Garden & Landscape - December 2007

I have currently grown two orange/tangerine seeds in a 6" pot into small sprouts about 2", but it's been about 2 months and they have basically stopped growing (but they are still alive and look healthy.) What can I do to get them more light and warmth even though it's winter? Will regular lights work as well as sunlight for photosynthesis or is it the wrong wavelength? I don't want to buy any specialized lamps or bulbs for them.

What should I do to keep them warm? Will keeping them in an airtight container help keep heat in? Should I blow in it to add moisture and CO2?

I am also planning on growing a mango pit that I got out of a mango from the grocery store, but I think I will wait for spring. Any tips for that too?

Mainly I just want to know if it's possible to have warm-climate plants thrive in a house at 20 degrees C, or should I basically just rip them out and wait until spring?

When the oranges came up they had 2 shoots and I cut one off... is that y they stop growin

In my school there is an outdoor student lounge that is all cement, and we are trying to green the school. What kind of plants can we grow in either pots or plant boxes that are green all year, and do not require a lot of water (watering more than once a week).
The school is in Los Angeles, CA, if that makes a difference.

my dad has a couple of glass fishtanks in his garden, now the weather is getting cold he's concerned if they freeze it'll crack the tank. is there anything that can be done about this? no chemicals please as theres pond plants in them and possibly some other wildlife. i remember something about floating a tennis ball in there to take the pressure off but am not quite sure if i've made this up in my mind or mixed it up with somethin else!!

The plant is one of those viney plants that dangle downwards, is this in any way harmful for the plant? because of the frequent cycles of light, i'm sure it is very confusing for the plant to differentiate between day and night because of this. should the plant be moved?

I believe Robins are very teritorial and will fight to the death - I have at least two, maybe three who turn up in my garden (presumably they have carved it up among themselves).

All my birdfeeders are in one place - is this going to cause conflict?

It has a very strong smell and it is like a long thin dark green leaf and it has a very soft velvety feelign when you rub it between you fingers. I was told it was Thyme but I don't think so becasue Thyme looks different.
