Worthwhile Tips
On House Plants

1T IS NO TRICK to grow ivy in
water if you put teaspoon of
liquid plant food to each part of
water used and forget them. They
will grow and do well. All you
need to do is to renew the solution
occasionally.
1t is wise to have care where
you place your plants because they
are susceptible to drafts, sudden
changes of temperature and gas
fumes.
You will find that the plants that
need little light are philodendron,
English ivy, Chinese evergreen, and
aspidistra. Those that need some
sunlight are African violets, be-
gonias, gloxinias. Those that need
lots of sun are most of the bloom
ing plants such as germanium and
cacti.
Don't repot plant unless it is
absolutely necessary, such as when
the roots are growing out of the
pot, or when the plant is over
crowded. The best time to repot a
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-04-01

plant is in the spring when the
tree leaves are beginning to unfold,
or in the early fall.
If the soil of a house plant be-
comes infected with worms, little
lime water will kill the worms and
also sweeten the soil.
If house plants look bit peeked
and spindly give them an occasional
feeding of bone meal, digging it
into the dirt in the flower pot.
If plant freezes, don't throw it
away. 1t still has fighting chance
for life if you thaw it out gradually.
Instead of moving it directly to a
warm spot, put it in a cool room
where the temperature is just above
the freezing point, then move it
later to warm room.
Don't trouble your neighbors to
water your house plants while
you're away. 1t really won't be nee
essary at all if you sew old cotton
strips into ribbon about an inch
wide and an eighth of an inch thick.
You can do this quickly by folding
the material and stitching it to-
gether on the sewing machine. Then
just before you leave put one end
of the ribbon into a basin of water,
bury the other end in the earth of
the flower pot.
Hairy-leaved plants like African
violets, begonias and gloxinias,
shouldn't have their leaves sprayed
with water.
An ordinary glass refrigerator
dish one-third filled with damp
sand makes miniature dollhouse
in which leaf cuttings of African
violets grow roots rapidly.-Blanche
