What is 'poinsettia' in French?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Flor de Nochebuena" is what Mexicans call poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).

Specifically, the feminine noun "flor" means "flower." The preposition "de" means "of." The feminine noun "Nochebuena" means "Christmas Eve." The pronunciation is "FLOHR theh NO-tcheh-BWEH-nah."

The Mexican name reflects the plant's beautiful December bloom time and the consequent appropriateness as a choice plant for the Christmas holidays.

How can you prevent wild iguanas from eating the portulaca in your yard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ive had this problem twice in recent years and have found two very different but equally effective methods of solving this frustrating problem. The first time i waited near the portulaca with my shotgun, and thus shot any iguanas that came near. you have to make sure to leave the dead iguanas to rot so as to warn other iguanas of the treatment they will get if they attempt to eat your portulaca. This proved highly effective, although did attract predatory animals and create a pungent aroma to the yard. This prompted me to use my second effective method when the iguanas eventualy returned. I set fire to my portulaca, making sure every bit was destroyed. This worked amazingly, and i now never have to worry about the iguanas eating my portulaca... I hope this helps and you manage to stop the iguanas eating your portulaca, i know how frustrating it can be!

How often do you water flower's from a seed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About every day, but you don't want them to get too wet. You don't want them to dry out too much for too long. The planter should be in the sun or have a light on it. I use a planter with a clear plastic dome. It doesn't dry out as much, and I water them every other day or as needed. I didn't put a light over it the first time, and they didn't do too well.

Do you need ericaceous compost for Magnolia Stellata?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Magnolia Stellata needs ericaceous compost, but at the same time, no, it does not. The flowering plant in question prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH level even though proper drainage and lighting let it survive in a variety of soils, including heavy clay. It therefore will have need of the acidic-loving, lime-hating compost in less desirable environments (where an ericaceous compost fertilizer helps), such as slightly alkaline (sweet) soils.

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.
