Trump also briefly shook markets shortly before Wall Street opened for trading Friday, when he accused China of not living up to its end of the agreement that paused their tariffs against each other.
A lack of natural sunlight needn’t stop you. Plants that grow in the shade of large trees in the wild and other low-light plants are well-suited for darker bath or powder rooms. Consider Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema), English ivy (Hedera helix), snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), philodendron, lucky bamboo, ferns, ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), peace lily (Spathiphyllum) or the amenable spider plant.It’s best to avoid placing cacti and succulents, fruiting plants and any that are native to deserts or have low water needs in a humid environment.
In general, seek out tropical plants with sunlight requirements that match your bathroom’s conditions.Adding even one plant to your bath or powder room willand provide the spa-like vibe you deserve.

NEW YORK (AP) — What does “home” mean? Different things to all of us, of course.It’s not clear just how big a role the farm plays in attracting buyers. At Agritopia, for example, few of the 500 homes participate in the farm box program that offers them first pick of seasonal fruits and vegetables. (The farm also sells at a market in downtown Gilbert and donates to a local food pantry.)

Johnston said he knew “not everyone’s going to be passionate about agriculture.” That’s why he was intent on creating a village where people have spaces to come together; it’s up to them how much, if at all, they want to be involved in farming.Still, farms are a selling point for developers especially across the Sun Belt who compete to offer pools, gyms, parks and other perks to would-be residents who have a wide range of planned communities to choose from, said Scott Snodgrass. He’s founding partner of a developer that created Indigo, an agrihood outside Houston, and also of a company called Agmenity that runs farms for agrihood developers.
