Get That Holiday Feeling All Year Plants make the season festive. The holiday season is a time when everyone makes a special ef fort to decorate and utilize plant ma terial for decorating the home. Holly decks the halls, poinsettias splash their brilliant red blossoms in living rooms, pine boughs and bright rib bons garnish doors, and fruit and boxwood foliage arrangements set off the table for holiday feasts. Christmas without plants just would not be the same. Plants can give you that Christ mas feeling year around. Living plants give an otherwise sterile, cold office or room animation that con veys warmth and life. Most plants sold for indoor use will thrive in the same living condi tions which people prefer provided a few basic requirements are met. Large indoor plants need to be care fully selected to fit the environment in which they will be grown. Large foliage plants need space that re ceives moderate to high natural or artificial light. Most indoor foliage plants will thrive with three to five hours of di rect sunlight or six to eight hours of indirect or artificial light. Remem ber, sun exposure changes with the season. One of the most popular and com monly used large indoor foliage plants is the genus Ficus. Most folks know this group of plants as the or namental or tropical figs. The Benjamin weeping fig and the India rubber tree are two members of this diverse group of plants. The Benjamin weeping fig pro duces 2- to 3-inch glossy leaves and a beautiful smooth gray-brown bark. This species is a rapid grower when care is taken to provide optimum light, water and nutrients. 1 have a 12-year-old, 8-foot tall specimen in my living room that is gradually tak ing over the house. The India rubber tree produces large (10- to 14-inch), dark green, glossy leaves and looks very differ ent from its cousin the weeping fig. This species provides an instant fo cal point in a large room and is less prone to leaf drop than the weeping fig Other large indoor foliage plant favorites include the dieffenbachia, THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist dracenas, jade plant, palm (dozens of species suitable for indoor use), split leaf philodendron, aralias and scheffleras. Camellias and gardenias can also be grown indoors but require greater finesse and attention to detail to pro duce healthy vigorous plants. The "Big Killer" of indoor foliage plants is improper soil-water rela tionships that are often directly linked to poor container design and unsuitable growth media. Use only containers with drainage holes. More foliage plants are killed by leaving plant roots in water for long periods than all disease and in sect problems put together. Use a well-drained, light-weight, high organic matter potting soil. Perlite or styrofoam granules can be substituted for sand to improve the drainage and reduce the weight of the final mixture. Avoid the use of native or bagged topsoil in house plant containers. Topsoil is heavy, poorly drained in pots, and will often lead to the early demise of your foliage plant. You can make your own potting soil by mixing equal amounts of peat moss and perlite or vermiculite. Add six tablespoons of ground dolo mitic limestone, eight tablespoons of 5-10-5, and one cup of water per bushel of the soil mixture. Stir and knead the mixture with your fingers until all ingredients are mixed to gether. Temperature and humidity of most indoor environments are suit able. However, temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (F) will per manently injure many foliage plants. High temperatures (over 85F) cou pled with low humidity can also cause leaf tip burn or other prob lems. Be sure to avoid placing plants too close to heat vents or other heat sources. Good environmental conditions, proper nutrition and watering, and regular pruning will keep most in door plants healthy. Curing disease or insect problems with a weak indoor plant is expen sive and often futile. Make your indoor environment more festive this coming year with living plants.
