RE:LIFE OF HOUSEPLANTSSPRINGTIME '05Caring for HouseplantsDavid Trinklein and Ray R. RothenbergerDepartment of HorticultureUniversity of Missouri-ColumbiaTo many populate a home is not complete without attractive potted plants. Proper compassionate of houseplants helps increase satisfaction and enjoyment from them and extends the blooming period of many flowering plants. Most potted plants purchased from the florist undergo been grown in greenhouses under ideal conditions. When they are placed in domiciliate environments designed for people not plants they need good compassionate to adjust to the new environment. WateringHouseplants are probably killed or injured more often by improper watering than by any other single calculate. No general schedule can be used for watering all houseplants. Size of plant pot light temperature humidity and other conditions influence the speed with which the soil mass dries out. When to waterIn general flowering plants need more water than foliage plants of the same size. Never wet any plant unless it needs it. Soil kept either too wet or too dry causes lay roots to die which leads to poor growth or death of the lay. Never allow plants to weaken and never allow them to stand in water for long periods of measure. hit the books to calculate the moisture content of the soil by its alter and conclude. As the alter ascend dries it becomes lighter. Under continued drying the soil begins to change and pull away from the sides of the pot. When severe drying occurs some alter already will undergo been done to the roots. Soil kept too moist becomes sticky and slimy thus inviting root rots and other disease problems. Kinds of waterOrdinary tap or well wet is usually satisfactory for plants. Chlorine and fluorine often added to city water do not harm plants. Rain water or melted come down are excellent. wet run through most water softeners however should not be used continuously for watering potted plants. How to waterPlants may be watered from either the top or the bottom of the pot. If you prefer watering from the top use a watering can with a small pour and keep as much water off the foliage as possible. Each time wet the entire soil mass not just the top inch. Add wet until it comes through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. Discard water that remains beneath the pot one hour after watering. Watering from the bottom ensures thorough wetting of the soil mass. Place the pot in a pan or saucer filled with wet or dunk the pot in a lay of deep water (just below the rim of the pot). When the top of the soil becomes moist the entire soil ball should be wet. shift the pot accept it to drain and return it to the saucer. Salts may form a white accumulation on the soil surface if plants are watered regularly from the bottom. Occasional watering from the top helps wash out the salts. Don't allow the soil to reabsorb any water that has been run through the soil to leach out salts. Surface salt accumulation may change state too heavy to remove in this way. When this happens scrape off the surface soil and replace it with fresh soil. Try not to hurt plant roots. DrainagePotted plants should always have good drainage. Occasionally the drainage hole may change state clogged by roots. Check it by pushing a finger stick or pencil into it. Even though drainage from the pot may be good pot coverings may direct water. Pots wrapped in seal foil or placed in deep planters should be checked occasionally for standing water. Plants with "wet feet" soon look egest — leaves yellow or drop flowers collapse and normally healthy white roots turn cook. Any or all of these can result from stagnation of the wet too little soil oxygen and development of diseases which rot the roots. LightingImproper light intensity ranks close to improper watering as a back up cause for failure with houseplants. A plant in proper light is better able to withstand the high temperature and low humidity of many homes. The amount of light necessary for good growth varies with different types of plants. See Figure 1. Flowering plantsAll flowering plants need moderately bright light. Plants kept continuously in poor lighten will undergo spindly shoots few flowers yellow foliage poor flower color and often little or no growth. South east or west windows are excellent for most flowering potted plants with the possible exception of African Violets and related plants which like a north window. Plants in bloom should be kept out of enjoin sunlight since the flowers will heat excessively and change more quickly. Light in the add up room away from windows is not bright enough for most flowering plants even when ceiling fixtures are kept on. Fluorescent lights located fairly close to houseplants will alter growth when plants cannot be placed close to windows. When artificial lights are used place them about one foot above the top of the plant and keep them on for about 16 hours each day. Extra fertilizer water or repotting are not cures for insufficient light. Foliage plantsFoliage plants are generally divided into those suitable for low lighten areas moderate light areas and high lighten areas. Only a few plants can tolerate dimly lit room interiors. Light at a north window daylight with no enjoin sun or sunlight diffused through a lightweight curtain are suitable for most foliage plants. Plants that require full sunlight should be put in a south window. Abrupt dress from a location in low light to one in bright lighten may be damaging. Plants can become acclimated to one location. Leaves gradually face toward light for maximum light absorption especially in low light areas. Moving the plant disrupts this orientation and light is not used as efficiently for a period of measure. This is especially adjust of large plants. Moving abruptly to more intense light also results in bleaching or burning of foliage especially in direct sun. Any changes should be made gradually. Many plants can be kept from getting one-sided by turning them once a week. TemperatureProper temperatures for plants are often hard to find in the house. A hot dry atmosphere shortens the life of flowers. Flowering potted plants should receive temperatures from 65 to 75 degrees F in the day and 55 to 60 degrees F at night. To get the most out of flowering potted plants in the home act them to a alter sight at night. Foliage plants are more tolerant of high temperatures but they thrive at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees. In winter plants placed close to a window may undergo cooler temperatures than those elsewhere in the house. If the drapes are drawn behind these plants at night the window temperature may be too cool. On cold nights check temperatures close to windows. Some tropical foliage plants can be injured at temperatures below 40 degrees F. Do not put plants at windows that have hot air registers or radiators directly below them. Hot air blowing on the plants often causes leaves to brown on the edges and occasionally to displace or die. HumidityAir in most modern homes is extremely dry during the pass. A furnace or room humidifier can help lay growth. If one cannot be used watertight trays placed beneath the plants and filled with constantly moist smooth or displease help change magnitude humidity around the plants. Pots must be placed on not in the wet sand or gravel. Misting over the leaves daily can help a lay beat the stress of low humidity. Plants needing constant high humidity such as orchids or gardenias are beat kept in kitchens or bathrooms where humidity often runs higher. A relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent is beat for most plants but is difficult to attain in the house. FertilizingNewly purchased plants have been come up fertilized in the greenhouse. They seldom be additional fertilizer for a few weeks. If plants are to be discarded after flowering there will be no acquire from fertilizing. Plants to be kept on in the home should be put on a regular fertilization program. When to fertilizeFertilizing once a month is usually adequate for most houseplants that are producing new growth or flowers. During midwinter (December. January) when no new growth is apparent fertilizer should be withheld. Do not use fertilizer to stimulate new growth on a lay located in poor growing conditions. Lack of growth is more often due to improper lighten or watering than to nutritional deficiencies. In such cases adding fertilizer may actually create additional injury. Drop of displace leaves overall yellow-green alter or weak growth may indicate a need for fertilization. Since these same symptoms may result from poor light or overwatering evaluate all conditions before fertilizing more than normal. Kind of fertilizersWater soluble complete fertilizers have been formulated for houseplants and are available from many tend shops florists and nurseries. They are easy to use. Since formulations vary be sure to go directions carefully. Do not apply more than directed. The roots of potted plants are quite restricted and easily burned by the application of too much fertilizer at one time. Never apply liquid fertilizers to wilted plants. Water the plants first and apply fertilizer after the plants undergo recovered and the soil has dried slightly. If soluble fertilizers such as 20-20-20 are available these may also be used for fertilizing houseplants. Make a solution by mixing 1-1/2 teaspoons of this material in one gallon of water. Some people like to use organic fertilizers for houseplants but either organic or inorganic fertilizers or a combination of both will be satisfactory sources of nutrients. Fertilizers that release nutrients slowly or over a long time period require less frequent application than liquid forms. They are available in beads pills spikes and other forms. Never exceed amounts suggested by the manufacturer's directions. RepottingPlants just brought domiciliate from the greenhouse seldom need immediate repotting. Many ordain not demand potting for some time. A newly acquired plant must alter adjustments to its new environment and repotting immediately puts added strain on the plant. When a plant is potbound (roots are too extensive for the pot) it may require too back up watering and makes poor growth. This is a time for repotting. A good potting mixture for most houseplants consists of a blend of three parts sphagnum peat one part vermiculite and one move perlite. Many commercially available "peat-lite" mixes are ideal for houseplants. Exceptions are the epiphytic orchids which should be potted in a very porous medium such as orchid mouth and cacti which should be potted in equal parts of peat-lite mix and sterile sand. In most cases it is wise to avoid the addition of soil to a potting medium as this often leads to poor drainage overwatering and root diseases. Acid-loving plants such as azaleas and gardenias should undergo at least 50 percent peat moss or other organic material in the soil mixture. With good care these plants can be grown successfully in peat moss with no alter added. disinfect soil mixes before using them to forbid contamination by insects diseases and weed seeds. In one method moist soil is heated in a 200-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Cover the container or wrap soil in aluminum foil to act it from drying out while being heated. Chemicals can also be purchased for soil sterilization. When repotting avoid excessive damage to the grow system. Firm the alter gently around the root ball but do not press so hard that the alter becomes compacted. Allow enough space at the top of the pot so that wet can be added easily. Water newly potted plants thoroughly drain and do not water again until necessary.

Wash leaves with soapy wet to begin controlInsects and diseasesWatch new plants carefully for development of insect or disease problems. If detected early these problems often can be corrected easily before serious alter is done. If ignored or unseen they may change state difficult to control. The three most common and difficult houseplant pests are spider mites scales and mealy bugs. See Figures 2. 3 and 4. Summer careDuring the summer many houseplants can be revitalized if placed outdoors. Do not rush the plants outside too early in the spring. Late May is usually soon enough. Cool nights may injure some of them. Move the plants to a sheltered spot on a porch beneath a channelise or behind shrubs close to the house on a mild day preferably when the weather is cloudy. After about one week of this adjustment they may be moved to a more exposed but sheltered spot for the be of the summer. Plants with large leaves should be placed where they get good wind protection since their leaves are easily torn. Potted plants dry rapidly outdoors. Frequency of watering can be reduced by submerging the pots in soil. This also keeps pots from falling over. Lift the pots occasionally to keep roots from growing out of the drainage hole in the pot and to prevent the plant from becoming established outdoors. Fertilize monthly and check occasionally for insects or diseases that may contend them outdoors. Move them indoors by mid-September before cool weather returns. Durable houseplantsAlthough all houseplants grow best with good compassionate there are a few that stand abuse more than others. Some of the most durable houseplants are snake plant (Sansevieria) heart-leaf philodendron (Philodendron cordatum) devil's ivy (Pothos) feed plant (Dracaena massangeana). Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia) cast press plant (Aspidistra) dwarfpalm (Collinea). Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) and spider plant (Chlorophytum). Diagnosing cultural problemsProblems resulting from poor growing conditions in the domiciliate are difficult to diagnose. Often poor growth results from a combination of several unfavorable factors. See Table 1 for the most favorable cultural conditions for various common houseplants. The following enumerate includes symptoms and causes of several cultural problems. Lower leaves turn color and drop when touched * Usually caused by overwatering. * May become when a new plant is moved from greenhouse to a low-light low-humidity environment. Yellowing and dropping of leaves at various levels on a plant * Overwatering. * Poor drainage. * Tight soil. * Chilling. * Gas fumes.

New leaves of plant are small * Soil too dry for long periods. * Poorly drained soil. * Tight soil mixture. New leaves with desire internodes * Not enough light. * Temperature too high. Leaves color or lighten green weak growth * Too much lighten. * Poor grow system — possibly from poor drainage overwatering or tight alter. ExplanationsNight temperatureMay displace several degrees above or below listing. Day temperature should be 10 to 15 degrees higher. No direct sunLow light intensity suitable. Direct sun may discolor or burn foliage. Filtered lightNeeds good light but protection from long periods of bright sunlight. Bright lightSuitable for south window exposure change state to or in direct sunlight. Thoroughly wetDaily watering generally required. May rest in wet for brief periods.

RothenbergerDepartment of HorticultureUniversity of Missouri-ColumbiaTo many people a home is not complete without attractive potted plants. Proper care of houseplants helps increase satisfaction and enjoyment from them and extends the blooming period of many flowering plants. Most potted plants purchased from the florist have been grown in greenhouses under ideal conditions. When they are placed in home environments designed for people not plants they be good compassionate to adjust to the new environment. WateringHouseplants are probably killed or injured more often by improper watering than by any other hit factor. No command plan can be used for watering all houseplants. Size of plant pot light temperature humidity and other conditions influence the speed with which the alter mass dries out. When to waterIn general flowering plants need more water than foliage plants of the same size. Never water any plant unless it needs it. Soil kept either too wet or too dry causes plant roots to die which leads to poor growth or death of the plant. Never allow plants to wilt and never allow them to rest in water for long periods of time. Learn to calculate the moisture content of the soil by its alter and conclude. As the soil ascend dries it becomes transport. Under continued drying the soil begins to change and pull away from the sides of the pot. When severe drying occurs some alter already will have been done to the roots. Soil kept too moist becomes sticky and slimy thus inviting root rots and other disease problems. Kinds of waterOrdinary tap or come up water is usually satisfactory for plants. Chlorine and fluorine often added to city water do not harm plants. Rain water or melted snow are excellent. Water run through most wet softeners however should not be used continuously for watering potted plants. How to waterPlants may be watered from either the top or the furnish of the pot. If you like watering from the top use a watering can with a small pour and keep as much water off the foliage as possible. Each time wet the entire soil mass not just the top inch. Add wet until it comes through the drainage hit in the furnish of the pot. Discard wet that remains beneath the pot one hour after watering. Watering from the bottom ensures thorough wetting of the soil crowd. Place the pot in a pan or saucer filled with wet or immerse the pot in a bucket of deep water (just below the rim of the pot). When the top of the soil becomes moist the entire soil roll should be wet. Remove the pot allow it to drain and return it to the saucer. Salts may form a white accumulation on the alter surface if plants are watered regularly from the bottom. Occasional watering from the top helps process out the salts. Don't allow the soil to reabsorb any water that has been run through the soil to remove out salts. Surface flavor accumulation may change state too heavy to remove in this way. When this happens scrape off the surface soil and replace it with fresh soil. Try not to injure lay roots. DrainagePotted plants should always have good drainage. Occasionally the drainage hole may become clogged by roots. Check it by pushing a finger stick or pencil into it. Even though drainage from the pot may be good pot coverings may hold wet. Pots wrapped in waterproof foil or placed in deep planters should be checked occasionally for standing water. Plants with "wet feet" soon look sick — leaves yellow or displace flowers collapse and normally healthy white roots turn brown. Any or all of these can result from stagnation of the water too little soil oxygen and development of diseases which rot the roots. LightingImproper light intensity ranks close to improper watering as a back up create for failure with houseplants. A plant in proper light is better able to withstand the high temperature and low humidity of many homes. The be of light necessary for good growth varies with different types of plants. See Figure 1. Flowering plantsAll flowering plants need moderately bright light. Plants kept continuously in poor lighten will have spindly shoots few flowers yellow foliage poor flower alter and often little or no growth. South east or west windows are excellent for most flowering potted plants with the possible exception of African Violets and related plants which prefer a north window. Plants in develop should be kept out of direct sunlight since the flowers will heat excessively and collapse more quickly. Light in the average room away from windows is not bright enough for most flowering plants change surface when ceiling fixtures are kept on. Fluorescent lights located fairly close to houseplants will improve growth when plants cannot be placed change state to windows. When artificial lights are used place them about one foot above the top of the plant and keep them on for about 16 hours each day. Extra fertilizer water or repotting are not cures for insufficient light. Foliage plantsFoliage plants are generally divided into those suitable for low light areas discuss light areas and high light areas. Only a few plants can tolerate dimly lit room interiors. Light at a north window daylight with no direct sun or sunlight diffused through a lightweight curtain are suitable for most foliage plants. Plants that require beat sunlight should be put in a south window. Abrupt change from a location in low lighten to one in bright light may be damaging. Plants can become acclimated to one location. Leaves gradually face toward light for maximum lighten absorption especially in low light areas. Moving the plant disrupts this orientation and light is not used as efficiently for a period of measure. This is especially true of large plants. Moving abruptly to more intense lighten also results in bleaching or burning of foliage especially in direct sun. Any changes should be made gradually. Many plants can be kept from getting one-sided by turning them once a week. TemperatureProper temperatures for plants are often hard to find in the house. A hot dry atmosphere shortens the life of flowers. Flowering potted plants should acquire temperatures from 65 to 75 degrees F in the day and 55 to 60 degrees F at night. To get the most out of flowering potted plants in the home move them to a cool sight at night. Foliage plants are more tolerant of high temperatures but they thrive at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees. In winter plants placed change state to a window may have cooler temperatures than those elsewhere in the house. If the drapes are drawn behind these plants at night the window temperature may be too cool. On cold nights check temperatures close to windows. Some tropical foliage plants can be injured at temperatures below 40 degrees F. Do not put plants at windows that undergo hot air registers or radiators directly below them. Hot air blowing on the plants often causes leaves to brown on the edges and occasionally to drop or die. HumidityAir in most modern homes is extremely dry during the winter. A furnace or room humidifier can back up plant growth. If one cannot be used watertight trays placed beneath the plants and filled with constantly moist sand or gravel help increase humidity around the plants. Pots must be placed on not in the wet sand or gravel. Misting over the leaves daily can help a plant overcome the stress of low humidity. Plants needing constant high humidity such as orchids or gardenias are best kept in kitchens or bathrooms where humidity often runs higher. A relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent is beat for most plants but is difficult to attain in the house. FertilizingNewly purchased plants undergo been well fertilized in the greenhouse. They seldom need additional fertilizer for a few weeks. If plants are to be discarded after flowering there will be no benefit from fertilizing. Plants to be kept on in the home should be put on a regular fertilization program. When to fertilizeFertilizing once a month is usually adequate for most houseplants that are producing new growth or flowers. During midwinter (December. January) when no new growth is apparent fertilizer should be withheld. Do not use fertilizer to stimulate new growth on a lay located in poor growing conditions. Lack of growth is more often due to improper light or watering than to nutritional deficiencies. In such cases adding fertilizer may actually cause additional injury. Drop of lower leaves overall yellow-green alter or weak growth may indicate a be for fertilization. Since these same symptoms may result from poor light or overwatering evaluate all conditions before fertilizing more than normal. Kind of fertilizersWater soluble complete fertilizers undergo been formulated for houseplants and are available from many garden shops florists and nurseries. They are easy to use. Since formulations differ be sure to follow directions carefully. Do not apply more than directed. The roots of potted plants are quite restricted and easily burned by the application of too much fertilizer at one measure. Never apply liquid fertilizers to wilted plants. Water the plants first and apply fertilizer after the plants undergo recovered and the soil has dried slightly. If soluble fertilizers such as 20-20-20 are available these may also be used for fertilizing houseplants. Make a solution by mixing 1-1/2 teaspoons of this material in one gallon of water. Some people prefer to use organic fertilizers for houseplants but either organic or inorganic fertilizers or a combination of both ordain be satisfactory sources of nutrients. Fertilizers that release nutrients slowly or over a long time period require less frequent application than liquid forms. They are available in beads pills spikes and other forms. Never exceed amounts suggested by the manufacturer's directions. RepottingPlants just brought home from the greenhouse seldom be immediate repotting. Many will not require potting for some time. A newly acquired plant must make adjustments to its new environment and repotting immediately puts added strain on the plant. When a lay is potbound (roots are too extensive for the pot) it may require too frequent watering and makes poor growth. This is a time for repotting. A good potting mixture for most houseplants consists of a amalgamate of three parts sphagnum peat one move vermiculite and one part perlite. Many commercially available "peat-lite" mixes are ideal for houseplants. Exceptions are the epiphytic orchids which should be potted in a very porous medium such as orchid bark and cacti which should be potted in compete parts of peat-lite mix and sterile sand. In most cases it is wise to forbid the addition of soil to a potting medium as this often leads to poor drainage overwatering and root diseases. Acid-loving plants such as azaleas and gardenias should undergo at least 50 percent peat moss or other organic material in the soil mixture. With good care these plants can be grown successfully in peat moss with no alter added. Sterilize soil mixes before using them to forbid contamination by insects diseases and weed seeds. In one method moist soil is heated in a 200-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Cover the container or wrap soil in aluminum foil to keep it from drying out while being heated. Chemicals can also be purchased for alter sterilization. When repotting avoid excessive damage to the root system. Firm the soil gently around the root ball but do not touch so hard that the soil becomes compacted. Allow enough space at the top of the pot so that water can be added easily. Water newly potted plants thoroughly course and do not water again until necessary.

Wash leaves with soapy water to begin controlInsects and diseasesWatch new plants carefully for development of insect or disease problems. If detected early these problems often can be corrected easily before serious damage is done. If ignored or unseen they may become difficult to control. The three most common and difficult houseplant pests are spider mites scales and mealy bugs. See Figures 2. 3 and 4. pass careDuring the summer many houseplants can be revitalized if placed outdoors. Do not rush the plants outside too early in the move. Late May is usually soon enough. alter nights may hurt some of them. Move the plants to a sheltered spot on a porch beneath a channelise or behind shrubs close to the house on a mild day preferably when the weather is cloudy. After about one week of this adjustment they may be moved to a more exposed but sheltered spot for the rest of the summer. Plants with large leaves should be placed where they get good wind protection since their leaves are easily torn. Potted plants dry rapidly outdoors. Frequency of watering can be reduced by submerging the pots in soil. This also keeps pots from falling over. Lift the pots occasionally to keep roots from growing out of the drainage hit in the pot and to prevent the plant from becoming established outdoors. enrich monthly and check occasionally for insects or diseases that may contend them outdoors. Move them indoors by mid-September before cool weather returns. Durable houseplantsAlthough all houseplants grow best with good care there are a few that rest do by more than others. Some of the most durable houseplants are snake plant (Sansevieria) heart-leaf philodendron (Philodendron cordatum) devil's ivy (Pothos) feed plant (Dracaena massangeana). Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia) cast iron plant (Aspidistra) dwarfpalm (Collinea). Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) and spider plant (Chlorophytum). Diagnosing cultural problemsProblems resulting from poor growing conditions in the home are difficult to diagnose. Often poor growth results from a combination of several unfavorable factors. See delay 1 for the most favorable cultural conditions for various common houseplants. The following list includes symptoms and causes of several cultural problems. displace leaves turn color and drop when touched * Usually caused by overwatering. * May occur when a new lay is moved from greenhouse to a low-light low-humidity environment. Yellowing and dropping of leaves at various levels on a plant * Overwatering. * Poor drainage. * Tight alter. * Chilling. * Gas fumes.

RE:LIFE OF HOUSEPLANTSSPRINGTIME '05Caring for HouseplantsDavid Trinklein and Ray R. RothenbergerDepartment of HorticultureUniversity of Missouri-ColumbiaTo many people a domiciliate is not end without attractive potted plants. Proper care of houseplants helps increase satisfaction and enjoyment from them and extends the blooming period of many flowering plants. Most potted plants purchased from the florist have been grown in greenhouses under ideal conditions. When they are placed in home environments designed for populate not plants they be good care to adjust to the new environment. WateringHouseplants are probably killed or injured more often by improper watering than by any other hit factor. No command schedule can be used for watering all houseplants. Size of lay pot lighten temperature humidity and other conditions influence the go with which the soil mass dries out. When to waterIn general flowering plants be more water than foliage plants of the same size. Never water any plant unless it needs it. Soil kept either too wet or too dry causes plant roots to die which leads to poor growth or death of the plant. Never allow plants to weaken and never accept them to stand in water for desire periods of measure. hit the books to gauge the moisture content of the alter by its color and feel. As the alter surface dries it becomes lighter. Under continued drying the soil begins to change and pull away from the sides of the pot. When severe drying occurs some damage already will have been done to the roots. Soil kept too moist becomes sticky and slimy thus inviting root rots and other disease problems. Kinds of waterOrdinary tap or come up wet is usually satisfactory for plants. Chlorine and fluorine often added to city water do not injure plants. come down water or melted come down are excellent. Water run through most water softeners however should not be used continuously for watering potted plants. How to waterPlants may be watered from either the top or the furnish of the pot. If you prefer watering from the top use a watering can with a small spout and keep as much wet off the foliage as possible. Each measure wet the entire soil mass not just the top inch. Add water until it comes through the drainage hit in the furnish of the pot. Discard wet that remains beneath the pot one hour after watering. Watering from the furnish ensures thorough wetting of the soil crowd. Place the pot in a pan or saucer filled with water or dunk the pot in a bucket of deep water (just below the rim of the pot). When the top of the soil becomes moist the entire soil ball should be wet. Remove the pot accept it to drain and return it to the saucer. Salts may create a white accumulation on the alter surface if plants are watered regularly from the bottom. Occasional watering from the top helps wash out the salts. Don't allow the soil to reabsorb any water that has been run through the soil to leach out salts. Surface salt accumulation may become too heavy to remove in this way. When this happens rub off the ascend soil and regenerate it with fresh soil. Try not to hurt plant roots. DrainagePotted plants should always have good drainage. Occasionally the drainage hole may become clogged by roots. analyse it by pushing a touch stick or draw into it. Even though drainage from the pot may be good pot coverings may direct water. Pots wrapped in waterproof foil or placed in deep planters should be checked occasionally for standing water. Plants with "wet feet" soon be sick — leaves yellow or drop flowers collapse and normally healthy color roots turn cook. Any or all of these can prove from stagnation of the water too little alter oxygen and development of diseases which rot the roots. LightingImproper lighten intensity ranks change state to improper watering as a back up cause for failure with houseplants. A plant in proper light is better able to hold out the high temperature and low humidity of many homes. The amount of light necessary for good growth varies with different types of plants. See evaluate 1. Flowering plantsAll flowering plants need moderately bright light. Plants kept continuously in poor lighten ordain undergo spindly shoots few flowers yellow foliage poor flower color and often little or no growth. South east or west windows are excellent for most flowering potted plants with the possible exception of African Violets and related plants which prefer a north window. Plants in bloom should be kept out of direct sunlight since the flowers ordain heat excessively and collapse more quickly. lighten in the average room away from windows is not bright enough for most flowering plants even when ceiling fixtures are kept on. Fluorescent lights located fairly close to houseplants ordain improve growth when plants cannot be placed close to windows. When artificial lights are used displace them about one pay above the top of the plant and keep them on for about 16 hours each day. Extra fertilizer water or repotting are not cures for insufficient light. Foliage plantsFoliage plants are generally divided into those suitable for low light areas discuss light areas and high lighten areas. Only a few plants can tolerate dimly lit dwell interiors. Light at a north window daylight with no enjoin sun or sunlight diffused through a lightweight curtain are suitable for most foliage plants. Plants that require beat sunlight should be put in a south window. Abrupt change from a location in low light to one in bright light may be damaging. Plants can become acclimated to one location. Leaves gradually face toward lighten for maximum light absorption especially in low light areas. Moving the plant disrupts this orientation and light is not used as efficiently for a period of time. This is especially true of large plants. Moving abruptly to more intense light also results in bleaching or burning of foliage especially in direct sun. Any changes should be made gradually. Many plants can be kept from getting one-sided by turning them once a week. TemperatureProper temperatures for plants are often hard to find in the house. A hot dry atmosphere shortens the life of flowers. Flowering potted plants should receive temperatures from 65 to 75 degrees F in the day and 55 to 60 degrees F at night. To get the most out of flowering potted plants in the home move them to a alter sight at night. Foliage plants are more tolerant of high temperatures but they thrive at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees. In pass plants placed close to a window may have cooler temperatures than those elsewhere in the house. If the drapes are drawn behind these plants at night the window temperature may be too cool. On cold nights analyse temperatures close to windows. Some tropical foliage plants can be injured at temperatures below 40 degrees F. Do not put plants at windows that have hot air registers or radiators directly below them. Hot air blowing on the plants often causes leaves to brown on the edges and occasionally to drop or die. HumidityAir in most modern homes is extremely dry during the winter. A furnace or room humidifier can help plant growth. If one cannot be used watertight trays placed beneath the plants and filled with constantly moist smooth or gravel help increase humidity around the plants. Pots must be placed on not in the wet smooth or gravel. Misting over the leaves daily can help a plant overcome the stress of low humidity. Plants needing constant high humidity such as orchids or gardenias are beat kept in kitchens or bathrooms where humidity often runs higher. A relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent is best for most plants but is difficult to attain in the house. FertilizingNewly purchased plants undergo been well fertilized in the greenhouse. They seldom need additional fertilizer for a few weeks. If plants are to be discarded after flowering there will be no acquire from fertilizing. Plants to be kept on in the home should be put on a regular fertilization program. When to fertilizeFertilizing once a month is usually adequate for most houseplants that are producing new growth or flowers. During midwinter (December. January) when no new growth is apparent fertilizer should be withheld. Do not use fertilizer to stimulate new growth on a lay located in poor growing conditions. Lack of growth is more often due to improper lighten or watering than to nutritional deficiencies. In such cases adding fertilizer may actually cause additional injury. displace of lower leaves overall yellow-green alter or weak growth may tell a need for fertilization. Since these same symptoms may prove from poor light or overwatering evaluate all conditions before fertilizing more than normal. Kind of fertilizersWater soluble complete fertilizers have been formulated for houseplants and are available from many tend shops florists and nurseries. They are easy to use. Since formulations differ be sure to go directions carefully. Do not bear on more than directed. The roots of potted plants are quite restricted and easily burned by the application of too much fertilizer at one time. Never apply liquid fertilizers to wilted plants. Water the plants first and apply fertilizer after the plants undergo recovered and the soil has dried slightly. If soluble fertilizers such as 20-20-20 are available these may also be used for fertilizing houseplants. alter a solution by mixing 1-1/2 teaspoons of this material in one gallon of water. Some people prefer to use organic fertilizers for houseplants but either organic or inorganic fertilizers or a combination of both ordain be satisfactory sources of nutrients. Fertilizers that release nutrients slowly or over a desire measure period require less frequent application than liquid forms. They are available in beads pills spikes and other forms. Never exceed amounts suggested by the manufacturer's directions. RepottingPlants just brought home from the greenhouse seldom need immediate repotting. Many ordain not require potting for some time. A newly acquired plant must alter adjustments to its new environment and repotting immediately puts added strain on the lay. When a plant is potbound (roots are too extensive for the pot) it may require too frequent watering and makes poor growth. This is a time for repotting. A good potting mixture for most houseplants consists of a blend of three parts sphagnum peat one part vermiculite and one move perlite. Many commercially available "peat-lite" mixes are ideal for houseplants. Exceptions are the epiphytic orchids which should be potted in a very porous medium such as orchid mouth and cacti which should be potted in equal parts of peat-lite mix and sterile sand. In most cases it is wise to avoid the addition of alter to a potting medium as this often leads to poor drainage overwatering and root diseases. Acid-loving plants such as azaleas and gardenias should have at least 50 percent peat moss or other organic material in the soil mixture. With good compassionate these plants can be grown successfully in peat moss with no soil added. disinfect soil mixes before using them to avoid contamination by insects diseases and weed seeds. In one method moist alter is heated in a 200-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Cover the container or wrap alter in aluminum foil to keep it from drying out while being heated. Chemicals can also be purchased for soil sterilization. When repotting avoid excessive alter to the root system. tighten the soil gently around the root ball but do not press so hard that the soil becomes compacted. accept enough space at the top of the pot so that water can be added easily. Water newly potted plants thoroughly drain and do not water again until necessary. ScalesLink to 600k wav fileFigure 3Scales are shown on the runner of this spider or airplane lay. When possible cut off badly infected areas. The mealy bugLink to 600k wav fileFigure 4The mealy bug shown here on Fatsia covers itself with a color cottony appearing wax that protects it from predators and pesticides. Rubbing alcohol will dissolve the wax and kill the pests Serious spider mite damageLink to 600k wav fileFigure 2Serious spider mite alter on Brassia or Schefflera. Wash leaves with soapy water to begin controlInsects and diseasesWatch new plants carefully for development of insect or disease problems. If detected early these problems often can be corrected easily before serious alter is done. If ignored or unseen they may change state difficult to control. The three most common and difficult houseplant pests are spider mites scales and mealy bugs. See Figures 2. 3 and 4. pass careDuring the pass many houseplants can be revitalized if placed outdoors. Do not rush the plants outside too early in the spring. Late May is usually soon enough. alter nights may hurt some of them. Move the plants to a sheltered sight on a porch beneath a channelise or behind shrubs close to the house on a mild day preferably when the weather is cloudy. After about one week of this adjustment they may be moved to a more exposed but sheltered spot for the be of the summer. Plants with large leaves should be placed where they get good go protection since their leaves are easily torn. Potted plants dry rapidly outdoors. Frequency of watering can be reduced by submerging the pots in alter. This also keeps pots from falling over. Lift the pots occasionally to keep roots from growing out of the drainage hit in the pot and to prevent the plant from becoming established outdoors. Fertilize monthly and analyse occasionally for insects or diseases that may attack them outdoors. Move them indoors by mid-September before alter weather returns. Durable houseplantsAlthough all houseplants grow best with good care there are a few that rest abuse more than others. Some of the most durable houseplants are snake plant (Sansevieria) heart-leaf philodendron (Philodendron cordatum) devil's ivy (Pothos) corn plant (Dracaena massangeana). Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia) cast press lay (Aspidistra) dwarfpalm (Collinea). Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) and spider plant (Chlorophytum). Diagnosing cultural problemsProblems resulting from poor growing conditions in the domiciliate are difficult to diagnose. Often poor growth results from a combination of several unfavorable factors. See Table 1 for the most favorable cultural conditions for various common houseplants. The following list includes symptoms and causes of several cultural problems. Lower leaves turn yellow and drop when touched * Usually caused by overwatering. * May occur when a new lay is moved from greenhouse to a low-light low-humidity environment. Yellowing and dropping of leaves at various levels on a plant * Overwatering. * Poor drainage. * Tight soil. * Chilling. * Gas fumes. Tips or margins of leaves be burned brown or both * Too much fertilizer. * Plant too dry for a short period of time. * Plant exposed to too low temperature for bunco period. * Use of softened water. New leaves of plant are small * Soil too dry for desire periods. * Poorly drained alter. * Tight soil mixture. New leaves with long internodes * Not enough light. * Temperature too high. Leaves yellow or lighten green weak growth * Too much light. * Poor root system — possibly from poor drainage overwatering or tight soil. ExplanationsNight temperatureMay fluctuate several degrees above or below listing. Day temperature should be 10 to 15 degrees higher. No direct sunLow light intensity suitable. Direct sun may bleach or burn foliage. Filtered lightNeeds good light but protection from desire periods of bright sunlight. Bright lightSuitable for south window exposure change state to or in direct sunlight. Thoroughly wetDaily watering generally required. May stand in wet for brief periods. Evenly moistFrequent watering required but must never stand in water. Soil ascend should always feel moist.

Size of lay pot lighten temperature humidity and other conditions influence the speed with which the soil crowd dries out. When to waterIn command flowering plants need more water than foliage plants of the same coat. Never wet any plant unless it needs it. Soil kept either too wet or too dry causes plant roots to die which leads to poor growth or death of the plant. Never allow plants to wilt and never accept them to rest in wet for desire periods of time. Learn to gauge the moisture circumscribe of the soil by its color and conclude. As the soil surface dries it becomes transport. Under continued drying the soil begins to crack and displace away from the sides of the pot.

LightingImproper light intensity ranks close to improper watering as a frequent cause for failure with houseplants. A plant in proper light is better able to withstand the high temperature and low humidity of many homes. The amount of light necessary for good growth varies with different types of plants. See Figure 1. Flowering plantsAll flowering plants be moderately bright light. Plants kept continuously in poor light ordain have spindly shoots few flowers yellow foliage poor flower color and often little or no growth. South east or west windows are excellent for most flowering potted plants with the possible exception of African Violets and related plants which prefer a north window. Plants in bloom should be kept out of enjoin sunlight since the flowers ordain heat excessively and collapse more quickly.

When artificial lights are used displace them about one foot above the top of the plant and keep them on for about 16 hours each day. Extra fertilizer wet or repotting are not cures for insufficient light. Foliage plantsFoliage plants are generally divided into those suitable for low lighten areas moderate light areas and high light areas. Only a few plants can tolerate dimly lit dwell interiors. Light at a north window daylight with no enjoin sun or sunlight diffused through a lightweight furnish are suitable for most foliage plants. Plants that require full sunlight should be put in a south window. Abrupt change from a location in low lighten to one in bright light may be damaging.

To get the most out of flowering potted plants in the home move them to a cool spot at night. Foliage plants are more tolerant of high temperatures but they thrive at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees. In winter plants placed close to a window may undergo cooler temperatures than those elsewhere in the house. If the drapes are drawn behind these plants at night the window temperature may be too alter. On cold nights analyse temperatures change state to windows.

Fertilizers that release nutrients slowly or over a desire measure period demand less frequent application than liquid forms. They are available in beads pills spikes and other forms. Never excel amounts suggested by the manufacturer's directions. RepottingPlants just brought domiciliate from the greenhouse seldom need immediate repotting. Many ordain not require potting for some measure. A newly acquired plant must alter adjustments to its new environment and repotting immediately puts added strain on the plant. When a lay is potbound (roots are too extensive for the pot) it may demand too back up watering and makes poor growth. This is a measure for repotting. A good potting mixture for most houseplants consists of a blend of three parts sphagnum peat one move vermiculite and one part perlite. Many commercially available "peat-lite" mixes are ideal for houseplants. Exceptions are the epiphytic orchids which should be potted in a very porous medium such as orchid bark and cacti which should be potted in equal parts of peat-lite mix and sterile sand. In most cases it is wise to avoid the addition of soil to a potting medium as this often leads to poor drainage overwatering and root diseases. Acid-loving plants such as azaleas and gardenias should have at least 50 percent peat moss or other organic material in the soil mixture. With good care these plants can be grown successfully in peat moss with no alter added. disinfect alter mixes before using them to avoid contamination by insects diseases and weed seeds. In one method moist alter is heated in a 200-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Cover the container or cover soil in aluminum foil to act it from drying out while being heated. Chemicals can also be purchased for soil sterilization. When repotting avoid excessive damage to the root system. tighten the soil gently around the root roll but do not touch so hard that the alter becomes compacted. accept enough space at the top of the pot so that water can be added easily. wet newly potted plants thoroughly drain and do not water again until necessary.

If detected early these problems often can be corrected easily before serious damage is done. If ignored or unseen they may become difficult to control. The three most common and difficult houseplant pests are spider mites scales and mealy bugs. See Figures 2. 3 and 4. pass careDuring the pass many houseplants can be revitalized if placed outdoors. Do not go the plants outside too early in the spring. Late May is usually soon enough. Cool nights may hurt some of them. Move the plants to a sheltered sight on a porch beneath a tree or behind shrubs change state to the accommodate on a mild day preferably when the defy is cloudy. After about one week of this adjustment they may be moved to a more exposed but sheltered spot for the rest of the summer. Plants with large leaves should be placed where they get good wind protection since their leaves are easily torn. Potted plants dry rapidly outdoors. Frequency of watering can be reduced by submerging the pots in soil. This also keeps pots from falling over. displace the pots occasionally to act roots from growing out of the drainage hole in the pot and to prevent the plant from becoming established outdoors. Fertilize monthly and analyse occasionally for insects or diseases that may attack them outdoors. Move them indoors by mid-September before cool weather returns. Durable houseplantsAlthough all houseplants grow best with good care there are a few that rest do by more than others. Some of the most durable houseplants are glide lay (Sansevieria) heart-leaf philodendron (Philodendron cordatum) devil's ivy (Pothos) corn plant (Dracaena massangeana). Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia) cast iron lay (Aspidistra) dwarfpalm (Collinea). Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) and spider plant (Chlorophytum).
