   What's Inside
Temperature and House Plants - A chief consideration is the temperature of the room in which the plants are to live. If the night temperature falls to between 7° and 10° C., choose only the hardiest kinds, If the minimum night temperature is maintained at 10° to 15°C., intermediate pla... more Lawn Repair - First determine if the area can be repaired more easily than renewed. If the soil is very poor or shallow or if more than half the greenery is weeds, forget about renovation and decide upon remaking. It will be cheaper and better in the end. Test the dept... more Feeding House Plants - Food should be given only when light intensity and temperatures are high enough for growth. Applying plant food that cannot be used can damage soil and plant. This can be minimised by leaching the soil before feeding. Soak the pot for 10 to 20 minutes in... more Bonsai Display - Usually bonsai are brought inside only for display. Since they are viewed from the front and at eye level they must be placed on a stand, shelf or table. The background should be light, plain-muted colour without design. Companion pieces such as stones, s... more Plant Bacterial Diseases - Bacteria which attack plants are much smaller than parasitic fungi but infect in a similar manner by living in, and killing, the tissues. Some species are able to persist by remaining in plant debris or in dormant cells in the tissue of seeds, corms, bulb... more Pruning Standard Roses - Hybrid teas and floribunda trees usually are pruned before delivery. The tops of dormant plants should be balanced. The stems that form the head of the tree should be almost equal in length. Any side shoots along the main stem below the head or at the bas... more Cleaning House Plants - Many house plants belong in the tropics. They tend to lose condition in areas with cool winters and are even more unhappy with the changes of temperature brought about by irregular house heating. When spring comes, they will revive. Some will need repotti... more Propagating Roses - Propagation by cuttings is generally not as successful as by budding. Commercially the method is quite impracticable since a shoot which provides several buds yields only one cutting, and budding is much quicker. Even if the cutting should root, it may su... more Bush Roses - Bush roses vary in height from 1 to 6 ft. or so, according to variety and method of pruning. They are represented by hybrid teas, floribundas and grandifloras as well as the informal shrub types or species, usually grown as single specimens and not in for... more |
