Only self-fruitful plants can produce well without a compatible variety. To clean mealybugs off house plants, place the plants in a bath tub and wash bugs by directing a spray of water at them forcibly. Now is a good time to add winter color to your landscape with a few pansies. Remember that pansies are durable once they have been planted correctly. Amend the beds well with good top soil or compost.
Pansies perform best on raised beds as they suffer in wet feet situations.
Most landscapers provide pansies with a slow release fertilizer to keep them well fed throughout the season. If you are trying to re-bloom Christmas plants such as Christmas cactus or poinsettia, now is the time to place plants in complete darkness for approximately 15 hours every night until the holidays begin.
