Perquimans Gardening By Jean Wins low y All plants in pots should be brought in now, and if they have grown well during the summer, it may be time to change to bigger containers. Here are some tips for repotting: ?Go up one pot size only. Roots like to be a little crowded and indeed, most plants refuse to flower until they become a trifle pot bound. ?Pots must be clean, clean, clean. Scrub or dip the con tainer in chlorine bleach to prevent the transferral of varmints from the porch to the living room. ?Put gravel, shards (broken clay pots) or, as it is suggested in Betsy Trundle's "Gull's Eye View," a balled up nylon stocking over the hole in the bottom of the pot to insure good drainage. If you bring soil in from the garden you will have to sterilize it in a 140 degree oven for 45 minutes. However, if you've ever watched that insidious dial on the electric meter go round and round, you know that buying a bag of potting soil is cheaper. ?Check your garden books, (or call me!) to see what proper soil proportions are for a specific plant. Some require more sand, others more peat, etc. ?Check roots and trim if necessary. As you put in soil around the roots, bang the pot gently on a surface to settle it and eliminate air pockets. Tamp down with your thumbs while rotating the pot in your hands. ?Put an appropriate saucer under the pot. If your house is dry from the furnace, first place gravel or stones in the saucer, then put the pot on top of them. Water left in the saucer cannot rot roots this way, and in the meantime will evaporate, providing a little humidity. ?Plants are inclined to lose a few leaves while adjusting to their new home. Don't panic ? resist the urge to over-water and over-fertilize. Stick a knife or a little stick into the soil. If it comes out clean, then water ? but not until. Water hanging baskets with ice cubes ? no drips. Mist ferns when you think about it. ?Follow directions for fer tilizing ? don't guess. ?Keep a can of all-purpose house and garden spray handy in case of white flies, aphids, spider mites, scale, and the like. ?Plants can handle less heat rather than more. What they don't like is extremes in temperature, like being too close to a window pane that is alternately cold and then hot. ?Finally, (and this is the hard part) if a plant fails to respond to your ministrations and goes sour on you, eliminate it, forget it, and find another green friend to take its place.
