are a fun category,” said Annette Gutierrez of the Los Angeles plant store Potted.

“I’ve got a whole hoya thing happening in mine. I love how they hang.

Hanging plants are great in the bathroom where counter space is at a premium, and since most houseplants are tropicals, they love the humidity.”

Filled with moisture, bathrooms are an ideal environment for humidity-loving houseplants, but don’t substitute humidity for watering. “You still have to water your plants,” Gutierrez added.

Bloomscape plant expert Joyce Mast finds the bathroom a fun place to experiment. (And what better time than during a long-running pandemic?) You can place them on a shelf, mount them on tile with adhesive-backed hooks or hang them from a tension rod. “Don’t be afraid

Vally hit peak with ceramic artwork

RTISTS OFTEN create works in many different mediums — ceramics, painting, sculpture, jewelry and even metalwork. After World War I, many artists traveled to different countries and schools to learn new “looks” and techniques. England, France, Germany and Scandinavia were leading art centers.

Vally Wieselthier (18951945) was famous in Germany by the 1920s but almost unknown in the United States.

She was born in Austria and studied under Michael Powolny from 1914 to 1920, then continued working with the artists of the new Wiener Werkstatte. She was a leading ceramic artist and designer making figurines, female heads, vases and more.

In 1929, she moved to the U.S. and worked in New York making large ceramic statues and also designing dinnerware for the Sebring factory in Ohio; ironstone dinnerware designs for Mayer Pottery in Trenton, New Jersey; and working at Cowan Pottery in Ohio, where she introduced the Wiener Werkstatte style.

She also designed glassware, jewelry, textiles, papier-mache mannequins, furniture and even metal elevator doors.

With all her success and fame, few pieces are seen in U.S. auctions. Neal Auction Company sold an 8-inch-high Wiener Werkstatte vase made in 1925 signed with both “WW” (Wiener Werkstatte) and “VW” (Vally Wieselthier) for $1,037.

President John F. Kennedy.

Your pen may be worth as much as $250.

A. Maurice Berger, a

French pharmacist, invented the perfume lamp in 1897 when he added perfume to lamp oil or other liquid fuel.

Electric perfume lamps that used a lightbulb to heat the perfume were made by the early 1900s. The fragrance is emitted through small holes in the lamp.

Perfume lamps have been made in many different figural shapes and were made by manufacturers in several different countries. The lamp with a lightbulb, but without the perfume inside, is often used as a nightlight.

Today a battery-operated or plug-in product, diffuser or spray can be used to provide a pleasant scent to a room.

vanity if you’re low on shelf space.” Spider plants are easy to propagate because they produce plantlets at the ends of their stalks. Simply cut one of the plantlets and place it in water. When roots are about an inch long, transfer the plant to potting soil.

Parlor palm Like most tropical plants, Chamaedorea elegans thrives in warm, humid rooms, so it helps to mist them or place them on a tray filled with moist pebbles. The miniature palm is a slow grower that can reach about 3 feet high, so you don’t have to worry about it overtaking the small space of a bathroom.

Prayer plant Calathea, often called prayer plant because of the way its leaves open during the day and close at night, will thrive in medium to low light and the added humidity that a bathroom would provide. Although beautiful, with dramatic foliage, calathea can be a diva and needs consistent watering, pruning and feeding.

“Hanging plants are great in the bathroom where counter space is at a premium, and since most houseplants are tropicals, they love the humidity.”

Annette Gutierrez, of the Los Angeles plant store Potted

Orchid Phalaenopsis from Trader Joe’s will do well if the bathroom has a window, said Huntington orchid specialist Brandon Tam. “The higher humidity is a definite plus but not mandatory,” he said. “I recommend having a few orchids in the bathroom if you have space.

People will have higher success with the more observations that they make. The bathroom is one of the more visited rooms.

That’s why I tell people to put them where they will be able to check on them throughout the day.”

Lipstick plant The long-stemmed Aeschynanthus radicans, also known as lipstick plant, is an excellent hanging plant for the bathroom as it prefers high humidity. Give it bright light, moderate water and misting and it will produce bright red 2-inchlong flowers that peek out of 1-inch calyxes, or tubes, that resemble a tiny tube of lipstick.

What’s the best way to remove black bathtub stains?

Q. When we took up the

rubber mat in my son’s fiberglass bathtub, we discovered black stains.

Efforts to clean with mold and mildew remover and Soft Scrub with bleach had no effect. The tub was installed in 2005, but we only recently saw the stains. No dye has been used in it. How can we remove the stains?

A. Fiberglass tubs and

shower-tub combinations are lightweight, which makes them easy to install, and they are often inexpensive. But the finish is prone to scratching, cracking and staining.

And, as you’ve discovered, stains aren’t easy to remove.

Before you give up on trying to scrub away the stains, try the cleaning process Home Depot recommends for tough stains on fiberglass: Smear on a paste of baking soda and water, and cover that with a towel soaked in vinegar. Wait one hour, then rub with a cloth or sponge.

Rinse. Wipe again with a clean microfiber cloth.

If the stains remain (and there’s a good chance they will), one option is to have the tub refinished. National Refinishing in Chantilly, Virginia, (703-327-4799; nationaltubandtile.com), which specializes in refinishing surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens, has several “before” pictures on its website that show fiberglass tubs with stains even worse than the ones on your tub.

The “after” pictures show the gleaming results of a new finish, but, of course, the pictures were taken when the finish was new.

National Refinishing and other tub-refinishing companies make stained fiberglass tubs look new by spraying them with an acrylic epoxy.

National Refinishing charges $425 for a tub alone or $995 for a tub and shower surround. If you have tile around

the tub, the company can refinish that and the grout lines, too, using the same material.

Having a professional refinish a tub costs about the same as buying a new one — or even more, if you base the price of the new tub on a budget model.

At Home Depot, for example, a standard 60-inch-long drop-in tub starts at around $155 if you buy one with a porcelain enamel finish on steel or around $254 if you opt for an acrylic tub.

But when you replace a bathtub, its cost is just part of the equation. Unless you are handy enough to do the work yourself, you will need to hire people to make the switch, including a plumber to do the connections. And it might take some work to get the new tub to fit correctly against the tile or whatever is on the walls around the current tub.

Given these costs, installing a new tub probably makes more sense as part of a bathroom remodel than as a stand-alone way to handle stains.

If refinishing makes sense but the cost is too steep, consider using a do-it-yourself tub refinishing kit.

Rust-Oleum’s Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit costs $23.70 at Home Depot. One kit should be enough for the two recommended coats on a standard bathtub.

But will a DIY finish work?

Home Depot’s online listing includes reviews from about 1,300 customers, who gave this finish an average rating of four stars, with about half of the reviewers giving it five stars. But at least 170 people assigned just one star. They complained mostly that the finish bubbled up or didn’t stick well.

A Rust-Oleum product-support representative, who gave his name only as Arthur, said that when problems occur, it’s usually because the surface wasn’t cleaned or scuff-sanded thoroughly beforehand, as the instruc-

The productsupport specialist suggested starting at a back corner and working toward the front in small sections, perhaps 2 feet by 2 feet. Bubbles may appear right after the finish goes on, but the finish is selfleveling, so they should disappear as the finish cures.

You can make a stained fiberglass bathtub look like new, writes Jeanne Huber. (METRO CREATIVE ARTS)

tions specify, or because someone failed to remove all of the residue before applying the new finish. Sometimes people brush back and forth too much or put on a coat that’s too thick, which can also keep the finish from curing properly, he said. The temperature and relative humidity also matter.

Professional refinishers spray on the new finish, which should result in a smooth, even coating if done correctly. Rust-Oleum recommends applying its finish with a brush or a 1/4-inch nap roller, so good painting techniques are needed to achieve

a smooth, even coat.

The product-support specialist suggested starting at a back corner and working toward the front in small sections, perhaps 2 feet by 2 feet. Bubbles may appear right after the finish goes on, but the finish is self-leveling, so they should disappear as the finish cures.

But if the finish separates right after you apply it, something went wrong with the preparation. Stop and figure that out before you coat the whole tub.

The DIY finish should last for at least several years, the Rust-Oleum representative

said. At that point, you could redo all of the preparation steps and apply a new coat or two of finish, he said.

If that seems like too much work for the expected life of the finish, or if you don’t want to tackle this job in the first place, there’s something else you can try: Buy a new mat for the tub floor and cover the stains. Out of sight, out of mind – until it’s time to remodel.

Captivated by bold tile? Here’s how to do it right

Although bold tile floors seem like an appealing design choice at first glance, Elizabeth Mayhew writes that they are a commitment in terms of cost and labor. (METRO CREATIVE ARTS)

I

By Elizabeth Mayhew

Special to The Washington Post

f you haven’t snapped the picture yourself, you have probably seen it on social media: an image of two feet, shot from above, standing on an intricately patterned ceramic mosaic- or cement-tiled floor. Sometimes the person’s shoes are of interest, but more often, it’s the graphic flooring that catches your eye.

Of course, tiled and patterned floors have a long, ancient history in places such as Turkey, Greece, Morocco, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico. (Remember when you could travel and see them in person?) Here in the United States, such flooring is a popular design choice in hotels and restaurants, where it is often the only pattern in the room.

(Remember staying at hotels and eating inside restaurants?)

The propagation of these social media images, I think, is largely responsible for making tiled mosaic and cement floors done in bold patterns a growing trend in home design.

But although such floors might seem like an appealing design choice — especially after you have seen them in all their glory on social media — they are a commitment in terms of

cost and labor, not to mention household disturbance. There are, however, ways you can get the look without an “oh my, what did I do” outcome. I spoke with two designers about how they approached the challenge in their own homes, and how homeowners can do the same.

Jen McDonald, a Houston-based home stylist and an avid DIYer, is a self-described patterned-floor fan, so when she and her husband bought their home — a nondescript 1970s split-level that she says “had no character” — she used an ornate black, white and gray cement square tile in her laundry room. (The space has since been converted into an office/classroom/craft room for McDonald and her three children.) The flooring makes the room more fun — just what she wanted and needed in

her laundry room, McDonald jokes — and the space quickly became the room her friends commented on most often.

“The tiles make a huge impact, and they definitely define the room,” she says. McDonald acknowledges that the flooring was a big commitment because, unlike a rug, you can’t just roll it up if you get sick of it. But she says the bold pattern was tempered by the classic black-and-white color palette.

And there has been an additional benefit to the choice of tile, McDonald says: The floor is easy to clean and care for.

“I love rugs,” she says, “but having a tiled surface is just smarter with a young family.”

Katie Ridder, a New Yorkbased interior designer known for her bold use of color and pattern, has been experimenting with floor and wall tiles

since returning from a 1989 learned the hard way. “The cetrip she and her husband, ramic tiles can chip,” she says. architect Peter Pennoyer, took “We have taken to touching to Turkey. Perhaps one of up our floor with purple nail the greatest design gambles polish.”

For the 12th time this year, the average rate on the popular 30-year mortgage dropped to a new record low, according to a Freddie Mac survey released Thursday, amid long-term intervention by the Federal Reserve to boost the housing market and a post-election rally in the stock market.

The average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 2.78% from 2.81% with an average 0.7 point. (A point is a fee buyers pay, typically about 1% of the loan, to get a better rate.) The 2.78% average rate is well below the 3.69% level a year ago and was the lowest point since the quasi-government agency began conducting the survey in 1971.

The 15-year fixed-rate average remained at 2.32%, with an average 0.6 point. The fiveyear adjustable-rate average of 2.89%, with an average 0.3 point, was up from the 2.88% of the previous week. A year ago, the 15-year rate was 3.13% and the five-year was 3.39%.

“It’s not surprising that rates hit another record low this week,” said George Ratiu, senior economist with Realtor. com. “We’ve seen the stock market go massively up and massively down lately, even just this week, which means even more investors are moving to the bond market for safety and better returns.”

Mortgage rates since March have fallen significantly, driven mainly by a Federal Reserve intervention designed to stabilize the housing market.

Some experts say rates would be even lower if the lending community was better equipped to deal with the crush of applications they are spurring.

Oak ice box is still cool

IKE POT-BELLIED stoves and pie safes, oak ice boxes were once part of every kitchen’s standard equipment.

Although modern refrigerators made them obsolete years ago, ice boxes like this one are still popular — only this time with collectors rather than homemakers.

This handsome and authentic do-it-yourself version is an affordable alternative to rare and expensive originals.

Today the project is at home in almost any room of the house, and makes an especially nice bar. The top opens up to reveal a convenient storage and serving area, while the lower cabinet features two compartments perfect for

bottles and glassware.

The project requires about 40 board feet of oak, a halfsheet of oak plywood, dowels, nails, glue, stain and brass hardware.

As easy as it is inexpensive to build, step-by-step instructions, all straight cuts and basic construction techniques make the ice box simple enough for woodworkers of almost any skill level.

The finished ice box measures 38 inches high by 24 inches wide by 16 inches deep.

The Ice Box plan, No. 686, is $9.95 and includes com-
