Liquid Feeding May Be
Best For House Plants
Just because everything
outside is green, growing and
receiving your attention, don't
neglect the care of your house
plants this summer.
The best method of applying
fertilizer to house plants is in
liquid form, suggest North
Carolina State University
extension specialists. If a
soluble fertilizer is used, be
■ure to follow the manufctur
er's instructions. If a dry
garden type fertilizer is used,
dissolve one teaspoonful in a
quart of warm water. Stir well
and let stand overnight before
using. Then use enough of the
solution around well establish
ed plants to wet the soil well.
If some of your plants, have
outgrown the container and
have become root-bound, repot
in a larger container. A good
potting medium is a mixture of
three parts loamy soil, two
parts peat moss and one part
coarse sand. To this mixture
add one cup of 20 percent
superphosphate to each bushel
of prepared soil. Bone meal may
be substituted for the super
phosphate.
Many house plants do better
out of doors in the summer if
they are adapted to outdoor
conditions. They may be grown
on porches, terraces or in the
garden border. This would not
apply to such as African violets.
A good way to carry many
types of house plants through
the summer is to bury them up
to the rim of their container in a
selected site out of doors. A
layer of gravel at the base of
each pot will assure good
drainage.
