INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can grow new cacti from a pup that shoots off of a healthy mother plant. Choose a pup that’s plump, unblemished, and healthy. Gently cut or break off an entire pup from the plant. You can also buy cacti at local nurseries, home stores, and garden centers. Transfer the cutting to a sunny windowsill. Lay the cutting down flat and leave it for about two days. This will give the wound time to form a callous. If you don’t let the wound heal before planting, the cutting will likely rot. The most important thing to remember when choosing a pot for a cactus is drainage. Find a pot with drainage holes in the bottom that will allow excess water to drain out. Cacti also do well in smaller pots, so choose a pot that’s about twice the size of the plant. You can use clay or plastic pots for cacti. Plastic pots are lighter and cheaper, but heavier clay pots are better for large or top-heavy plants. Cacti need soil that drains very quickly, so choose a medium that’s specific for these types of plants. For even better drainage, mix two parts of the cactus potting soil with one part lava rock pebbles or pearlite. Cacti that sit in wet soil are prone to fungal and bacterial growth. Place the stem or leaf cutting callous-down in the potting soil. Push the cutting in just deep enough so that it will stand up on its own. Use your hands to gently firm the soil around the cutting to stabilize it. Moisten the soil to provide the cactus with extra water, but don’t soak the soil. Until roots and new growth start to form, only mist the cutting lightly when the soil feels dry. Otherwise, the cutting may rot. Transfer the cutting to a windowsill or other area that gets lots of bright but indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can damage a new cutting. Leave the cutting in this location for a month or two, until new growth starts to appear.

SUMMARY: Take a cutting from a healthy cactus. Let the wound heal. Select a pot for the cactus. Fill the pot with a cactus-specific potting soil. Plant the cutting in the soil. Mist the soil. Keep the cutting in a bright location.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Remove your potatoes from the freezer. Place them in their airtight container directly into your refrigerator. Let them sit for 1-2 days before cooking them. This gives them time to defrost. If you only want to defrost a small amount of potatoes, remove them from the airtight container and place them in a separate airtight container for defrosting. Put the potatoes into a pot over medium-high heat. Stir the potatoes occasionally as they cook. Then, add additional ingredients or garnishes, as desired.  You can also heat the potatoes in a covered dish in the oven at 350 °F (177 °C) for about 30 minutes. To cook them in a microwave, heat them at half power for about 5 minutes. Check them, then heat on high in 30 second intervals until they’re warm. Spread the frozen fries out on your greased baking sheet. Then, put them into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip them about halfway through baking.  Eat the fries while they’re warm. Cooked fries only need to heat for about 5-15 minutes. Check them often to make sure they don’t burn.
Summary: Thaw raw or prepared potatoes for 1-2 days in your refrigerator, if you have time. Heat prepared mashed potatoes over medium-high heat until warm. Bake frozen french fries at 450 °F (232 °C) for 20-25 minutes.

Stand up as straight as you can and make sure that your feet are flat on the ground. Position your heels against the wall so that your back lightly touches the wall. Check that your shoulders aren't hunched forward or pulled back and that they are resting comfortably. Make sure you feel comfortable in your position, as it's important to stand still while you're being measured. Lift your arms up to create a straight line from your shoulders to your elbows and aim to get both of your arms at a right angle to your body. Make sure that your arms are parallel with the floor and that your shoulders feel loose and relaxed.  It can be helpful to get your friend to check for you if your arms are parallel to the floor, as this is difficult to do without seeing. Alternatively, stand in front of a mirror while you are measuring your reach so that you can check your posture. Turn the backs of your hands so they face outward. Look to each side and check that you can see a straight line connecting your middle fingers and your elbows. Make any necessary adjustments to your position if you need to. Overall, your shoulders, elbows, and middle fingers need to line up in a straight line. Keep your back and arms straight, and your elbows aligned. Stretch outward along the wall starting with your shoulders and then with your elbows. Try to stretch your arms as wide as possible so that you get the best measurement of your reach. Get your friend to take a step back and check that your arms are straight again, as otherwise, this could skew your measurement.
