Plants are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. They include familiar organisms such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. About 350,000 species of plants, defined as seed plants, bryophytes, ferns and fern allies, are estimated to exist currently. As of 2004, some 287,655 species had been identified, of which 258,650 are flowering and 18,000 bryophytes (see table below). Green plants, sometimes called metaphytes or viridiplantae, obtain most of their energy from sunlight via a process called photosynthesis.

What are some fast growing plants for an aquarium?
Q. I am currently on the hunt for some good plants for a 10 gallon tank. I am trying to convert my 10 gallon tank from fake plants to live planted tank. Do you guys know any fast growing plants that I can substitute for my fake plants? I currently have 1 Amazon Sword Plant and 1 Cabomba Plant

A. Ugh... You wanted plants, right? Not infestations! Don't get the Watersprite, if you let it go too long without trimming, you will never see your fish. Also, because it is a floating plant, it has a tendency to attract a lot of algae, which as we all know, is not generally "pretty". Most Cryptocorynes are fairly fast growers that are undemanding of nutrients and lighting. Also, Java Moss and Java Fern are extremely hardy plants that can flourish in any tank. Look into Pygmy Chain Sword, Dwarf Sag, Microsword, certain Crypts, Dwarf Hairgrass, Onion Plant, and most Vallisnera (Jungle Val, Italian Val, etc.) will make nice carpet plants. You don't want too many plants unless you have CO2 and fertilizers (fish can't provide plants with… [cont.]

My plant soil has little flys in it. I just got it to replant my plants. How can i get rid of the flys?
Q. The same thing happened last year when I bought new soil. I kept spraying the soil and the plants with soapy water, but some of my plants couldn't stand the solution too well. what plant friendly remedy can I use to eliminate this annoying problem? Thank you SOOO much!

A. It sounds like you have fungus gnats. In houseplants, usually this is caused by overwatering. Depending on the type of plant, you might need to let it dry out inbetween waterings. To deal with the problem, go to a local garden centre and buy sticky traps to stick in the pot. This will catch the adults. To get the eggs, take a pencil and use it to take out the soil just around the rim of the pot around the top. That's where they like to lay their eggs. After you do this, stick the sticky trap in. Then, let the plant dry out before you water it again. Check google for the plant's watering needs. Never use soil from your garden to repot, always get sterile soil from a garden centre. Make sure you are getting the right type of soil. Good… [cont.]

Can a landlord limit the number of potted plants you have in a common yard?
Q. Or if we planted them in the ground, can he prohibit that? There is lots of areas of just dirt and dead plants, and can I legally plant in that? My mom's new landlord just told her she can't have any potted plants outside her back door. Or anywhere in the yard.

A. If it doesn't clearly state it in your lease, then you should be good to plant. You are actually bringing up the value of a house by planting. BUT if your landlord does not approve, & tells you you can't plant too many things, or none at all, it is his place. You would have to abide by his rules. Why not just put in a call to let him know what you would like to do. Maybe he won't even care at all what you do in the yard!
