INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a shovel or gardening trowel to prepare your holes for planting. Each hole (for a single plant or hibiscus seed) should be as deep as the roots go, and at least twice, if not three times, as wide. The loose soil around the plant will allow for better drainage, and should not be tamped down. Plant each hibiscus plant at least 23 feet (0.60.9m) away from each other. In cold climates, plant the bulbs deeper than you normally would. In warm and soggy climates, plant the bulbs closer to the surface. Carefully place each hibiscus plant into its own individual hole, being careful not to damage the root ball. Refill the hole with soil, going only as high as the base of the stem. Covering up the stems with soil could kill the plant over time. Give your hibiscus a heavy watering two to three times in a row immediately after planting to help reduce the risk of transplant shock. Try to keep your hibiscus plants moist, but not soaking wet. Make sure that the soil your hibiscus are in is damp at all times, as when it dries out, it can cause wilting and heat stroke in the plants. In the winter when the plant is dormant, only water when the soil gets very dried out. Make sure that you wait one to two weeks before you fertilize the plants. It may be beneficial to add a layer of mulch to your hibiscus garden, as this will block out weeds and trap in moisture. Pull out any weeds on sight, so that your hibiscus are not forced to compete for space and nutrients. Tropical hibiscus tend to have issues with pest on occasion, more so than hardy varieties. If you notice spotting or decaying leaves, try using an organic insecticide to kill off any disease or bugs that are harming the hibiscus. . Although pruning sounds counterintuitive, it actually helps to promote new growth and causes more blossoms to appear. There are several methods of pruning, but they all work by cutting branches just above a node (leaf joint) at an angle away from the center of the bush. This will send a signal to the plant to grow more branches at this location, outwards and away from the center of the bush. If any part of your hibiscus dies, you should do corrective pruning and cut it off. This will remove the unsightly part of the plant, and may even cause it to re-grow from scratch. Never cut off more than of a single branch at a time, as this can harm the hibiscus more than it helps. Hibiscus will produce flowers for many months, although each individual bloom will likely only last a few days. You can leave the flowers on the bush, or cut them and use them in tea or cooking.

SUMMARY: Dig your holes. Plant your hibiscus. Water your hibiscus on a regular basis. Manage any pests. Prune the plants Enjoy the lovely flowers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Indigo requires a lot of water to thrive, so keep them well-watered. It's best to water them in the morning so that any excess water is able to evaporate over the day. You can adjust your watering schedule if it rains, providing less water. Touch the soil to feel if it's moist. If it's dry, go ahead and water the indigo. Remember that indigo is a tropical plant, so it requires a lot of moisture. Both of these animals will enjoy munching on your indigo, if they get the chance. Luckily, you can protect your harvest with these protective measures: If you can, install an 8 to 10 foot (2.4 to 3.0m) tall fence, which will be tall enough to keep them out. Alternatively, you can use an electric fence. If a fence is not an option, wrap the plants in fine-mesh chicken wire, making a double layer. This makes it harder for the animals to get to the plant. This is most critical in winter and spring, when the animals have fewer food options. Apply a repellent. You can find deer and rabbit repellents at gardening stores or online. They change the taste of the indigo so that the animals won't want it. your plot on a regular basis. Weeds will steal nutrients from your indigo plants, so pull them as soon as they pop up. Grab the weed with your hand and pull it up, making sure that you remove the root system. Check the plot for weeds every time you water the plants, as the best way to prevent them is to stop them from sprouting in the first place. It's easiest to weed when the ground is wet, so do it after a watering. If you don't see a root system at the bottom of a weed you just pulled, you can dig it out of the soil using a small shovel or trowel. Keep in mind that allowing a single weed to sprout and grow can lead to a plot full of weeds, as they seed and spread quickly.

SUMMARY: Water your plants daily. Install protective measures like a fence if your area has rabbits and deer. Weed

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can create a great deal of steam in your bathroom if you turn on your shower as hot as it will go and close the door. To fill the room, you'll want to wait at least 10 minutes so the steam has time to build. Once there is plenty of steam in the bathroom, you can set the page down so the steam can help relax its fibers. Make sure that it's not too close to the shower, though, because you don't want any moisture to develop on the paper. Check that it isn't folded or creased in any areas either. Wherever you plan to set the paper down, it's a good idea to lay down a clean towel first. It will absorb any moisture that might be on the surface from the steam, so you don't have to worry about the paper getting too wet. In order for the steam to help the paper release the wrinkles, you'll need to keep it in the bathroom for approximately 10 minutes. If the page is severely wrinkled, you may want to give it extra time -- but check on it every so often to ensure that it's not absorbing too much moisture. After the paper has been steamed, remove it from the bathroom, and place it on another flat surface. While the steam may have helped release some of the wrinkles, you should use your hand to press over it again while the paper is still relaxed from the steam. Be gentle, though, because you don't want to tear or damage the page. You may want to cover your hand in a clean hand towel before smoothing the paper. That will help protect it from any dirt, oils, or other debris that might be on your skin. Even if you manage to smooth most of the wrinkles out of the paper, you may want to place the paper under a heavy weight for several hours to a day in order to further press it.

SUMMARY:
Turn on the shower. Set the paper on a flat surface. Let it sit. Smooth out the wrinkles with hand.
