A prime need is for fresh air and sunshine, which can best be supplied in the open... more Care of lawns in shaded areas - If the lawn-to-be will receive at least two hours of direct sunlight or its equivalent in dappled sunshine (very light shade with sun filtering in through for most of the day) ordinary grass mixtures intended for sunny places are satisfactory, but in plac... more Bonsai Propagation - Bonsai may be created from any woody or semi-woody plant, and there are several ways to obtain good material. Plants may be propagated from seed or cuttings, by layering or any other technique, or they can be found already grown in nurseries or naturally.... more Repotting Houseplants - Frequent repotting of house plants is unnecessary, and generally plants placed in containers 5 in. or larger in diameter can stay in the same pots for 12 to 18 months. Most kinds will thrive in pots that appear too small for them, and many that have fille... more Prevailing Winds And Planting - With many trees, you will notice that there are longer roots on one side that the other and these provide the tree with greater anchorage against the prevailing wind. If planting a tree in a position where it will receive strong wind from say the west, or... more Will lime break up clayey soil? - Although many soils benefit by the application of lime, lime will not alter the structure of the soil to any extent.

In cultivation, cacti do enjoy a fair amount of water during the growing season. Begin w... more Fungi - Fungus Diseases - Parasitic fungi are mostly microscopic. They invade higher plants and grow in their tissues (cells), which they kill and then absorb the contents for food. They penetrate and grow in the plant cells by means of fine fungal threads (hyphae), and spread f... more |
