Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your poinsettia where it can get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Water your plant thoroughly every few days. Prune dead foliage. Cut back stems that have begun to rot.

Answer: As soon as you’ve made the decision to rescue your leftover poinsettia, relocate it to a well-lit spot inside your home. Settings with bright, filtered sunlight, like an east or west-facing window or an open living room, will offer the best results. Poinsettias are light-loving plants that need lots of indirect exposure to remain viable. The exact amount of water you use will depend on the needs of the plant, the size of its container, and the temperature of its surrounding environment. As a general rule, however, you should pour in just enough to moisten the soil. Repeat as frequently as needed, allowing the soil to dry to the touch between waterings.  Most average-sized plants will need about ¾ cup (180 mL) of water every 1-2 days. Be careful not to overwater your poinsettia. Soggy soil can lead to root rot and other complications that can easily kill the plant.  Make sure that the pot has holes on the bottom for drainage. If it doesn't, get a different pot or drill holes into the bottom. Scan the poinsettia for old leaves that have shriveled up or lost their color and pluck them away by hand. Be sure to remove any leaves that have already fallen into the plant’s container, as well. Healthy-looking foliage can be left intact. Your poinsettia may look like little more than a bare stick by the time you’re finished pruning. This is completely normal. The colorful foliage will return once the plant emerges from dormancy in the spring. Inspect the plant for mature stems that appear sickly or discolored. Use a pair of pruning shears to clip these at least half an inch below the affected area. It’s possible that you may end up clipping all of the existing stems, leaving only the newer offshoots at the base of the plant.  Trimming the stems will also help stimulate new growth in plants that are still healthy.  Add rotten stems and foliage to your compost pile to convert it into organic material that you can use to treat your poinsettia once it starts growing again. If the stems are diseased or carry pests, however, throw them away in the garbage and not the compost pile.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Approach a squirrel that you see eating your treats regularly. Bend down and walk toward the squirrel slowly until it looks like it may run. Crouch onto your knees and hold out a handful of the squirrel’s food. Toss some of the food gently between you and the squirrel to entice them. Place the food at shorter distances so the squirrel approaches your hand. Be patient and try new tricks as the squirrel begins to trust you.

Answer: As you’re feeding the squirrels, you’ll notice that you have some “repeat customers.” Wait until you see a squirrel that comes by often, and then go outside near the feeder to observe it and decide if you want to try to feed it. If the squirrel doesn’t come to your feeder regularly, they probably aren’t used to your scent and will be scared off as soon as you approach. If the squirrel is at ground level, try to get as low as possible and approach from an angle. Walk slowly, and when the squirrel stops what they’re doing, stop walking until it begins moving again. Eventually, the squirrel will look at you, and you can stop where you are. If the squirrel runs away, simply move away from the feeder and wait a day before approaching again. Once the squirrel looks at you, kneel down and hold out a mix of nuts, seeds, and a few pieces of fruit or vegetables if you’ve been feeding the squirrels any treats. Slowly extend your hand as much as possible so the squirrel can see and smell the food. At this point, the squirrel will already be eating, but it might be enticed by tastier treats that it doesn’t have in its usual food, like fruits and vegetables. Gently throw about ¼ of the food halfway between you and the squirrel, and wait for it to walk toward you to eat it. If it doesn’t, throw a little bit more to try to lure it closer to you so it knows you’re trying to feed it.  Be patient! It may take some time for the squirrel to trust getting closer to you. Don’t throw the food at the squirrel, but rather toss or roll it softly to avoid scaring it. As the squirrel approaches and eats the food, toss a bit more in the space between you and the squirrel. When it’s within arm’s length, slowly extend your hand and offer the food to it. Keep your hand flat and let it take its time while it eats. It may be helpful to save some of the sweeter and strong-smelling treats, like apples and grapes, until the squirrel is closer to you. It can take a few weeks or even month to get the squirrel to trust you completely. Don’t get discouraged! Once the squirrel does approach you, it’ll be more likely to do it again. Try luring it into your lap or onto your arm to eat as you pet it. Keep in mind that squirrels are wild animals and don’t make great pets, but you can befriend the ones that live in your yard.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add live rock to the tank so it takes up about 1/3 of the space. Fill the tank the rest of the way with saltwater and test it again. Cycle the water and clean the filter for 4 to 6 weeks. Check the ammonia and nitrate levels every week until they reach 0.

Answer: Purchase live rock from the aquarium supply store. Don’t set the rock against the back wall of the aquarium; rather, try and spread the live rock out across the entire tank to create multiple enclaves and overhangs. If there are other decorative pieces you want to add to your tank, now is the time to do so.  Take your time placing the live rock in your tank and try out different arrangements to see which you like best. Before you add any living creatures to the tank is the best time to move the live rock around. Don’t turn on the aquarium lights just yet. You can leave them off until you add the first fish or invertebrates to the tank. Look for live rock that has been “cured.” This means that toxic compounds have already been removed from the rock. Depending on how much live rock you added to the tank, there may still be a gap of space between the water and the top of the lid. If so, add more saltwater until it reaches the top of the tank. Test the salinity of the water and make adjustments until it returns to the 1.025 level. At this stage, it’s okay if the salt level is a little off. The tank has to cycle for several weeks before you add your first fish, so there is time to make any adjustments that need to be done. During this time, clean out the filter daily—once it is no longer dirty on a daily basis, you can slow the filter cleaning to every other day or twice a week. You can also do a water change on a weekly basis, which is where you will remove 1/2 of the water from the tank and replace it with fresh saltwater. Don’t add any fish or other creatures to the tank during this cycling phase. Most experts recommend purchasing a test kit to measure these levels. It can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks for the nitrate and ammonia in the water to start reacting and reach the appropriate level. Once the levels reach 0, you can move on to the process of adding live creatures to your tank.  Too much ammonia can kill off living creatures within hours. Nitrogen is what helps convert ammonia into a compound that won’t harm the fish. Ammonia should be undetectable by a testing kit. If it is registering, chances are the tank needs to cycle more, or perhaps the filter is clogged.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your Roku type. Plug the Roku into your TV's HDMI port. Note the HDMI port's number. Attach the Roku to a power source. Switch to the Roku's input.

Answer:
There are two main types of Roku, both of which will require your TV to have at least one HDMI port to use:   Roku Player — Resembles a box. Comes with several cables.  Roku Stick — Resembles a flash drive (memory stick). Comes with at least one power cable. All HDTVs have at least one HDMI port; the HDMI port resembles a trapezoid, and can often be found on the back of the TV (though some TVs have the HDMI port(s) on the side). Depending on your Roku type, this process will vary slightly:   Roku Player — Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the back of the Roku Player's box, then plug the other end into the HDMI port on the back or side of your TV.  Roku Stick — Plug the HDMI connector on the end of your Roku Stick into the HDMI port on the back or side of your TV. Most HDTVs have more than one HDMI port. If your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, you cannot use a Roku Stick with your TV; you may be able to buy an HDMI to Component adapter if your TV has component (e.g., red, white, and yellow) ports. On TVs which have more than one HDMI port, you'll see a number next to the port into which you plugged the Roku. This number may be written as "HDMI 1", HDMI 2", and so on. Your TV may also just have the ports labeled with individual numbers (e.g., "1", "2", etc.). Both the Roku Player and the Roku Stick require connection to a power source (e.g., an electrical outlet):   Roku Player — Plug one end of the included power cable into the back of the player box, then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.  Streaming Stick (model 3800 and down) — Plug one end of the included power cable into the back of the stick, then plug the other end into an electrical outlet. If your Roku Stick has a USB power cable and your TV has a USB port, you can instead plug the USB cable into your Roku Stick and your TV.  Streaming Stick+ (model 3810) — Plug one end of the included power cable into the side of the stick, then plug the other end into an electrical outlet. If your Roku Stick has a USB power cable and your TV has a USB port, you can instead plug the USB cable into your Roku Stick and your TV. Turn on your TV, then press the Input, Video, or Source button on the remote (or the TV) and select the HDMI slot into which the Roku Stick is inserted. This will open the Roku's setup screen, from which point you can begin setting up your Roku.
