hey! so more news on plants

here's what all of you should know about plants already (but just in case you don't here is a little reminder):

1: all plants need at least some light to survive; however the amounts of light that different types of plants need vary. There are many ways that you can give the correct amount of water to your plants. you can place them in a bright window or in a well light room, or you can place them under a warm/heat lamp (but be careful if you place them to close they will burn and die)

2: All plants need water. but like any good thing it is possible to give a plant too much water (which will kill them), but don't forget that under watering them can be just as dangerous. I would advise that if you are growing plants water them once or twice a week. Be sure though that if your plants soil is supposed to be drying out in between watering that you actually do that (because some plants like it wet, and others like their soil dry)

3: Plant food. Like any living organism even plants need some form of food. Plants should be fertilized once or twice a month in order to keep them happy and healthy. After all who does not enjoy a good sized helping of our favorite food. Oh! That reminds me just like we have favorite foods so do some plants. For example though African Violets will grow even if you only use normal fertilizer but they grow their best, and grow the most beautifully when fed with African Violet food.

4: Plants also need fresh air. They use up our carbon dioxide and supply use with the oxygen that we need.

So grow a plant any plant and you will quickly come to see that having a plant that you grow and care for make you so much happier of a person.
