A Few Tips For The Indoor Gardener
from:Deb St. George, Publisher, Indoor Gardening From SeniorHealthPortal.com
While all plants are quite apt to prosper indoors,
they do need more or less the same conditions to grow
as outdoor plants do. These conditions are a good
supply of fresh air, proper sunlight, water and
nutrients such as plant food commonly known as
‘fertilizer’.
We will include here a few tips that are sure to make
your indoor plants grow healthier and add beauty to
your surroundings.
Ever notice how plants will face the source of
sunlight? This is because the sun is the main source
of their nutrition. Plant leaves change water and
nutrition from the soil to food through a process
called ‘photosynthesis’.
A couple of hours of sunlight is a must for your
indoor plants. If you do not have a place where you
can have adequate sunlight, and cannot move the plants
you should consider purchasing a couple of indoor
gardening lights.
Ordinary lights will not do. Indoor gardening lights
provide enough of ultraviolet light to nourish the
plants.
Provide adequate water to your plants. Your indoor
plants need ‘room temperature’ water to survive. Do
not over water the plants, most plants die due to a
lack of water or a surplus of it than they do of any
other reason.
Follow a rule of thumb, like you test a cake you
should pierce a knitting needle into a plant
container. If the needle goes in with ease the soil is
just the right dampness, if not increase the quantity
of water a bit.
Fertilizers are also important, once a fortnight add a
scoop of indoor plant fertilizer to your plant pot.
Used tealeaves are also a very good supply of
nutrition to your plant.
Follow these simple tricks and you will see your
indoor garden prospering very soon.

The results of the latest analysis are not entirely reassuring. Sometime in the last few billion years, disaster struck one of Earth's nearest neighbours. Planetary geologists think there is good evidence that Venus was the victim of a runaway greenhouse effect which turned the planet into the boiling hell we see today.

The combination of a warmer winter here in Minnesota and a colder one across the Arctic has confused the issue of global warming. The warming proponents declare that the increase of greenhouse gases are the cause of such widespread temperatures. The skeptics, on the other hand, use the data to suggest the world is cooling instead of warming. For the rest of us, who are we to believe?

"It is clear that continuing to rely on fossil fuels will have catastrophic results, because of the dramatic warming effect of carbon dioxide. But alternative power sources will affect the climate too. For now, the climatic effects of "clean energy" sources are trivial compared with those that spew out greenhouse gases, but if we keep on using ever more power over the coming centuries, they will ...

As oceans warm due to climate change, water layers will mix less and affect the microbes and plankton that pump carbon out of the atmosphere – but researchers say it's still unclear whether these processes will further increase global warming or decrease it. It could be either, they say.
