Appreciation. When the U.S. dollar appreciates, it gains value against other currencies. Say $1 goes from being the equivalent of 0.8 euros to 0.85 euros. Now 1 euro is worth a little less than $1.18. To buy that French-made 500-euro item, you now need about $588.
Astana is located in central Kazakhstan on the Ishim River in a very flat, semi-desert steppe region which covers most of the country's territory. The elevation of Astana is at 347 metres (1,138 ft) above sea level. Astana is in a spacious steppe landscape, in the transient area between the north of Kazakhstan and the extremely thinly settled national center, because of the river Ishim.
Many of the lantanas need very little pruning each year to keep them looking nice. If your plants are growing well but getting to large for the garden they can be cut back. The best time to cut your lantana back is in early spring as new growth is starting to emerge. Pruning in the fall can cause the death of lantana as this makes the plant less resistant to winter cold weather. Rain entering stems can cause rotting and other diseases when cut back in the cooler wet season. The plants can be cut back to 12 inches of the ground along with cutting out any damaged or death growth.
