our house is back to woods and there is a creek down below in the woods. This year the mosquitoes is worse than ever. We can’t even step outside in the yard anymore.

I’ve tried sprays. It doesn’t help much.

I heard that there are some plants that can repel mosquitoes. What are they? Do they really work? How to plant them?

I’m open to any suggestions that can help control the mosquitoes.

Thank you very much.

I need to know if the plants have vibration… just anything to do with plants and vibration.

I’m an 18 year old college freshman and I was thinking of getting a small plant for my room. When I say small I am kind of thinking a foot or under in height. I want it to be easy to care for. I was looking at bonsai plants because they look cool. But I hear that they are hard to care for and should be kept outside. I was also thinking about a lucky bamboo plant. What is your recommendation?

I’m doing a project on organic pesticides and would like a little more information on why certain plants repel insects and what these plants are.

Thanks!

When plants absorb carbon dioxide, they lose water (transpiration). At a given level of water content in the air, the air is saturated below a particular temperature (dew point). So, if a plant’s stomata are open and it is absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, does it lose any water to the air, when the temperature is below the dew point?

Lot of plants have fragrance in their flawers, leaves, stems, barks, roots etc. how these plants are able to produce these volatile chemicals and I wonder what aids them in producing the fragrance they have?

I have a north facing bed against the house, which is shaded. We live in North Wales, UK. Would like to plant it up with plants that will pretty much take care of themselves and will spread.

They would need to be hardy to zone 6 (lower NY State). I am trying to achieve a backdrop of plants that do not shed their leaves in the winter so they can block the foundation, which happens to show 3 feet of itself. In front of these plants, I have some perenialls in mind. FYI, the planting beds are 8-10′ deep and in part to full shade. I can’t think of any other information, except that my house is red and I love interesting leaves and azaleas. Thank you so much for helping.

I’ve got a small unfiltered tank, would plants provide enough oxygen for a small number of fry in there or would plants make it worse by using up the oxygen at night?

Hi, I have a miniature rose bush that I keep indoors year round. The roses are normally a coral color. Recently I changed all of my light bulbs to the compact florescent light bulbs and one of my rose plants (that is kept next to my lamp) has bloomed a pale pink flower and the new green foliage is lighter than the older foliage. I am curious to know whats going on and If it is the light bulbs creating the changes in color. The plant seems to be doing better then it ever has.

I live in Pennsylvania and have a house on a corner lot, so there’s some sun in the morning but not a lot later in the day because there’s not many windows on the back of the house. I would like to get a few plants that don’t need a lot of light. I have a fern and a spider plant, which seem to do well enough, but I’d like to find a few more. They need to be smaller (not a fig tree for example) and I’d prefer not to hang them from the ceiling. if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’ve got these plants on the patio where the cats have access. I’ve looked at several websites of lists of poisonous plants; just looking to see if anyone else has any input. I also have a rose geranium plant, is it safe to assume this one is poisonous (regular geranium is poisonous)? Wanna keep my plants and my cats safe, Thanks.

I just bought a new home and it needs a lot of landscaping/yard renovations. So I will be basically starting with nothing. What kind of plants would be good to plant that would look good all year round? I live Ohio and the front of the house gets a lot of sun! Please Help!

My wife and I have just bought our first home and are planning on creating a tropical feel in our backyard. We live in Queensland, Australia.
We are completely new to gardening, but have worked out what plants we want to put in – we just don’t know how far apart we should be spacing them from each other!
We are looking to plant the following: golden cane palms (along our fenceline to act as a screen from a two-storey house that overlooks our yard from one rear corner); cordyline rubra (underneath the palms, but between each and maybe slightly behind them); birds of paradise (the type that grows to about 1.5m – in front of the cordyline, between the palms); bromeliads (various varieties – at the front).
Any advice on how far apart these should be planted would be much appreciated.
I’m thinking of putting the golden cane palms about 1.5m apart along the fenceline, so that the leaves will overlap slightly and create the screen – would this be about right? This is the most important.
My aim here is to have a fairly dense look (for that tropical feel) without having each of the plants fighting each other for water so much that they die – we are in the middle of huge drought here in SE Qld and on extreme water restrictions!
Our garden bed is an L shape about 1m wide, extending 10m along our back fence and about 5m down the side fence.

Can someone explain what a perennial herb is….

and some examples of some!

THANKS!

If a person was sealed in an air tight room with plants, these plants have enough sunlight (lamp light) and water to thrive of course. How many plants would be needed to keep one person breathing perpetually? What is the most efficient plant available for this scenario?

Hello. I was planning on moving my glowlight danios (danio choprai) into a 20 gallon long tank. I was wondering what plants would work the best in this size tank. Its not a very tall tank, so should I avoid stem plants? Any suggestions? Also is a HOB filter rated for 60 gallons going to be a problem for a tank this size? Will it create too much surface agitation for a CO2 system?

I have sims 2 apartment life, and I recently bought sims 2 pets. I couldn’t figure out why the dog wouldn’t pee, despite being outside and really needing to go. Then I read that you have to have plants for them to pee on, and sometimes they’re picky about which plants. But in apartments, you’re not allowed to plant flowers or trees, because it says "Location out of bounds." How can I make plants, so that the dog can pee?

I was trying to give my plants a little more light since the there is less daylight this time of year (where i live it is winter) and i was wondering if plants can get energy from fluorescent light bulbs?

Grown in soil. By someone with good knowledge about growing? With 400watt lights. I am just wondering an average like would it take 1 plant or 120 plants to make one pound?

Ok so I got this Statement about ‘Plants being a bridge between the living and non living world’ and I had to write what I think it means, but I am so clueless. Does anyone have any ideas? Anything would be helpful! =]

what plant takes around two months to fully grow?
