Answer to Question 1

Most of the interior plants that are available on today's market are from ancestors that grew and
reproduced in warm, tropical climates. They were understory plants, sheltered from the intense tropical
sun by taller trees that can tolerate extreme light levels. This is the reason why such plants perform
well in the low light of interiors. The plant life growing under protective trees flourished in the
dappled sunlight, warm temperatures and frequent rainfall in the tropical forest. The abundance of
plant and animal life created soil rich in decomposed organic material with ample water-filled and airfilled
pore spaces.



Answer to Question 2

To avoid poor aesthetics, don't use a plant when it:
-requires staking in order to remain upright.
-has lost too many lower leaves resulting in awkward proportions.
-is top heavy and visually unbalanced in container.
-has grown too large for its space.
-has infestations resulting in sticky honeydew.
-has a Charlie Brown Christmas tree appearance.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
