The Botanic Garden at OSU is no secret to most of the readers in this column. However, just in case you might be new to the area or simply haven’t been the garden yet, here are a few highlights of one of Payne County’s best features. In addition to being the home of the award winning OETA show Oklahoma Gardening, it’s also a unique public garden, being free and open to the public year around. While the Botanic Garden hosts a variety of landscape and garden-themed activities throughout the year, including Garden Fest and this office’s own Payne County Master Gardeners

The garden simply could not exist in its current form without the passion and commitment of this group of people.

Give your home a modern, fresh look with greenery By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service
Think of centerpieces or greenery, and perhaps cut flowers come to mind. But these days, those looking for a more organic look are instead opting for alternatives such as succulents, moss, grass and even branches. In many instances, these selections are not only modern and fresh, but also low maintenance as well. ARTIFICIAL VS. THE REAL THING Typically nothing beats freshly cut stems as far as look, appearance and fragrance go, but there those
come with maintenance needs. When it comes to succulents especially, it can be difficult to distinguish artificial stems from those that are real. If you are looking to incorporate artificial stems, one designer trick is to embed your artificial stems in real moss. While the color of the moss may slightly fade over time, your overall presentation will remain fresh and realistic. Here are some overall design recipes tips relating to incorporating organic elements into your home. DO: Mix succulents of different sizes, col-
ors and shapes into a single, large arrangement. Large round vessels or rectangular work well. Whether using artificial succulents or the real thing, line your vessel both on the bottom and along the sides for a realistic look. Use pieces of moss by them-
selves in small vessels or large moss-covered decorative elements in larger containers to display. Mix materials such as succulents or organic elements with sand or river stones. Use elements from nature such as branches and stones.
Consider using vessels of different sizes, shapes and heights to add interest. DON’T: Use real grasses in an arrangement unless you can water and maintain them. They will quickly turn brown and wilt without water. Use colored
moss. Bright colors tend to appear unrealistic and trendy. Green is suitable for a modern look. Forget to include all areas of the home when creating your arrangements. Kitchens, bathrooms and entries shouldn’t be overlooked. Forget that your
selection of a pot or vessel makes a decorative statement too. In general, vessels that are not transparent work best. Worry about mixing in a bit of color with your arrangements. Some choices may include cactus, blooms, gourds and even fruits.

Many landlords aren’t ‘high’ on new marijuana laws The growing number of states that are legalizing the use of marijuana is creating headaches for rental-property owners in many parts of the nation. DEAR MR. MYERS: I have owned and managed a small apartment building for several years, but now I have encountered a problem that I have never faced before. Our state permits the use of medical marijuana, but I have a longstanding “no drugs and no smoking” policy in place. If I continue to enforce this policy, would I be breaking the law? ANSWER: Few legal issues in the real estate industry are evolving as quickly – and are causing as much confusion – as the legalization of marijuana in a growing number of states. Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia already have approved the use of medical marijuana. Eight of those states and D.C. also currently allow, or will soon allow, recreational possession and use of the drug without a doctor’s prescription. Legalization poses some particularly thorny issues for apartment owners or their rental-property managers. After all, it’s one

At a seminar earlier this year, Megan Booth, a policy representative for the National Association of Realtors, said it’s illegal for a landlord in any of the 29 states that have legalized medical marijuana to deny a tenant the right to use pot on their properties - presuming, of course, that the tenant has the appropriate permit or similar paperwork for it. However, landlords generally do have the right to regulate how the marijuana can be consumed. For example, a lease in a nonsmoking building still may prohibit the tenant from “lighting up,” as long as the contract permits the use of

Based on what your letter suggests, your lender has every right to consider your previous payment past due and can slap you with a late fee because you didn’t pay it on time. You might be able to avoid the proposed $89 late fee by calling your lender’s customer-service department.

How to save succulents from rot in winter By Maureen Gilmer Tribune News Service
Are your succulents turning black? Are they gushy and soft when you touch them? The small accent color plants from warm dry climates slow down with the shortening of days into winter. They stop growing and therefore need no moisture besides what their bodies already hold. Yet water is continually applied, be it by rain or automatic sprinklers or a diligent overwater-er. This demonstrates why the small succulents rot out over winter, not necessarily from frost but lack of light and too much moisture. When moisture accumulation meets morning frost, there’s a perfect environment to
start rot. This is the enemy of all succulents. Their water-holding interior tissues are sterile, protected by a hard outer skin that prevents moisture loss. When this outer skin gets damaged by frost, or any other cause, fungus and bacteria set in. They need evenly moist conditions to proliferate before the wound dries out and heals over. Once you find rot on a succulent, be it a huge agave or a tiny lithops, you’re already at a disadvantage. The rotting organisms are already inside doing their worst to spread throughout the entire plant body. They won’t stop until the whole plant melts down into goo. There is a remedy, if you have a
strong hand and good eye. First observe the rot, which is usually a yellow or brown spot. It often begins at the soil line where too much moisture is in contact with the green skin of the plant, which is much like earthto-wood contact rotting wood posts. Rotting can also be stimulated by tiny skin breaks during transplanting, particularly if it’s a thin skinned species. Use a fingertip to lightly press the rot to see how soft it is. Sometimes sunburn looks like rot but is just skin discoloring. Softness is the clue. If rot is there, it will feel softer under gentle fingertip pressure than the surrounding unaffected skin. A little softness means
the rot is localized. By the time it’s so soft your finger goes right through the skin, it may be history. Succulents are resilient, so once you assess where the rot is by sight and feel, strategize how to surgically remove it. Just like cancer, you must remove all the rot, especially residual tentacles extending further into normal tissue. These inevitably contain pathogens that will resurface. It won’t be pretty after you’ve cleaned out the plant, but don’t give up. Succulents have truly amazing healing powers. Place the plant in the shade for a few days to help the skin callus into a new outer skin to hold the moisture. If you had to remove part or
all the roots, treat them the same before reinserting into media so root initials will develop quickly. If you can’t salvage the plant itself, consider segmenting the healthy tissue and rooting it in moist clean sand. Every encounter of ailing succulent plants is almost always a rot problem – they’re really trouble-free as a group. It can lurk in the center of an old Beaucarnea caudex only to surface after a rainy period. In dry desert climates rot rarely occurs in succulents except when associated with irrigation. The best way to protect your succulents from rot is to protect them from frost. When frost nips at the tips of your Euphorbia, it’s an injury that is
exacerbated into rot by rain at just the right time. Maybe it’s too high to notice until the whole top end discolors. So many homes feature large and very expensive specimen succulents that may be borderline tolerant of the climate. Keep Plankets or a bed sheet on hand for those cold snaps this winter. For narrow tall cactus such as fence post, slide a recycled
plastic foam coffee cup over the top to protect from tip burn. The regions where most of these plants come from are high UV in the winter, so overcast days put them into a funk, then rot sets in. Protect what you can and let the others go because they’re probably going to rot. Then come spring, you may be surprised at what survives.

10 modern home decorating ideas that’ll transform any traditional space By Gabrielle Savoie Domaine
ranged vertically in libraries, so by stacking them horizontally you can easily give any room an updated look. To get super modern, create multiple stacks of books with several inches of space in between them. For a more transitional aesthetic, try a mix of vertically and horizontally arranged books. BRIGHTEN UP One of the simplest ways to freshen up any home is to integrate bright colors. A rich canary yellow will feel decidedly modern, while a bright yet soft mint green can create a youthful and traditional look. A Klein blue will instantly give your space a bold, modern edge. Choose your own adventure. BE IN THE CLEAR
Be it a Lucite coffee table, a glass bar cart or an acrylic chandelier, a bit of transparency always lightens up the heaviness of dark woods and upholstered furniture you often see in traditional homes. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about matching as clear items blend right in! Add one piece for an instant contemporary touch. STICK WITH SOLID COLORS Fussy and intricate patterns can quickly take on a granny vibe, so if you want to modernize your space, sticking with solids is a safe way to do so. Use texture, mixed metals and finish-
es, and shapely furniture to add interest and keep the pattern to a minimum. GO GLOBAL European, American and Chinese furniture are common in traditional homes, so to infuse a little variety into the mix, seek out decor from Africa, South America, Southeast Asia or wherever life takes you. Vintage tiles or antique urns are a simple way to add a worldly flair to your space. LAYER SIMILAR ELEMENTS Displaying a series of art prints from the same collection is a staple in traditional decor, but when it’s a series of
identical graphic prints, it feels decidedly bold. Is there another classic pattern or art movement you love? Lay it on thick for a twist on tradition. CREATE AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT We expect to see a console table and a mirror at the foot of a staircase, but what about a pair of chairs? Not so much. Or how about a low bench displaying leaning artwork and a single greenery branch? One wouldn’t dare. Play around

with unusual arrangements and surprising juxtapositions until you create something that wows you. TRY A UNIQUE LAYOUT Floating a daybed in the middle of a petite room isn’t something one would naturally think of – unless you’re an interior designer – but it works, and it’s remarkably cozy. When it comes to your furniture layout, listen to your instinct, and then disregard it. You may love what unfolds.
Stillwater NewsPress • Friday, December 15, 2017
Two rules interior designers consistently remind us about decorating are to keep in mind your home’s original architecture and to try to stay true to your home’s roots. This doesn’t mean going fullblown Victorian with your furniture in a historic terrace home but rather to respect the original bones of the space, look for materials that were found in the era your home was created, and give a few nods to the time period in your decor. That said, you also don’t want your home to feel as though it belongs in another era, so keeping that balance between traditional and modern home decorating is an art that could always use some fine-tuning. Whether you’ve just moved into an Edwardian apartment in San Francisco or you’re trying to give your Colonial house in Connecticut a little more edge, there are countless ways to modernize a tra-
ditional home. Of course, you could go ahead and browse contemporary shops to see what catches your eye, but if you need a little more direction, we have a few modern home decorating tricks for you below. Ready to give your home a modern flair? Just try a few of these easy updates. HANG CONTEMPORARY ART There are few things we love more than contemporary art juxtaposed with the thoughtful architectural detail of a traditional home. Seek out artwork with colors that complement your existing furnishings, and you’ve got a foolproof combination. STACK YOUR BOOKS Historically, books have always been ar-
