Flame On!
The following are some facts about care for flamings katy:
Flames Katies are not harmful to humans. They do not cause any harm to plants or animals. However, they may damage your house if left unattended. If you have children under the age of 5 years old, it would be best to keep them away from these plants as well as other plants with flame colors such as blue, purple and green.
Flames Katies grow very fast. You will need to water them regularly. A regular watering schedule is recommended so that the plants don’t become overgrown and die.
Flames Katies are drought tolerant, but do require frequent watering to prevent them from becoming too dry. They can survive without water for several months at a time, however they won’t produce flowers or fruit until they receive enough moisture again.
Flames Katies are susceptible to pests and diseases. Insects like aphids, scale insects, mealy bugs and whiteflies can all attack them. Aphid infestations can be controlled by applying insecticidal soap to the soil around the plants. When a leaf begins turning yellow or brown, spray it with a solution of 1 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent per gallon of water.
Make sure to get the undersides of the leaves, and those hanging down. Continue applying the solution every 3 to 5 days for 2 weeks after all the aphids appear to be gone in order to completely eliminate any that may have been hiding or hatched later.
Flames Katies should occasionally be pruned to keep them under control. When pruning, cut the plant back to within a couple of inches of the ground. Clean up the area of any dead leaves and dispose of them so they don’t spread any pests you may have missed.
Flames Katies are one of the most popular indoor plants. They are easy to grow if you follow a few simple steps. The best thing is that their flowers produce a sweet smell which makes the whole room smell nice.
Indoor plants not only improve the ambiance of your home, but also improve air quality and add life to your home or office. There are hundreds of different kinds of plants to choose from, depending on your lighting and space. To help you narrow down your choices, here are the top ten best indoor plants for your home or office.
Flaming katies are bright red and grow well both outdoors and indoors. They can be planted in the spring or fall. When planting them, make sure that the plants are at least fifteen feet apart. They prefer well-drained soil with a lot of organic matter.
When planting these types of plants in your lawn, make sure that you don’t over-fertilize the soil with nitrogen as this causes the grass to grow very fast. This in turn causes flaming katies to not get enough nutrients to survive.
To maintain your plant, cut back on watering in the wintertime and only water when the soil is dry. Fertilize during the spring and summer with a good quality fertilizer.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera plants are common houseplants that are very easy to care for. These succulent plants only need to be watered about once a month and are great for people who forget to water their plants! Some Aloe Vera plants also produce flowers, which produce a bitter smell. These plants thrive with dry soil and direct sunlight, so it’s recommended to only water them when the soil is dry (about once every two weeks).
To get the maximum amount of flowers, provide your plant with at least four hours of direct sunlight each day.
These plants are pretty easy to maintain and can grow up to three feet in height, although they typically stay smaller. These plants are also pest-free! Some people even use the gel from the Aloe Vera leaves to treat sunburns.
Pothos may be one of the easiest houseplants to take care of. This plant can grow up to three feet and does not require much light or water. Pothos plants typically grow vine-like roots that can easily be clipped and placed in a new planter. The plant has distinctive yellow, green, purple, and white leaves.
This plant can also be tied to a trellis to create a curtain-like effect.
This plant is very versatile and can grow in any type of lighting. They typically grow well in most areas of a home but prefer shadier areas. These plants do not need much water and should only be watered about once every week or two. It’s recommended to water the plant until water comes out of the drainage holes.
A good fertilizer can also be added to the water every few months.
Bamboo is a green grass that grows very quickly and can reach up to ninety feet tall. Even though it grows extremely quickly, bamboo only flowers every few decades. This plant prefers shaded areas and can be placed indoors or outdoors. These plants are also pest-free and require occasional pruning.
A good rule of thumb is to prune the outer third of the plants leaves every few months.
Ferns are typically very easy to grow and only need to be watered about once a week. They also prefer shady areas and should only be placed in a area that receives indirect sunlight. These plants can grow up to three feet and have three different types of leaves: fronds (large leaves), fry (small leaves), and fiddleheads (soft, curled, and young looking).
The snake plant is a very common houseplant that is very easy to take care of. It only needs to be watered about once every week or two and only receives partial sun. This plant can grow up to three feet in height and has distinctive green leaves with yellow stripes. These plants thrive in dry soil and shouldn’t be overwatered.
These plants are usually grown from bulbs instead of seeds and produce a flower after six to ten years. They require partial sun and should only be watered when the top layer of soil is dry (about once a week).
The easiest way to water your plants is with a self-watering planter, also known as a “Watering Pillow”. These pillows absorb water and only release water after the soil is dry, which can save you time and money when taking care of your plants. You simply place the pillow in the bottom of your pot and it will automatically release water into the soil as it needs it. These pillows can last for up to three months and can be found at your local hardware store or online.
Just like people, plants need water to survive. Most plants prefer “even” soil that is neither too sandy or to clay-like. A good rule of thumb is to take a handful of soil and squeeze it into a ball. If the ball falls apart then the soil is probably too clay-like and needs more organic matter.
If the soil doesn’t hold its shape then it is too sandy and needs more clay. A good mix is about 50% sand, 40% dirt, and 10% organic matter (manure, old newspaper, etc).
The nutrients that plants take up from the soil are released when the plant decays, so if you plan on harvesting your crop the plants will need to be replaced or else the nutrients will be absorbed by other weeds. If you are growing your plants to harvest then you will want “abortion soil” which is free of weeds and has low levels of nutrients. If you plan on replanting your crop then normal soil will do.
There are many different types of nutrients that can be used but it’s important to find one that works for you. Experiment with different kinds and find what you like best!
For hydroponics, there are many types of nutrients that can be used. There are two main types, organic and synthetic. Organic nutrients are extracted from animal manures and various plant matter while synthetic nutrients are created in a laboratory. Each type has their own advantages and disadvantages but most growers will have their own preferences.
The list below contains many nutrients and the general range that they should be at for proper growing. These are just guidelines and will need to be adjusted for each grow.
Nitrogen (N) Nitrogen is important for leaf growth and is part of the proteins that strengthen plant cells. Nitrogen is also instrumental in the production of chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Nitrogen is not water-soluble, so it is important to have a good amount of organic matter in the soil for efficient absorption. Nitrogen is absorbed the fastest by the plant in the sequence N-7, N-9, and then N-15 as they read from the left.
Phosphorus (P) The second row of the periodic table is important for cellular division and growth. This means that it is important for producing large yields and healthy plants. It also plays a role in the production of chlorophyll, just as nitrogen does.
Potassium (K) Together with nitrogen and phosphorus, potassium is responsible for major growth. All three are water-soluble and are absorbed from the soil very easily by the plant’s roots. In fact, they are absorbed with such ease that it is necessary to place them in the correct proportions. If there is too much nitrogen, too little potassium or phosphorus, or too much magnesium or calcium, then large-scale problems can occur.
Calcium (CA) Calcium is important in the cell walls and the walls of the plant’s tubercles. It comes in especially handy when the plant is flowering because it strengthens the cell walls so that the plant doesn’t fall apart under its own weight.
COOHP: I’ve been out of commission for awhile, but there are a few changes that I am already noticing. As you know, our city has always had a bit of a problem with Channel 4 News. I am not talking about the quality of the news, as I can’t judge that and they seem to be a very tight-knit group, but rather the fact that they are always getting scooped on various stories. The first time this happened, I thought it might have been an accident, but now it is happening way too often for it to be a coincidence.
I think someone in their newsroom is selling them out and I know who that someone is.
That someone is Mike O’Malley, a person that has been working for the city for as long as I can remember and someone that we have been trying to get rid of for just as long. His position seems to be rather important to the station, not that I can see why. He is a lazy, no-good slob that spends more time staring at himself in the mirror than doing his job. I don’t know why Channel 4 keeps him on and even gives him a prominent position, considering that he isn’t very good at what he does.
Naturally, getting rid of someone like that wouldn’t be easy; especially since he has somehow managed to keep his job despite his numerous screw-ups. One time he was even caught sleeping with a janitor from another building. The woman was fired on the spot, but he kept his job.
In any case, if he is such a screw-up and we want him gone, why hasn’t anything been done about it?
Well, that’s where you come in. I need you to do something that will finally get him fired for good. He has a habit of taking pictures and collecting information on various stories, so I want you to steal some of his pictures. Of course, they will be planted pictures; ones that will seem damning enough to get him fired.
I just need you to steal some photographs and then we can finally be done with this problem employee. I am sending a messenger to pick up the photographs from you. He will have a fake ID so let him in. You will be receiving a package from him later today that contains the photographs and more instructions on what to do with them.
Good luck.
Mr. Salvatore

It has been brought to my attention that there is a rat in the ranks. I don’t know who it is yet, but they need to be dealt with before they can do any serious damage. After I find out who it is, they will be executed along with their entire family.
I have enough problems with these street gangs that are forming in the slums. Everytime I think I have one of them wiped out, two more take their place. If things keep going like this, I’m going to have to do something about it before it gets out of hand.
The Ebony Claw Syndicate is a problem, but not one that can’t be handled. They may be united in their goal to take over the underworld, but when you break it down, they’re still only a gang of street thugs. If I have to I will wipe every last one of them off the face of the Earth.
I’m starting to regret not sending hitmen after Jake, but perhaps it is better this way. The manhunt would’ve stopped and more people would’ve been focused on finding him rather than expanding. While I still have a handful of enemies, my power continues to grow stronger every day.
Still, I need to find that rat.
Eric Herald – Reporter
I got back to the office and I couldn’t wait to tell Henry about what just happened! When I arrived he was on the phone so I just waited at his desk and watched him talk. I love watching him when he doesn’t know he’s being watched; I can see his true self without the façade he shows everyone else. To anyone else, he seems like a very serious man that doesn’t tolerate any nonsense, but when he thinks no one is looking, he displays a more human side to him.
He smiles and even laughs at times.
Once he got off the phone, I told him everything that happened with Jacob and even how I was saved by Mr. Reynolds. He didn’t seem surprised at all by what happened with Jacob, but he did seem a bit impressed on how I handled Mr. Reynolds.
“I told you that you could do it,” he said confidently.
“
Can we trust him?”
I asked with uncertainty.
“If we play this right, he can be very beneficial to us.”
“
How so?
I mean he didn’t offer to help us until I told him we were investigating Jake’s disappearance.”
“That’s because he likes to keep informed on what’s going on in the community, but in time he will reveal his true intentions to us. Now, get back to work and I’ll be in contact with you tomorrow with more details on our plan. Oh and don’t tell anyone about what happened with Jake, I don’t want the rest of the staff getting suspicious of him. Not to mention we don’t want to cause a panic.
We’ll let the police worry about him. They’re very good at that, after all.
I wanted to protest, but I knew it wouldn’t do any good so I just did what he said and went back to work. The rest of the day was uneventful after Mr. Reynolds left; most of the folks that come in are just looking for a new place to get drunk so I didn’t have much else to do today. When closing time came, Henry told me to stay a little late to close up the office while he went home.
I didn’t complain since it’s not like I had anything better to do anyway.
Once everyone was gone, I sat at Henry’s desk and started going through his drawers. Maybe I was being a little unfair since he did trust me, but I am a reporter and it is my job to dig up the truth. I’m sure if any other reporter were in my position, they would do the same thing.
The first drawer I inspected was the one containing all his personal stuff: pictures of his wife and kids, a photo of him in a military uniform, etc. I felt a little weird looking at them, but I kept searching. In another drawer I found a stack of old notes and documents, most of which seemed pretty boring.
