Palms

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Canberra, I am looking for an indoor plant that looks good and is low maintenance.

It depends on your aspect – sunny / part shade / full shade and how much room you have.

For a part to full shade plant, how about a Philodendron like this: http://www.naturescolours.com.au/images/thumbs/Philodendron-Xanadu—Pot-size-17cm.jpg

Palms are always reliable indoor plants too, for sunny to part shade.

Medium size – dieffenbachia are lush looking http://www.google.com.au/search?q=dieffenbachia&hl=en&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&biw=1252&bih=546&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=dJDETtS6PKOyiQepkLGWDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CA8Q_AUoAQ and can tolerate shade.

Maranta or prayer plant is a smaller tropical plant with beautifully patterned leaves.

Keith, the list is almost endless as most indoor plants are originally tropical, so it really depends on what you like the look of. Happy shopping!

Hi. I’m 15 and have been running to stay in shape. I was wondering what kind of indoor activites are good to keep this up cuz it’s getting cold in Chicago! My family doesn’t really have any workout equipment. I’ll buy something if it’s not too expensive, but would like to know what I could I do for free!
Thanks!

Get a bicycle if you don’t already have one and one of those rear wheel stands, better than an exercise bike and you can always go out on it as well.

I have everbearing strawberry plants in an indoor grow tent. They are under a 400watt metal halide bulb and 2 high pressure sodium T5 bulbs. They seem to be taking a while to flower. I’m using organic bloom fertilizer…. any suggestions?

Try using Spray-N-Grow’s Bill’s Perfect Grow & Bloom

I am looking into opening an indoor skydiving facility and im having trouble figuring out where to start. I need all the equipment and everything.

Start by looking online for what equipment you’ll need. Then buy a place first. Put the big tube in. And the equipment on some hooks, don’t get all fancy at first or you won’t have enough money.

IvE had rct3 for about 3 months and I’ve always wondered how to make indoor coasters and I couldn’t figure it out how to. Pls help me thanks:)

Build a compact ride, and then build walls around it (use Shift to place pieces on top of each other) and then add a roof over the structure.

You can use custom scenery if you want walls to be pitch black, or more themed.

I need to come up with an outdoor or indoor activity to do with elementary school-aged children at an after school program, that will also be suitable for some children who have special needs. Any suggestions? I do prefer that it’s an outdoor activity, but if you have any good indoor activity suggestions, I welcome those too. Thanks!

Make me to know thy ways, O LORD;
teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me,
for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.
Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.

My family and I show and ride horses. I am looking to find a camera that will be good for moving pictures with a good zoom. 80% of the time, the arenas are indoor. So I have a problem with getting dark, grainy and blurry pictures. Does anyone know what Camera would be best for taking to shows?

Is there something wrong with regular cat food that’s bad for indoor cats? Why can’t it all be the same?

It’s a marketing ploy. Most high quality foods are all life stages (kitten thru senior) and for indoor or outdoor cats. By labeling a food with a specialized formulas they appeal to humans that want to do the best for their pets. But really the best thing you can do for your pet is read the ingredients. There should be no corn, wheat, or by-products. The first ingredient should be a named meat meal such as "chicken meal" unless it’s canned food, where you’ll see real meats such as "chicken liver." There should be 35% or more protein for dry and 9-11% ish for wet food.

We’ve just had a digital aerial fitted to our house (a student property) and the aerial connection is in the lounge area. Will an indoor aerial be able to pick up the signal or will it require a cable up to the separate room that we want the television in?

"We’ve just had a digital aerial fitted to our house…"

Oh dear, someone else who has been conned in the great digital aerial scam.

There is no such thing as a "digital" aerial – they do not exist (except in the minds of aerial salesman). All aerials work in the analogue domain.

In This video I show the various CFL Grow Lights that I have used the past few years and compare. They are all from local stores such as Menards and Home Depot. I mention the prices and light output for each. I also show hydroponic tomatoes that are a little over 2 weeks old. The largest bulb I show is the maximum length that the fixture can hnadle that I built in a previous video.

Buy your veggie seeds now guys. It’s cheap insurance. The stuff on the store shelves may not always be there.
