Keep Plants Healthy
By Liquid Feeding
Don't forget to give your
house plants proper care
during the warm outside
gardening months. You'll
want them green and
healthy next winter when
they will be the center of
attention again.
The best method of
feeding your house plants
is to use liquid fertilizer,
suggest Agricultural Extension
Service specialists
at North Carolina State
University.
If a soluble fertilizer is
used, be sure to follow the
manufacturer'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 established
plants to wet the soil well.
If some of the plants
have outgrown the containers
and become rootbound,
repot into 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 superphosphate.
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 African
violets and certain sensitive
specimens.
A good way to carry
many types of house plants
through the summer is to
bury them up to the rim of
their containers in a choice
site out-of-doors. A layer of
gravel at the base of each
pot will assure good
drainage.
Eclipses
The highest number of
eclipses possible in one year
is seven. In 1935 there were
five solar and two lunar
eclipses recorded. Four
solar and three lunar eclipses
will occur in 1982. The
lowest possible number of
eclipses in a year is two,
both of which must be
solar, as in 1944 and 1969.
