How do animals use cactus plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Garden tools are used to move cactus plants, because of their ferociously intimidating modified leaves. Gloves are used to handle cactus plants carefully. Moisture meters are used to gauge the amount of soil moisture. Protective eyewear such as sunglasses, and protective clothing are used to check the cactus over. Systemic fungicides are used now instead of copper sulfate to break the cycle of cactus decline from fungal attacks.

The best plants to grow for profit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Purple tomatoes before crop mastery, straspberries after mastery.

After you master the greenhouse crops, you can buy them directly from the market, and they cost 10 coins less per seed. These savings compound over time (if you harvest each crop immediately when they're ready, and immediately replant), overall resulting in straspberries being more profitable, if you don't mind playing every 2 hours every day.

Barring that, I'd say purple tomatoes, since nobody wants to play every 2 hours every day.

From which country does the traditional method of 'bonsai'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Originally, it is said that bonsai came from China 2000 years ago but some argue it was the same time in Japan. I would go with China.

The direct translation of "Bonsai" The art of growing a tree in a pot. Bonsai utilizes different training techniques to achieve desired styles. Typically bonsai trees are small compared to the tree it would represent in the wild, they usually rang from 6″-24″. The art of Bonsai dates back 2000 yrs to the Ming dynasty. Origins probably date back even further as the Japanese word Bonsai comes from the Chinese word "P'en Tsai" which sounds similar to bonsai and has basically the same definition. To restrict our interpretation of the word to a potted tree does not do it justice. This is an ancient art that dates back thousands of yeas. One could study bonsai his whole life ad develop his style and art and it would be ever evolving and there would always be new facets to improve upon. The real essence of Bonsai is found in the Japaneses word's for art, there are three types of art in the Japanese language.

I'd suggest bringing your coleus plant inside during the winter if you haven't already. Coleus plants need little sunlight, which, during the winter is great, but also need temperatures of about 55 degrees and up to thrive.

What is the size of a cactus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The size of a cactus depends upon the type. For example, some cactus plants are naturally taller, such as the 40 foot/12 meter giant saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] and the 50 foot/15 meter old man cactus [Cephalocereus senilis]. And some cactus plants are naturally smaller, such as the 2 inch/5 centimeter living rock or fossil cactus [Ariocarpus fissuratus] and sea urchin or silver dollar cactus [Astrophytum asterias].

The size also depends upon environmental conditions. For example, cactus plants may not do as well outside their native habitat despite vigilant care. The normally towering old man cactus in the wild tends to grow no taller than 3 feet/90 centimeters in cultivation.

How do you care for your moss terrarium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I make moss terrariums and they are so easy to care for. Water Requirements: I just water them 1-2 times per month making sure the moss roots are not sitting in water. If the jar becomes too cloudy then cut back on watering. The moss should always feel damp to the touch but never soggy. Light Requirements: Make sure your terrarium get indirect light. Never sit it in direct sun. Usually any office is great! Greenbriar www.greenbriar.etsy.com

Italian heather is one of the more hardy versions of plant. It is a hybrid of Erica carnea and E. Erigena, typically flourishing best in moist outdoor conditions with full sun.

Can a cactus be cut down in size without being harmed?

User Avatar

They will develop a protective layer on the plant's cut and can then be transported to wherever, placed in the ground, and it will grow again. I dont know how true this is but it was from a college Botany Professor. Answer Your Botany Professor was not wrong but the plant was harmed.

What effect does vitamin C have on plant growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well yes, a vitamin can help a plant grow. For an explanation go to: please look at the related link below.

AnswerThe experiment referred to above uses a mere four potted plants - two having been given no vitamins, the other two each given a separate mix of vitamins. Neither the vitamin blends nor the amounts given were stated. I realize that this experiment was carried out by children (ages unknown, but definitely children), but I must be critical and simply conclude that the two variables - plants given vitamins versus plants not given vitamins - were not properly controlled.

Plants naturally produce the vitamins necessary for their survival; they do not, however, do the same in regards to minerals. This is the reason that in areas where the soil has become depleted of it's mineral content (which is, unfortunately, the case when land is over-farmed, e.g. "factory farms") synthetic, petroleum-based mineral fertilizer is used.
