What colors they mix into.
What colors do you get when you mix blue, red, and yellow with orange, green and violet?
Actually this question is reduntant.
Red, yellow and blue mixed together make brown.
They are the primary colors.
Green comes from blue and yellow being mixed
and violet from red and blue and
orange from red and yellow-so if you mix them all togehter you get brown too.
Mud brown may be the exact answer.
Try it yourself and see.

What is the best way to propagate an African Violet? Why?
I'm doing a leaf cutting.....but I'm not sure....
What is the best way to propagate an African Violet? Why?
I do this a lot. Here's how. Choose a healthy looking leaf with at least a one inch stem. Pinch the leaf off half way down the stem. Use the eraser end of a pencil to poke a hole into the soil equal to the length of the stem. Put stem into hole and press soil around stem AND base of leaf. Root stimulating products are not necessary. Water plant as needed by using a spoon to carefully drip water around base of leaf. The leaf does not like to get wet. Put the plant in a sunny window. Do not cover it. Water once daily ( or less if soggy ) and be patient. This will take much time, but it works great. You will see baby leaves begin to grow from the base of the old leaf. I do not use fancy soil or fuss about cutting style and my plants have always grown fine.
Reply:I prefer to take a mature leaf, neither a very new one or a very old one. Cut the leaf stem down to about an inch and half in length if it's longer; don't cut directly across, but at an angle to the stem, so that plenty of tissue is exposed. Pot the leaf in a container of FRESH African violet potting soil; be sure the pot is labeled as to the variety of the leaf. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet. It takes time, but in a few weeks you should start to see "babies" coming up through the soil. When the leaves are about the size of a dime, the young plants are big enough to be separated and planted individually.
Some folks use water because the roots seem to show up more quickly; however, I've found that water-rooted babies are a lot more fragile, since the water has been supporting the leaves during development, and I used to lose a lot of them that way. Soil rooting takes a little longer, but I get MUCH better plants that way, with strong leaf stems and a good root system. Likewise, I know that some people use rooting hormone when they propagate leaves; again, though, I've found that you get lots of roots this way, but not many leaves, and ultimately you may not get ENOUGH leaves to have a viable plant.
If you can provide some mild heat underneath the leaves (presuming you don't allow the soil to dry out), I've found that the plants root and grow considerably faster than in room-temperature air. I use some pet bed warmer pads for this purpose; you can get them on eBay for about $20, but they're certainly not a necessity. I use covered flats to start violet leaves, but you can also do something as simple as covering a pot with a clear plastic bag to retain moisture.
Enjoy your new plants!
Reply:I seem to have luck by placing the leaf in water until roots show and then place it in a pot with potting soil. You can also place it in a pot and water it until it roots. Both ways have worked for me.

What size ultra-violet filter should I buy?
I have a 100 gal pond that has cronic green algee. I want to find the correct size filter. The water pump has a 350 gal per hour return rate.
What size ultra-violet filter should I buy?
1. You only need 8 watt for a 100 gallon pond.
2. Reduce the flow into the UV Sterilizer with a diverter - the water needs a minimum exposure time to the sterilizer to kill the algae and whatnot.
3. Be patient - it won't happen overnight. It takes about 3 weeks.
4. Make sure you keep the biofilter running. The UVC will kill the algae, but the filter removes it. UVCs are only sterilizers not filters...
You'll be pleased. Check Lowes or Home Depot - they have economical ones - under $100.
Reply:You should get a #4 70 watt Ultra-Violet filter.

How soon can I plant Dahlia, Morning Glory, Violet and mixed wild flower seeds in North Texas?
North Texas is probably zone 7 so I would suggest after April 1st. After all danger of last freeze.
How soon can I plant Dahlia, Morning Glory, Violet and mixed wild flower seeds in North Texas?
Wait until no danger of frost.
Reply:Planted yesterday in Mesquite Tex
Reply:Wit dahlias, after the last frost. With the others, you can plant them anytime. Violets take the cold well, and some of the flowers in the wild mix do also.
We live in California and have already planted most things. All are doing well, even though the nights go down to 41. The sun is the key, and we are getting 65 right now during the day, with the sun on all of the growing areas.\
Good luck

Why is it that the bottom of the ocean goes green and then to blue/violet?
I know it has something to do with the larger wavelengths of light such as red and orange getting absorbed as it gets deeper into the ocean. Can anyone expand on this for me? Thanks.
Why is it that the bottom of the ocean goes green and then to blue/violet?
You are right! The wavelength of blue light allows it to go further than red light. This is also a reason that many deep sea creatures are red as opposed to black, because no red light can reach these depths they can't be seen by any other deep sea creatures.
Reply:When you view the ocean from above you are seeing what is left of light after it is absorbed and reflected. If you think of the ocean sand as "yellow", then when the ocean is shallow you are seeing a combination of blue and yellow, which is green.
When it is deep there is only blue with no reflection from the bottom so it is blue.
Reply:its possible it could be explained with quantum or atomic physics?
just like compounds only give off certain wavelengths, they only absorb the same ones. i have no basis for this but it could be that water absorbs more red than violet. and since water is a compound, it should have wider bands which could cover greater spans of wavelengths.
it could also be the same reason the sky is blue.

UV lamps do have a "violet" color, however, it's not truly violet, but ultraviolet (UV is in the visible spectrum). Plants do enjoy UV lamps indoors because they need a certain amount of UV to further photosynthesis. Don't forget that sun is best for them thought.
Reply:A true ultraviolet lamp emits ultraviolet light- a shorter wavelength than even violet. As plants use red and blue light to grow, giving them only ultraviolet light will only cause them to starve. Or mutate... ultraviolet light is used in labs to produce mutations in experimental organisms.
I doubt you have a true UV lamp tho... So probably no mutations for you.

The violet stands for faithfulness, the daisy for innocense, the lily for innocense all that smell good.?
How can the pelican flower smell like rotting meat? How can some smell good and others smell so bad?
The violet stands for faithfulness, the daisy for innocense, the lily for innocense all that smell good.?
Ah my dear, all that looks beautiful is not necessarily sweet. Sometimes the littlest and ugliest can smell so sweet it can take your breathe away. What some would call weeds are just as pretty to see. :D
Reply:Some plants use scent to attract flies and wasps as pollinators, rather than bees. Pheeeewwww!
Reply:Flowers, like People, have some excellent examples, and also some 'poor' varieties...!!
Reply:no. i have never smelt a bad scent from any flower. but i learned, violet means forgive, daisy means love, and the lily means peace.
