I got a ficas plant for my birthday (a month ago), and in the last week, it's started loosing a lot of leaves.

Is it getting too much/not enough sun? too much water/not enough water?

right now it's indoors where it doesn't get a lot of direct sun light, and I've been waiting until the dirt in it's pot is dry on top before I water it again.

any tips or advice would be great.

We have had tomato plants (about 2 ft high) disappear from our garden twice now this year, and once last year, and it happened overnight. There were no deer tracks, people tracks, or any other kinds of tracks, and no signs of what happened. These things were nice, busy, beautiful plants when we went to bed. When we got up the next morning they were COMPLETELY gone, root and all, and no indication as to what happened. Any clue as to what might cause this? At first we thought deer, but they would leave tracks. They hadn't produced any tomatoes yet, so I doubt rodents/racoons/etc would be interested. I sincerely doubt bugs could do that overnight. So what could it be??????????

I don't want to use harmful chemicals. There are few enough bees left in the world as it is.

I notice that when it rains the grass and plants grow at almost an explosive rate. Yet when I water the plant from the faucet they do not grow as well. Now is there Nitrogen in rain water which is a fertalizer? Or is it the minerals in tap water that makes the difference in the rate of plant growth. I guess nature knows best but if anyone knows the answer to this I would like to know. Thanks for any help..

First I am not a drug addict in anyway and only tried it once when I was young and it made me so paranoid I went nuts , same with my fiancee so we have no interest in using it . However my fiancee thinks the plant would look nice in the garden , it is a unique plant so I really have no qualms about it other then I wonder if I will be arrested .

Question - Is it illegal to grow marijuana or is this possession ? Would I need a lawyer to get clearance to grow it ?

Is there anything I can plant over top of the poison oak and poison ivy plant to drown it out? Or do I just have to use a weed killer chemical? I'm trying to avoid killing some seedlings I planted nearby.

I would like to have climbing roses that bloom all summer long like my mother's used to. The color dosen't really matter but hardiness and scent are a big plus. How are all season bloomers labeled? Any suggestions on names? I live in zone 6. Thanks.

I Am starting a Lawn Maintance Business around where i live and its alright but i wanted to ask all of you if you like it when they cut your lawn and the mulch is left on the grass or you liked it bag??
Leaving the mulch i know for sure has no damage if you cut your lawn regurarly of course if you got your lawn 1 ft high and cut almost all of it off then you are going to damage your lawn but if you cut your lawn regulary say once a week or twice a week then it actually does good on it. The cilppins left on your lawn contribute to 1/2 to 2 pounds of nitrogen which then return to the soil as they break down which provides nutrients to the soils and supply it with organic matter. I know it maybe not look as organized put what do you people prefer when you cut your lawn or whoever does it for you. I like to leave there too because its alot easier..lol
