PHILODENDRON; MILDEW;
MARKINGS ON SACKS?
Thanks to J. p. L., ArIingtonD
I offer the following suggestions
to Mrs. A. r. W., Yorktown Village,
Md, concerning her recent request
about philodendron which is be-
coming limp:
If the plant is potted, remove
and put in water. Never change
the water, just keep adding more
water. Occasionally I immerse the
branches in pan of water in order
to remove the dust from the leaves.
I revived mine last fall by taking
the plants out of soil and they are
now green and have ceased long
since to lose leaves. Philodendron
should be kept in clear glass, not
pottery dishes.
Has any one had real good luck
removing mildew from a shower
curtain, and, If so, how? Mine Is
of Du Pont manufacture and has a
design on it. Also, can any reader
tell me how to remove the markings
on flour sacks put on by miller? /
will appreciate suggestions.
