Restoring an Unkempt Nephthytis (with Meghan)
Channel: The Indoor Garden TV Show
Date: 2014-05-19

This is a clip from "The Indoor Garden" TV series, Episode #10 entitled, "Success". It was videotaped in 1992.  In this episode we showed segments from previous shows that had plants in need. The second half of the segment shows the result of how well they were doing many months later. 

A note from Liz: I've always enjoyed teaching interested children about plants.  Meghan has brought one from home for me to help her out with. Restoring a scraggly-looking plant is rewarding.   

One correction:  At the end of this short, I recommend cutting back your vining plants about every 2 months which is a good idea.  It should be done selectively with several vines but it's not necessary to prune the whole plant at once.

The Nephthytis is often pronounced as nep-thigh-tis and and its sometimes misspelled, even by me, in our graphics on the show.  The correct spelling is Nephthytis!
