Hello all. I recently bought an indoor rose plant. I have heard they don't need much to any sunlight and are easy to care for. I repotted in a pot three times as large as the original. What else do I need to do? Thanks.

Preferably one that also cools.
The room is 12x12.

I see them on the sidewalk. They are the size of a tip of a pen. Someone told me they are baby spiders? I really don't think so...

My husband and I have an apartment in Hawaii. And, included with that is a huge ant and roach problem. We seem to get ants in our bathroom and roaches in our kitchen no matter how clean we keep the place.

Unfortunately, I've been told that it's "part of life in Hawaii", and I presume it's because noone really cares to take care of the pests. The roaches are about an inch long. The ants are "ghost ants", are very tiny, and supposedly love water (though I rarely see them near any to be honest). We can't keep spraying RAID because by the time we've thoroughly stopped them, we're getting sick from the smell, and exterminators push our wallets a little farther than they can go. What's a good solution for at least deterring ants and roaches using our home as a pit stop between uncaring persons? There are no children to worry about in this instance - just two adults not wanting to feel like animals in a cave.

I have seen before where people make a planter out of a fish tank by putting some sand and cactus plants in it---is there a proper way to build a "mini bio-dome" like this (so to speak) if so I'm interested in learning how
any links to sites on how to grow cactus or on how to build a mini bio-dome would be greatly appreciated!

I killed a black widow spider that had spun a web in front of my door yesterday, it had spun a web, but I don't think I saw any eggs, there were lots of small black things in the web (nats maybe?). I am terified of spiders and what I am trying to find out if I should have the house sprayed. If I have one does it mean their could be an infestation? I found it outside, so I know that doesn't necessarily mean that we have them in the house, but there are lots of bushes by the front door where I found it.

I bought those little pellets of dirt that puff up when you put water on them to grow my herb garden. It came with a little plastic covered greenhouse and I can see in the afternoon that it is really hot in there...the dirt is actually hot to the touch. My questions are:
1. Can it get too hot? They haven't sprouted yet but it's only been just over a week.
2: Can I put something like saran wrap over my other herbs in pots for the next week or two to act like a little greenhouse or will it not work the same?

Thanks.

Could anyone offer suggestions as in what to look for and what to avoid when buying pans. I'm not much of a chef or anything, but I like to make informed purchases and I value quality, but can't swing calphalon or anything like that. Thanks.

First time I saw it I was half asleep and it ran in front of me toward some cabinets. I checked, and there was no hole so I'm not sure where it went. Second time it ran across my counter and into a vent on my stove. I never really got a good look at it because it was so quick. I sort of seen it out the corner of my eye twice. It was like a blur. It's not that big, because he easily darted into this small vent on my stove. I still wouldn't believe it was true, but recently it nibbled on a M & M's package that was sitting on my microwave and the packing to a loaf of bread. I have the poison traps, to which it apears he has eaten a few times and he's still alive. I have tried the glue traps, which have failed. I can't get a cat, because I have a 14 month old American Bulldog. Besides this thing is so quick and nibble a cat would have a hard time catching it.

What is more efficient? Hot water from water heater at 120 F - 140 F, then heating to boiling point. Or, heating water on stove from room temperature to boiling point. There are a lot of variables on this one. I imagine there will be many different answers.

I have an adenium and suddenly a big hairy caterpillar came to its current place. How to keep it out? Spray it with insecticide? Because its current place is the best place to get much sunlight, I don't have any other choices.

There are a couple fire ant mounds around my pond. It's a small pond (200 gal) and I have goldfish in the pond. I don't want to use any chemicals because it would end up going into the water and kill the fish.

I uread somewhere ages ago that there are certain plants that are more susceptible to pests, etc. when planted next to the wrong plants. or whatever the reason was. can anyone elaborate on this and then tell me what to plant alongside which plants. I've currently got seeds for lilies, gladioli(sp) (basically I love bulbs and all large vibrant blooms) and roses already planted on their own.

I recently bought a "assorted houseplant". It was so unusual
looking, I had to buy it, but it didn't give me any indication on the pot as to what type of plant it is.
It came in about a 6" pot and it looks like long green spears/spikes....could be a succulant. I call it a Green Bean plant, lol....I have looked on the internet and am not having any luck. The points of the spears are very sharp.
The taller spears are about 1' 6" some are a bit shorter.
It would be nice when they're selling plants, they'd label them,lol...

Someone said put bleach in the toilet. Keep the air conditioner on. Cover the toilet with plastic wrap to stop dehydration. Any other tips? The more info, the better.
