This segment will analyze the idea
of “Baby Talk”. This is in regards to the cute fun way parents and other family
members basically dummy down their speech when speaking to a child. Don’t get
me wrong I realize that baby talk is Fun and usually puts a smile on the face
of the one expressing it. But THAT is ALL it does. In fact it is my belief that
baby talking to your young child can actually cause more harm than good. This
writing will go over the value in not just being honest with your children and
family but looking at every conversation as a learning opportunity for you and
your child and or family.
At birth your child is a fleshy
version of Johnny 5 from short circuit. By that I mean all they want is INPUT.
Like little computers fresh out of the box they are full of capabilities. But
like that same computer fresh out of the box they require the Software
(Knowledge) do be able to utilize those capabilities. You wouldn’t
intentionally load defective or in any way Broken or incorrect software would
you? The same should be said for the programming (Teaching, raising) your
child. You might be thinking oh well it’s just all in fun, my cute awesome
little child sounds so cute the way he or she says that word. When smiling and
laughing is the result we sometimes forget that he or she is “Learning” so when
she or he says that word in that incorrect,, funny, or cute way, it’s a little
deeper than you realize. You see that little computer is doing a lot more than
just saying a funny sounding word. The child is first of attempting to
communicate, a very important corner stone to human education. The child is
trying to convey a thought or idea. Even though when we baby talk we are
intending to make a smile. In some ways parents often feel that by baby talking
we are accommodating the fact that they are learning. But the child is trying
also to improve their ability to communicate. From the perspective of the child
your response solidifies whether or not they have succeeded. You see when they
say a word incorrectly they then look to the parent or other adult for
acceptance and approval. And when you respond with an excited smile,
phonetically. Repeating the dummy downed word they feel that is a success. Don’t
take this the wrong way, we are not talking about discouraging the child, when
you acknowledge that you understand the Idea, thought, or question the child is
trying to convey with that same excited smile you say the word correctly, the
child is just as happy. Now you have acknowledged what the child was correct
about in the statement and also taught the child the Correct way. No this
little computer full of excitement has successfully communicated; the child has
learned a little more which is appreciated making the child happier. As you
grow with your child this will build a bond of trust as well. The subconscious retains
a lot of info, and instead of spending years teaching your child something that
you will expect them KNOW is wrong only a couple years later can undermine
trust. However being straight and realizing that your child is ALWAYS learning
will remove that question and solidify that mom or dad can be trusted. This
touches on the little white lies, something that will be covered in depth
later. All the benefits to Not “Baby Talking” to your child are all equally
important, for me this next benefit was the reason I wouldn’t baby talk. This
was the reason I explained to my family not to baby talk my children. As was
stated before our children are like little computers. Searching all day for
input. Now early in life there is much we do not understand, we are learning. From
birth we are learning, we learn facts, ideas, Processes, and everything else in
our lives. When I child asks a question for instance “why does it get Dark at
night” there are many different ways a parent might answer this question. I
would answer it starting out with, “well the world we live in is actually a
Ball, and like our world the sun is a ball. Our world is spinning so half the
time the light from the sun shines on half of the ball while the other half
remains in darkness, so right now do you think our part of the world is facing
the sun or facing away from it? That may seem like an extreme example but it’s
not. Even if the child is too young to understand you have filled its mind with
facts that are now there and ready as the child’s brain acquires even more
input as life goes on. You have also just intrigued the child, we have no idea
what wonderful or weird ideas the child had previous to asking this question
but now the child’s mind is filled with more wonders to consider and learn. It
was my experience doing this with my children that in most cases doing this as
the example above would start a discussion that would last from 2 minutes to
several hours. These resulting discussions you have the child’s intrigue and
complete attention, and again even if they can’t understand it all their minds
are absorbing the facts and information and the brain can retrieve and compare
this information at a later date. I argued this with my family when my children
were toddlers; however it wasn’t long until they got older and consistently amazed
their teachers and people around them as the stock piles of years’ worth of
information come pouring out increasing the problem solving capabilities. I’m
still amazed as my children become teenagers when I can see this take place.
This also takes us back to one of the earlier benefits, Trust. Both consciously and subconsciously the brain
associates the early information learned from you is still correct later in
life. But every time the brain has to overwrite your basically have to change
it makes a note that information was unreliable. Let’s compound that figure all
the childish answers and Baby talk statements made in a day times 365 days
times several years, there will be a LOT incorrect information that needs to be
changed. That takes up effort and time, where as if the correct response were
given in the first place instead of correcting wrong ideas the child would be
standing Proud on a foundation of trust with a bank of information confident
that it is correct. The ladder situation is the starting point for problem
solving whereas the baby talk is a great starting point for confusion. Yes it
really means that much when your child reaches out or speaks to you they are
engaging you to learn about this world it is actually quite rude when you think
about it to give back a childish response. The child isn’t smiling because of
the Baby Talk, they are smiling because you are, they are smiling because you’re
engaging them and they love you, they are smiling because they are too young to
realize that you’re not taking them seriously and are misleading them to believing
they have accomplished something they haven’t.
The idea here is not to know
everything but share the real knowledge you have. Answer the questions they ask
as completely and thoroughly as possible. You never know what statement you
make that will spark their imagination so send them all you can. Saying words
the cute way actually delays their learning. They want to sound like you, show
them how. Pronounce the words correctly and be proud when your child astounds
you to how quickly the ability to communicate grows not just the child but the
whole family.
There
are always questions we don’t for one reason or another we don’t want to
answer. Do Not Lie to your family. Again this is one of those things people
believe can’t be avoided. But it can and it is easy once you realize TWO
things. One Love and Trust go hand in hand, don’t lie to those you love. And Two
you don’t have to answer every question, by that I mean it is completely ok to
say “I don’t feel you would understand so I’m not going to answer that right
now.” Or “ There are times and places for everything and we will go over this
at another time” or “ Honey some things you have to wait until you’re a little
older, I’m proud of you and yes you are very smart now, but something can only
be understood with experience. I have done this and Believe it or not it
quickly becomes accepted. By accepted I mean the children learn that, that is
the end of that question for now, and it builds trust. You are teaching the
child One, that you are honest and will refuse a response before deceiving the
child, (Which shows the child that you value your word, and that you respect
them and their ideas. Two it teaches them to be honest even when it may seem
difficult, and children learn by imitating those in the surrounding area they
look up to. Would you rather give them an Honest role model, or teach them Very
early on to lie when it makes the situation easier?

The Opposite of Negative. Sounds simple, Right. Almost too
good to be true. Well, Really its Not. Too good to be True…. This simple and
easy to implement Healthy Human Habit. Once you begin this small change you
will begin to see results Right Away. Be Positive, Or at least Stop negativity
the easiest way, In your words.
The Word “No” as Negative a Statement as Possible. This
habit is extremely important to the communication within the family. Your
Probably thinking well you cant parent without saying “No”,
But thats exactly what I want you to do.On every Level. That is Important, Every Level you will find it easy to answer all your childs questions without the word "No" and both of you will be both happier and better off for using this habit. Do Not Use No, take a moment if you have to but you will see that within a day or so it is easier than you think. one of the easiest of the Healthy Human Habits. Ill list a few examples once that becomes your goal the human mind likes to offer positive soloutions, this actually triggers your bodys natural systems to express success. it is for this reason that it is an easy habit just by changing the perspective from No to yes makes a move from negative to positive this makes us feel good and confident. but to the Hard work real simple just say anything ( No Lying) but not 'NO" give the reason why as a statement of fact, offer an alternative activity, be prepared think of what you would rather the child be doing, stop them and suggest they do the other activity. at this point you can easily redirect them while you clean a mess. the point is give them a reason not to, instead of saying "NO'. this is Much easier than you think just start doing your best NOW>
Right. Lets examine
that.
Your
child asks “Can I go straight out to play, and do my homework later?”
Normally your child does the homework Right Away, So you
want to Say “No, Darling it is Homework time”
Well this one is easy. Once you make the decision to Not
Tell Your Child “NO” in life you might find that instead you will say.
“Of course you can darling, as soon as we have finished the
Homework”
Or
Darling this is the time we do our homework because its when
your mind is still thinking of school, so we will get that task finished now,
and Played once we have finished.
The Ladder has many more Benefits that will be discussed
later. The point though is I’m sure easy to see. I decided early in my parenting
research that I did not want to raise my family in a world of “No”. A byproduct
that I didn’t really plan on was my son being raised this way. Never learned
the concept of telling Mom or Dad “No”. This I see in public it blows my mind
to see A small child tell the parent “No”,
even if my children argued with me they had been taught to communicate without
the word ‘No”. this forces them to come up with real arguments with reasoning as it also cause you (The Parent) to have to
explain the reason or at least the better alternative solution. Either way it
makes a positive statement from a negative one.
“Can I stay up late?” Instead of “ No, not tonight”
“Well honey you can go to bed now and if you like we can get
up a little early, if you feel like you got enough sleep we will make
breakfast, if you are still tired you can fall back asleep. This way no matter
what You will start the day with plenty of rest.
Here on paper, it seems a lot
harder to say that instead of a simple “No”. and in writing that might be so,
but the simple response of the child with no argument left going to bed with
ease is a lot easier then the back and forth debating that can result from the
simple “No” answer. Again this example shows how it is a learning opportunity.
This habit of “ Constructive Closure” to all questions is a lot easier than you
may think. One simple requirement, Don’t use the word No. Right now think about
the last 3 questions your children asked you. Now write the questions down in
your Healthy Human Habit Notepad. Give enough room to write a small paragraph
under each of those questions. For a final question write down the question
your children ask most that you usually have to deny. I think the next step is
obvious. Below each question write at least 3 Positive responses. Responses
that DO NOT include the word “No”, “Don’t”, or “Cant’. Make one very short, an
example might be(Tonight we will be going to bed on time.”) Do the exercise
now.
Now you can see just how easy this
can be. Make a Mental commitment to remove the Negative statement “NO” from
your in home vocabulary. Challenge yourself at first, make it a game. For instance
when you engage your family after this count each time you successfully change
a No to a Positive statement. You will
find it be rewarding and be proud with each statement. Don’t over do it just
keep it simple. As stated previously this habit has Many benefits and these
benefits can be noticed immediately. When
you start this today realize that you are literally taking a Negative
Stimulation out of the environment. This in itself lightens the mood by
increasing the relative positivity around you and those involved. Normally your
response of “No” would leave the child with only denial. Where as the positive
statement offers an acceptable alternative, it informs Why, so now the child
feels he or she as learned. Subconsciously I believe this gives the mind a sort
of “Thumbs Up” an “OK” to change the idea they were planning. In many ways the question presented on
different levels can seem as a contest, a challenge, a competition to see who
wins their way. In a Subtle way you have prevented this inter-family separation to
take sides, from even happening. Just by changing the way you deny, decline, or
refuse the request you can make them happy to embrace your idea. The word “NO”
is quite powerful. In most context it leads to a negative unwanted response. We
want to raise our children with love, thoughts of caring, peaceful
enlightenment. All these ideas, Positive, and your teaching them to your
children why? Cause they don’t know yet. Right we are raising our children
because we humans have to learn how to live in order to make it in this world. So
now we agree that they don’t “Know” what
they can and can’t or should and shouldn’t
do, or what works and what doesn’t work. Well its up to you to teach them now
at the basic that sweet little toddler of yours looking at you with excited
eyes struggling to as that question. The question he or she has been focusing
on, because if they can stay up late tonight they will be able to do that
awesome thing. The whole while they are bouncing with anticipation and you know
that they cant stay up tonight. To say “NO”
is a slap to the little tot. tonight was so much fun but now it will never
happen. We know this isn’t true. We know that like every other night teeth will
be brushed, foreheads kissed and smiles in the morning. But wait remember, its
up to us to Teach them these things, Right.
Well that’s ok cause they learned tonight, or did they. “NO”, what does
that mean? What lesson was it? This example obviously uses the bedtime
question. Perfect example. We all know that there are always “some” instances
where we stay up late. So the child learned what, the only possible lesson from
“NO” is that it cant be done, right. Well but the child knows and can recall
times when he or she stayed up late, so that’s a little confusing there. So
that leaves why, Well “NO” sounds negative (Especially if you are implementing
this idea into a family with children raised with “No”) this is maybe a
punishment, While the child thinks about why because as any parent knows they
are constantly learning the whys of the world. And here is one that isn’t easy
to understand, instead they just know that Mom or dad is mad, because you
said “NO” even after the special things
they did and they helped you when you asked, so why?
See taking just one to decide How
to say “NO”, ( Basically Educating), Will build a Stronger more communicative
bond. But More importantly end with a Hug and a Smile, instead of tears and an Ultimatum.
Like all habits the more you do it
the easier it will become. We humans naturally seek out positive situations and
or solutions. I would recommend to put it on your calendar for at least 60days.
Because of the Immediate positive stimulation (You didn’t have to say “NO”) it
is an action with instant rewards. This like many of the Healthy Human Habits
will have an Impact on you as well as all those around you. Your conversation skills
will begin to improve within days. Not saying No and explaining why the
alternative route or idea is. This creates an openness. Look at it this way, ask
question answer NO. conversation over right? Well argument would be next step. Ok
instead you return with a statement, neither saying yes or “NO” right at which
point you either continue to discuss it or the child accepts (Quite possibly
with JOY) the idea or plan you have. Either way, you just had a Positive
Conversation with your child. This will increase the frequency and quality of
communication within your family. Even though at first it may seem like your
teen just rolls their eyes and walks away sulking. You are in fact Talking but
even better he or she IS LISTENING because they have an interest of their on
creation on the line. Now your taking advantage of the moment to share Positive
statements. Because of the state of interest they are open and this is a
constant contact. Think about it 5 questions that would otherwise be left quick
or argued about become quality time in which the child is expecting a denial
that really never happens. With a Toddler to teen this allows you a moment to
teach your child how to handle the issue at hand and or why it is. This is so
important. Think about this child is
often asking to find out a “why”. This is the way you speak to your family
there are many reasons not to do it in the professional world, keep in mind
though there are many situations it is useful. This habit is one of the necessary
ones. You will find after a short period of time the family (even without
explaining this idea) will begin to answer each other the same way. And the repetitive
questions will begin to cease. The family will learn to communicate with
clarity. The level of communication in the home will increase in just one week
of the main parent, if both parents launch the task together the increase in
communication would double. From toddler to middle age this simple rule in
communication will Greatly Increase your Quality of Life. Thus making it one of
the Healthy Human Habits. You have written your questions and answers and you
will challenge yourself not to say “No” to a Family Member for the next 48hrs.
Family Support.
This
is like the rest is Great for the whole family. It is recommended for best
response and results the following pathway can help the acceptance of the idea.
If only one spouse has initial interest
and doesn’t feel the spouse will easily accept the idea, the best course of action
is to implement the idea for yourself. Spend two days to a week, depending on
the reluctance of your spouse.
Understand only you know your situation, I find that most can either
attach themselves to the effectiveness or the ease with which it really works
within a couple days. Once your spouse has noticed it simply fill them in and
campaign for the kids.
Now with the toddlers and even
younger children just use this as a gage. That’s Right, don’t say anything
about it and wait to see how long it takes before your child goes an entire day
without saying “NO”. it will probably happen sooner than you think. But it definitely
gives clear evidence how they learn everything from us. That is another reason
to teach them to decide instead of simply denying.
Older children, really like to Own
their decisions. With them you definitely want to bring them in on it. The best way is use this technique to create
a week of Peace. As clever as they are they will probably call you out on this
new change, if so there is the perfect opportunity, make it sound fun and grand
as you explain it to your child and ask your child to help you by encouraging
others in the family and how to say yes
to family and life. If they fail to call you out. After a week or so just pick
out a question, a simple yes or no, something that could be either way like
shower now or in the morning, pick one you can say yes to. When the child asks
start the Positive replacement for “NO” but stop at a proper point and explain
how you are trying not to use the word “NO” for a happier life. Once you have
explained it ask your child what the reason was he or she made that request at
this time, if possible come to a agreement that allows for Yes, just make sure
that it ends with smiles. Chances are the next day you will have a diligent coach
to help you on your quest to positivity.
Teens are a little more
complicated. This habit will help the whole family even if you are the only
one. With teenagers you need to feel them out
the reason is if you have bad communication presently this habit would
probably serve you best if you just do it and not even acknowledge a change. This
is actually recommended if you are
looking for ways to reach out to your child. If you are having issues
communicating to explain what you are doing may come off as so trick or ploy. This
would hurt the whole reason for using this to build trust and communication.
Now many of Americas youth embrace new wave ideals if so be open and encourage
the child to take a challenge and see who can do the best. Either way give it at least 3 days at least
two days that you are able to implement this idea with each family member.
We are helping You to build a Healthy HumanHabit one that along with many other things may become part of what defines you.

As it may come up this paragraph is
to clarify. The word “NO” is usually what begins arguments. There is an obvious
Benefit there. From loving memories to far less stress. Just for the amount of
Negative interaction or Arguing that is
Prevented by this habit will dramatically increase your quality of life and is
more than worth the simple effort required to acquire this “Healthy Human Habit”
A great white shark is able to get about 16 feet long and weighing about 5,000 pounds. Having with 5 Gills slots a crescent-shaped tell a painted snout and two pictoral fins create a great white shark.
Coloration
The coloration of the great white shark has good purpose. On the underbelly is white almost looks as if it was painted there. The rest of the shark is a bluish gray color. The top of the shark bluish gray blends into the bottom of the sea if you are looking down on the shark.
Body shape
The size of the body can vary depending on the sex of the shark. For instance female great whites tend to be larger than males. The largest known great white was 23 feet long and weighed about 7000 pounds.
Teeth
A great white shark has about 3000 razor sharp teeth. Sawage triangular in Figure there 3 inch teeth help them to fight and acquire prey.
Habitat
Great white sharks have a large range habitat. They can be found in very warm waters near or by the surface. They have been found in water as shallow as three feet deep and is deep is 1280 meters. They can be found on the following coastlines from California to Alaska the east coast of the United States of America most of the Gulf Coast Hawaii most of South America South Africa and Australian coast except the north coast New Zealand the Mediterranean Sea West Africa to Scandinavia Japan and the eastern coastline of China to Russia.
Tails and Finns
Great white sharks tails are very very powerful. They couldn't swim without them. Their fins are really only used for balance. Without the proper balance they would not be able to catch prey.
Senses
The Great Whites most used sense is their sense of smell. Their eyesight and hearing are not very strong. Leaving the Sharks to use them less often. Their sense of smell is so strong they can smell one drop of blood in 25 gallons of water. They don't even use their nose for breathing. That is there 5 Gilles lunch job. they can sense my new electrical discharges in the water.

Well, that's a pretty negative statement, it's usual define negative statements in this writing.but I'm here to tell you that one plant will help. in fact it'll help a lot more and in many different ways than you may realize.
As we all know plants are responsible for making fresh clean air that we need to survive.there are however many many more benefits to plant life. not only do all plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen so that we can breathe it.most plants also remove particles from the air metabolize different toxins and may also release other things in there that can be toxic or beneficial to us. here on earth plants and humans are symbiotic organisms we live off each other. although it may be true that many plants are required to generate the amount of oxygen it takes in any given moment to supply human with the required amount. even a single plant is beneficial. as even the very small amount of oxygen is producing would not be there without it and the very small amount of particles it might be removed from the air would be left there without it. that being said it's definitely a great idea to go get a house plant the more the better obviously but just one is a great start. and don't worry about having or not having a green thumb some of the most beneficial plants are the easiest to grow requiring minimal sunlight and just steady amounts of water. this article will discuss the philodendron for the English IV it is also known by many other names but basically it's a very easy to grow household plant. and before we move on to the next healthy habits from this particular one I will show you how it just 10 days within 30 days you can flood your entire house with these plants and put $10 on the very first day you will go to sleep with your entire family breathing better.
Breathing better, let's think about that for a second. I am a proud salesman an ethical and honest salesman. as a salesman I've come to realize that the value of any given objects service or even idea depends solely on the values that another person can honestly and with integrity place in it. having said that what do you think the value of a Breath is, what does breathing mean to you. if you're like most humans it was probably the first goal you ever sought after and achieved in your entire life. in the very first moments of life the most crucial thing for our body is to learn to breathe. from cigarettes to meditation most of us have found that breathing can do many other things than just keep us alive from relaxing us to getting ready for an athletic event. constantly day in day out every second every day 7 days a week 365 days a year we breathe in and out. do you feel the air in your motor vehicle on your way to work is clean, let's examine that air trapped in a container that is open and closed in parking lots housing other vehicles.most all of these vehicles emit hydrocarbons chloroforms and other toxins into the air.so there could be anywhere from trace amounts of these toxins along with let's say in a perfect world 28 oxygen, 71%nitrogen, but that was only until you took your first breath. now that you taking that first press most of the toxin still remain only a little bit's been absorbed by your body, however much of the oxygen you took into your lungs has been converted and replaced with carbon dioxide, which that's okay because carbon dioxide levels can build quite a bit before you start to feel the pain and burning your lungs.so even though we're not breathing are perfect 28 percent, and yes there may be other toxins in the air in the car, but we know since removing and we have our error on the deer is being circulated in small amounts are being let out and leaked in, unfortunately like an orange jetliner here in Florida we all put our he sees on max a/c which recycles the air in the car.don't take this the wrong way there in your car is much safer than the reported in the airlines used to be, this was just an attempt to gain perspective.having thought of all that let me ask you now. how much do you value fresh air?
English ivy, my wonderful little house companion... this plant is very green leafy and beautiful. pleasing to the eye, and very easy to maintain.this friend crawls along as it grows getting ever longer. this is one of the many virtues this plant brings to your home. in a home with plant shelves we wants my children and I planted these plants along the plant shelf and then drew fishing line across the ceiling letting them crawl their ways over our heads. this gave way too many oxygen generating leads along with vines of this plant, not to mention an excellent conversation starter to all my guests. the perfect blend of light and dark greens along the broad leaves made a very calming effect almost like a green ceiling of life. and having them grow over head like that I felt very confident that the circulation of air carried it over there leaves at least once or twice a day. the ivy grows in low light its fries with light and will grow more leaves the more light is there but it will sustain and continue to live and dark dimlit conditions. you may find that when the light seems to be brighter in the summertime new leaves will grow smaller and not get quite so broad however the same plant in a darker area will grow broader darker deeper green leaves. when you place your small little starter Ivy's around your house you may have first try to place them in areas they won't get knocked over or be out of the way. keep in mind these plants are here to help you bree in and when you breathe it helps them grow, their appearance is pleasing to the eye they can even help your mood so keep them close in common areas where you spend your evening hours. for someone just getting started you may not be enthused with the plants around the home idea a great place to start our your window dressings. that's right planting plants in small pots or window sill arrangements. then encourage their growth up the sides of the window to your curtain hangers. you will begin to see many different ways in which you can exploit their growth beauty and abilities. for instance a shade of beautiful green living leaves will actually absorb more heat energy keeping the house cooler than any curtains. you mentioned you would probably be the first on the block to have a beautiful living curtain. placed in window sills in water regularly these plants will grow quickly and the great thing is for each carbon atom used to construct them, an equal oxygen atom is admitted into the air. as they grow they will increase. Still spots surrounding them. this still spot is an area in which the particulate matter in the air falls free from the air this happens during the exchange of oxygen into the leaves and carbon dioxide out of leaves.. and another excellent virtue of this particular plant, is how we are going to grow another one.
the philodendron and/or IVY (Also Pothos) can grow from clippings flipped off of the end. this particular plant grows in a straight line one leaf after another and so on and so on. add each knuckle or point where the leaf connect to the stem there is a little nodule. it is when this is kept immersed in water or severely dance for great periods of time or root will sprout. once a route has sprouted it will begin to form a new leaf. and so the cycle continues. I am constantly cutting off what I call snippets of mine and cultivating them for friends. in all my time this is probably been the easiest plant ever to maintain. I usually like snippets that are at least three leaves long that will give me 3 good routes to start with. first thing you should do is look your plan over remove any damaged or diseased looking leaves. never tear your plant apart use very sharp scissors or a sharp razor knife. once you have removed your snippets each about 3 leaves long just take a small discarded butter dish, (another healthy habit is recycling and reusing dishes such as these). fill the dish with water so that the stem portion of your snippets is covered with water and the leaves are protruding out the top. now find a sunny area in your home perhaps a window sill or even kitchen table, as even during this process you end up with what looks like a very attractive plant that can be placed on the center of a table. the kitchen table is where I root most of my snippets. within only a couple days you will be getting to see white very clean looking root protruding out from those nodules. once you can visibly see this route you made plans to plant into any soft soil. preferably I will wait until the new fresh fruits are at least one inch in length, this ensures a stronger start. now as many snippets as you have you have that many new plants to spread around your home.
Planting your snippets. as I keep reiterating throughout this order: this is the easiest plant I've ever seen you around. many of mine have been grown from soil that I've dug out from my yard. this however can have consequences with the type of soil in your yard or if you bring an unwanted bug eggs or different plant life, if you do choose this option you have two sister the dirt and pick out every route or piece of grass or it will begin to grow weeds. your best bet is to spend a few dollars at the local hardware store and buy just regular standard potting soil. a light perilite mix will keep it from hardening up after excessive watering. things like Miracle Gro can be used I would recommend but it is not necessary. once in awhile I will soak discarded eggshells in water for a few days and then use that to water my plants. now that you've planted IT you want to take time and pay attention to how you water it. it can grow with low low amounts of water or high water, .the key is simply to be consistent.
now that you have started your first house plant you can begin to enjoy the fresh air.
As I stated in the beginning for 10. We will get started. .in the United States all Walmart Supercenter stores carry this type of plant. I would recommend buying two small ones at 4.99 or one large one at 9.99 or for 2499 I would send you a kit that will help you to start for plants, this kit is designed to help you and your children have a weekend of fun and supply your home with the necessary plant life it does include the plants. back to the plant from Walmart. once you've purchased a plant bring it home, look it over for any sick or damaged leaves and remove them. then plant paying attention to where the roots into the ground from the nodules in the existing plant fine too small sections with three leaves. remove these snippets and as explained above begin the routing process. if you purchase two smaller ones to stop from sending it out too much you snippets with only two leaves.
