- Draw
up your garden plans –
this is the time to dream
and scheme!
- Winter
pruning on a sunny day can
give life and bloom to neglected
or overgrown shrubs. However,
don’t prune spring-blooming
plants like forsythia, azaleas
or rhododendron as you will
be cutting off the coming
blooms.
- Holiday
plants like poinsettia, amaryllis
and Christmas cactus will
last longer in cool temperatures.
Feed poinsettias with a water
soluble fertilizer (20-20-20)
whenever the soil dries out.
- Make
friends with the birds…Put
out Lyric Birdseed
and C&S
Suet Cakes.
- Heavy
snow and ice can damage evergreens
and birches. Gently brush
off shrubs and prop up leaning
birches if necessary.
- Spray
houseplants with Safers
Houseplant Insecticidal Soap
if spider mites or mealy bug
are present.
- If
deer are destroying shrubs
and trees, spray with Liquid
Fence.
- Rotate
your houseplants a half-turn
every other week to expose
foliage to improved light
conditions and eliminate bending.
- Start
seeds indoors for early spring
planting. Use a Hydrofarm
Hot House with Mat
to grow bigger, healthier
starts.
- Fertilize
new seedlings with Neptune’s
Harvest Fertilizers.
- Add
color to your world with plants
from our greenhouse…orchids,
primrose, African violets
and more!
