Hey all,
Spent the day playing with plants. Every so often (usually a rainy day ), I spend some time with my indoor plants.
Basically, this involves roaming around the house with a mulch bucket and scissors removing dead leaves, which happens in the fall when I turn the furnace on.
This is a good time to check for bugs..mealies and spider mites can be a problem.
I also use the time to dust off the leaves. I use a cotton ball and water and wet the cotton and rub the leaves gently removing any dust that has accumulated.
This is a good time to check the soil, make sure the plants are noot root bound or over/under watered.
Indoor plants appreciate this attention and reward us with lots of new growth and sometimes, if we are lucky, flowers.
This is a series of money saving ideas, and tips for gardeners. I will relate them as they occur in my own perennial beds. When winter arrives I will move indoors and talk about houseplants and the chores related to them. Hope you all enjoy.
