La Kentia: Eleganza al Columbia Road

Ciao a tutti! Oggi voglio continuare a parlarvi della mia recente visita al Columbia Road Flower Market a Londra, un luogo veramente affascinante per gli amanti dei fiori e delle piante. Se vi siete persi il mio post di lunedì 9 ottobre riguardante le ortensie recise, vi consiglio di dargli un'occhiata per scoprire un po' di più su di loro. Oggi, invece, voglio parlarvi di un'altra pianta che ho notato essere molto popolare tra gli inglesi al Columbia Road Flower Market: la Kentia o Kenzia. Questa pianta è ammirata per la sua eleganza e la sua bellezza intramontabile. Ecco una breve descrizione della coltura della Kentia: Kentia (Howea forsteriana):La Kentia è una pianta di palma originaria dell'isola di Lord Howe, situata nell'Oceano Pacifico. È nota per le sue fronde lunghe e eleganti che si sviluppano a partire da un singolo tronco. 1. Luce: La Kentia prospera in luoghi con luce indiretta brillante, ma può tollerare anche luce più scarsa. È una scelta ideale per interni con finestre ombreggiate. 2. Temperatura: Queste piante preferiscono temperature moderate, tra i 18°C e i 24°C. Evitate sbalzi di temperatura e correnti d'aria fredde. 3. Annaffiature: La Kentia ama avere il terreno umido ma non completamente bagnato. Annaffiate quando il terreno in superficie inizia ad asciugarsi leggermente. Assicuratevi che il vaso abbia un buon drenaggio per evitare il ristagno d'acqua. 4. Concimazione: Nutrite la Kentia con un fertilizzante equilibrato una volta al mese durante la stagione di crescita (primavera ed estate). 5. Riproduzione: La Kentia è solitamente propagata per seme, ma questo è un processo molto lento. È più comune acquistare una pianta già matura. La Kentia è ampiamente apprezzata per la sua resistenza e la sua capacità di adattarsi a condizioni di crescita interne. È una scelta ideale per chi desidera introdurre un tocco di lussuosa vegetazione verde nella propria casa o ufficio. E voi, avete mai coltivato una Kentia? Fatemi sapere nei commenti!

Mikel Arteta osuđuje dvije "skandalozne" odluke o jedanaestercima nakon što je Arsenal zadržao Newcastle

Mikel Arteta vjeruje da su njegovom Arsenalu pogrešno odbijena dva jedanaesterca u 0-0 remiju protiv Newcastlea, nazivajući te odluke "skandaloznim". Menadžer Topnika izgubio je kontrolu u zadnjim minutama kada je izašao oči u oči s kolegom iz Newcastlea Eddiejem Howeom nakon što je Madley odbio Arsenalu kasni penal kada se činilo da je lopta rikošetirala o ruku. Kasno rasplamsavanje na aut liniji dogodilo se samo nekoliko sekundi prije nego što je Madley produžila vrijeme na stadionu Emirates. Remi je bio prvi put da je Arsenal ispustio bodove na Emirates Stadiumu ove sezone jer su propustili priliku prići 10 bodova više od drugoplasiranog Manchester Cityja.

"Bila su dva jedanaesterca. Vrlo je jednostavno. Govorim o onome što sam vidio. Bila su to dva skandalozna penala", rekao je Arteta koji je pohvalio rad igrača u nogometni dresovi. Međutim, potonja odluka Andrewa Madleya izgledala je ispravno, dok bi drugačija odluka za prvu bila izvan konteksta u igri u kojoj je borba za setove bila rutina. Suprotni broj Eddie Howe smatrao je da bi kasni penal protiv Murphyja, čija ruka naizgled nije bila u neprirodnom položaju, bio "parodija". Njegov Newcastle napravio je posao da Arsenal izvuče iz njihovog glatkog pristupa u naporan susret - i misija je bila ispunjena.

Howea su također pitali o kvaru na aut liniji pred kraj utakmice - ali šef Newcastlea odlučio je umanjiti sukob. Ipak, unatoč tome što je za početak sezone završio niz od sedam uzastopnih pobjeda na domaćem terenu u ligi, Arteta je inzistirao da ne smatra da je rezultat od utorka bio slučaj dva izgubljena boda. Bio je iznimno ponosan na igrače u Arsenal dres. I bez obzira na odluke o kaznama, Arsenal se borio za stvaranje prilika protiv upornog Newcastlea koji se nadao da će zaraditi mjesto u Ligi prvaka ove sezone. Arteta je umanjio kasnu svađu s Eddiejem Howeom kao "dio igre", također odbijajući izravno kritizirati Madleyja i njegov tim dužnosnika.

On Soil and Speciation

Many of you will undoubtedly be familiar with some variation of this evolutionary story: A population of one species becomes geographically isolated from another population of the same species. Over time, these two separate populations gradually evolve in response to environmental pressures in their respective habitats. After enough time has elapsed, gradual genetic changes result in reproductive isolation and eventually the formation of two new species. This is called allopatric speciation and countless examples of this exist in the real world.

At the opposite end of this speciation spectrum is sympatric speciation. Under this scenario, physical isolation does not occur. Instead, through some other form of isolation, perhaps reproductive or phenological, a species gives rise to two new species despite still having contact. Examples of this in nature are far less common but various investigations have shown it is indeed possible. Despite its rarity, examples of sympatric speciation have nonetheless been found and one incredible example has occurred on a small oceanic island off the coast of Australia called Lord Howe Island.

Lord Howe Island is relatively small, volcanic island that formed approximately 6.4–6.9 million years ago. It is home to four distinct species of palm trees from three different genera, all of which are endemic. Of these four different palms, two species, Howea belmoreana and Howea forsteriana, are quite common. Interestingly enough, H. forsteriana, commonly known as the kentia palm, is one of the most commonly grown houseplants in the entire world. However, their horticultural value is not the most interesting thing about these palms. What is most remarkable is how these two species arose. 

Multiple genetic analyses have reveled that both species originated on Lord Howe Island. This is kind of odd considering how small the island actually is. Both palms can regularly be found growing in the vicinity of one another so the big question here is what exactly drove the evolution of their common ancestor? How does a single species growing on a small, isolated island become two? The answer is quite surprising.

When researchers took a closer look at the natural histories of these two species, they found that they were in a sense isolated from one another. The isolation is due to major phenological or timing differences in their reproductive efforts. H. forsteriana flowers roughly six weeks before H. belmoreana. Flowering time is certainly enough to drive a wedge between populations but the question that still needed answering was how do such phenological asynchronies occur, especially on an island with a land area less than 12 square kilometers? 

As it turns out, the answer all comes down to soil. Individuals of H. belmoreana are restricted to growing in neutral to acidic soils whereas H. forsteriana seems to prefer to grow in soils rich in calcarenite. These soils have a more basic pH and dominate the low lying areas of the island. Growing in calcarenite soils is stressful as they are poor in nutrients. This physiological stress has caused a shift in the way in which the flowers of H. forsteriana mature. When found growing on richer volcanic soils, the researchers noted that the flowers mature in a way that is more synchronous, not unlike the flowers of H. belmoreana.

Thanks to their attention to detailed life history events and conditions, researchers were able to show that soil preferences caused a phenological shift in the flowering of these two related species. Because they flower at completely different times when growing on their respective soil types, enough reproductive isolation was introduced to disrupt the random mating process of these wind pollinated palms. As soon as such reproductive biases are introduced, speciation can and will occur.

House Plants For Your Healthy Life

Nowadays, lodging is the biggest problem that occurs on the planet since human populace increments quickly step by step. To take care of this problem, houses are constructed anyplace and the equilibrium of nature is overlooked. A few nations find out more here never again have spaces for foresting and planting, thus many individuals are absence of outside air.

House plants are the response of those problems. To recuperate outside air however the city you live in doesn't have any parks, for what reason don't you attempt to make your own little park at home? By planting them, the poisons around you are separated. It is useful, simple, modest, and valuable.

You can put house plants inside or outside your home. By adding them to your home, you will feel how dozing and eating can be so unique, or you will be shocked observing the way in which you don't feel worried after work. It happens on the grounds that the nature of your life has expanded.

Pruned plants are straightforward, yet they work viably to clean the air encompass you without making any commotions and accepting big spaces as the ionizers do. They are additionally modest, and you can make them as a piece of your home styles. Ionizers can't make your home lovely, correct?

Assuming you like cultivating, you can pick house plants that you can collect and eat. Nowadays, innovation improvement permits you to plant crops at home. The seeds can be tracked down effectively in flower vendor. Just put miniature greens to your pots, and they will develop without any problem.

Miniature greens are the normal vegetables and herbs you find at general stores, for example, mustard, radishes, clover cabbage, carrots, broccoli, basil, and so on They are your cherished vegetables, right? Simply envision you can add the plants you develop yourself to your soups, plunges, mixed greens, sandwiches, and some other dishes. It is quite sound.

Assuming that you really want different ideas of houseplants, here are top ten house plants you can consider: o Philodendron o Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera delicosa) o Zamioculcas zamifolia o Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) o Kentia Palm (Howea fosterania) o Boston Fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata) o Miniature Date Palm (Phoenix roebelinii) o Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) o Ficus Alii o Dracaena fragrans"Janet Craig"

Safe Aviary Plants and Toxic Plants for Birds@|what plants can i put in an outdoor aviary@|@|24

Plants not only add aesthetic value to an otherwise sterile-looking enclosure, but they also provide a more natural, engaging, and secure environment for the inhabitants to enjoy. Using plants to create visual barriers within the flight may help reduce aggression among cagemates by providing objects for the birds to hide behind.5 This in turn helps to make the birds feel more secure, and may therefore result in reduced stress levels. Foliage in the cage gives the birds something to occupy themselves with–birds often chew on, play within, and even build nests out of plants placed in their living space.

For this reason, care must be taken when selecting plants to decorate a flight. Both live and fake plants may be used, but all parts of the plant must be safe and nontoxic. The best fake plants to use are constructed of untreated silk and plastic. Make sure the silk plants do not have any components that may be easy for a bird to consume, tangle itself in, get caught on, or stuck by. Treated wood baskets and paper plants may be hazardous choices and are not recommended for decorating flights. Two benefits of using silk plants are: 1) they are not as easily destroyed by the birds, and 2) they can be scrubbed clean and disinfected as needed.

[external_link_head]

Live plants tend to demand more upkeep and may need to be replaced more frequently, as finches often love to pick them apart. Try to obtain plants that have not been sprayed with any pesticides or chemicals, and be sure to rinse the plants off before placing them in and around the flight. Do not add any fertilizers to the soil (they are toxic);6 if fertilizers are already present in the soil, repot the plant with uncontaminated soil. Leaving each plant in its pot is suggested, in case a plant dies and needs to be removed.

Helpful Hints41

Placement Plantings should be spaced appropriately to allow room for flight paths and to permit the birds to access to the floor of the enclosure. Walk-in enclosures should also have planned pathways for birdkeeper access. Be careful to provide climbing vines with trellis to support the weight of their growth; otherwise they could break the aviary mesh and allow escape of the birds.

Selection Aside from ensuring that the plant(s) you have selected are non-toxic, try to avoid purchasing plants which are tall and rapidly-growing as these will require constant pruning. In addition to considering what plants are best suited for your area, don’t forget to also consider the needs of the birds. Avadavats and Munias enjoy climbing small bamboos and grasses, for example, Munias and Mannikins prefer to weave their nests into grass clumps, and Weavers need palm leaves and broad-leafed grasses for nesting material.

Timing of Live Plantings Plants should be added to the enclosure as it is being completed. The plants should be allowed to grow sufficiently before adding the birds; this way, the plants will be better able to withstand being nibbled on. Ideally plants should produce their densest foliage while the birds are nesting.

Toxic Plants

Plant toxicosis in birds occurs if they chew on or ingest toxic plants. The toxic reaction can be due to pesticide residues on the plants, or to toxins within the plants themselves. Birds which chew on toxic plants may develop oral irritation; if they ingest enough, systemic clinical signs can occur such as vomiting or diarrhea. There is likely significant species differences in sensitivity,16 and studies are lacking. However, plants which have been reported as toxic in some birds, or which are considered to be potentially toxic include:6,25,52,29,56,16,17,28

Avian Plant Toxicology Research

Studies of plant toxicity in finch species are greatly lacking, however a few studies were done using canaries. Unfortunately, because great variation exists among species, it is not safe to assume that plants which are non-toxic to canaries are equally safe to other birds and vice versa.

[external_link offset=2]

AUTHOR(S): Arai, M.; Stauber, E.; Shropshire, C. M. TITLE: Evaluation of selected plants for their toxic effects on canaries. YEAR: 1992 CITATION: J Am Vet Med Assoc, 200(9), +61404532026

ABSTRACT: Leaves or fruit from 14 plants considered to be toxic to pet birds were administered by gavage to 15 pairs of canaries (Serinus canaria). Each bird was given 0.12 to 0.70 g of plant material. One pair served as a control and was given distilled water. The plant materials were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, pulverized, and resuspended in deionized water for administration. Of the plants tested, 5 (

oleander, lupine, foxglove, yew leaves, and dieffenbachia) were considered highly toxic and were associated with acute death of birds. The remaining plant samples (clematis, Hoya carnosa, privet Ligustrum vulgare, parsley Petrosilium sativum, cherry Prunus sp., Pyracantha coccinia, rhododendron, black locust Robinia pseudoacacia, and wisteria) caused no, or only transient, clinical illness.

ABSTRACT: Following two incidents in which a pet canary and three pet cockatiels died under conditions suggesting ingestion of avocado as cause of death, an experimental study was undertaken. Avocados of two cultivars were mashed and administered via feeding cannula to 8 canaries and 8 budgerigars. Two control budgerigars were given water via feeding cannula. Six budgerigars and 1 canary died within 24 to 47 hours after the first administration of avocado.

Deaths were associated with administration of both avocado cultivars. Higher dose was associated with greater mortality. The 2 budgerigars given water were normal throughout the observation period. It is concluded that avocados are highly toxic to budgerigars and less toxic to canaries. PM findings observed in some birds included subcutaneous oedema in the pectoral area and hydropericardium.

The following study was done using just budgies:

AUTHOR(S): Shropshire, C. M.; Stauber, E.; Arai, A. TITLE: Evaluation of selected plants for acute toxicosis in budgerigars. YEAR: 1992 CITATION: J Am Vet Med Assoc, 200(7), 936-939

ABSTRACT: Pairs of budgerigars were given samples, by gavage, of plants considered potentially toxic to pet birds. Samples were prepared by flash-freezing and powdering fresh plant material in liquid nitrogen and resuspending the material in deionized water for administration. Of the 19 plants tested, only 6 induced clinical signs of illness; these plants included

yew, oleander, clematis, avocado, black locust, and Virginia creeper (Taxus media, Nerium oleander, Clematis sp, Persea americana, Robinia pseudoacacia, Parthenocissus quinquefolio).

The other plants tested in this study were: bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), privet (Ligustrum sp.), honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), lupine (Lupinus sp.), cherry (Prunus sp.), pyracantha (Pyracantha coccinea), boxwood (Buxus sp.), dumbcane (Dieffenbachia seguine), foxglove (Digitalis sp.), spindle bush (Euonymus alatus), poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherima), rhododendron (Rhododendron sp.), and blue elderberry (Sambucus cerulea).

Note how some plants which appear well tolerated by budgies (lupine, dieffenbachia, foxglove) prove fatal to canaries, while some plants which canaries appear to tolerate (clematis, black locust) make budgies quite ill. Until more research is done, it is important to err on the side of caution and avoid any plant which may potentially be toxic. [external_footer]
