The holidays are over and you are wondering what to do with those gift plants. If you received a poinsettia, you may want to plant it in your yard this spring. It can remain indoors near a sunny window, for you to enjoy, or you can put it out on a patio. Remember to keep it watered and fertilized until ready to plant. If you put your poinsettia outdoors and cold weather is forecast, bring it into the house or a sheltered area for protection.
Plants absorb noise.
If you want to reduce those nerve-shattering sounds around you, add more plants to your landscape. January is an excellent month to do some planting. The weather is nice and working outdoors is good for your health. Check with your local garden center or nursery on hardy plants for use in the home landscape. Nasturtiums are wonderful winter annuals whose flowers add color to the landscape.
