Some Christmas Tips.....

       If you are lucky enough to have received a colorful Christmas plant as a gift or have treated yourself to one, here are a few tips for care.....

Most Amaryllis plants need support because their magnificent blooms are so top-heavy. Gently attache stems to slim wood or metal stakes before the flowers pop open.


Get the most out of  your Pointsetts over the holidays. Place them where the get 6 hors of bright light, but keep away from drafts and heat, which cause stress on the plants leading to fading colorful brackets.

Another popular Christmas plant gift is a rosemary. Remember is is an evergreen shrub from the Mediterranean, so it becomes unhappy in moisture-retentive or soggy soil. You may have to repot your plant into a well-draining mix.

     Christmas trees dry out in a warm house. Even the strings of lights generate a small amount of heat that adds to the stress. So check the water level daily and turn on the lights only when you're in the room.

Have a safe and happy Christmas and  New Year's!!!!
