NP-3 | Nitrogen Plastic Welder. The Nitrogen Plastic Welder uses hot nitrogen gas to restructure common plastic components in automotive repair â from cracked bumper cover surfaces to hinged tabs. Nitrogen is used as a shielding gas to prevent the plastic from burning during the weld process â producing a strong, lasting weld.
Plant the Shasta daisies in commercial potting soil or a soil mixture made up of 2 parts loam, 2 part peat, 1 part compost and 1 part perlite. Stir in a half-measure of 14-14-14 ratio fertilizer to provide a nutritional boost.
Strawflowers and Paper Daisies are generally considered to be annual plants, but are actually short lived perennials in USDA zones 10-11. Strawflowers are native to the Australian Outback where they grow to a height of 2-3 feet with a 24 inch spread. Strawflowers need moist, but well drained soil. They should be grown in full sun or partial shade and fed monthly with a low phosphorus fertilizer (low second analysis number). Strawflowers are great for cut or dried flowers (pinch off the side shoots to encourage larger blooms).
