noncarnivorous plants have evolved intense smells or syrupy saps to attract bees, butterflies and other insects; the plants then use these bugs to ferry the pollen needed to fertilize neighboring plants of the same species.
Should I fertilize more and keep an eye on the levels as I tweak the amount of easy green that I add to the tank? I have 4 ottos that keep the algae in check and my four albino corys polish off the food that doesn’t get eaten as well as the sinking bug bites for them, i ...

In shade gardens that are not close to tree roots, you may not need to fertilize at all (if your shade-resistant plants are native). 3. What type of plants can I put in my container gardens? You can have a blast mixing and matching different varieties of plants, playing with color,...

When she is ready to lay her eggs, months down the road in some species, she uses the sperm to fertilize them. Some spiders may lay hundreds, even thousands of eggs in one shot. In the next section, we'll look at what happens once the eggs are fertilized. The Spider Egg Sac This...
