Plant sale upcoming

The Landscape Horticulture Department is holding
their Christmas plant sale on Friday, December 11,
but if you.want to get in on the plants, you must put
your order in by 1 pm, Wednesday, December 9.
They will be selling poinsettias, mumsettias, azaleas,
chrysanthemums, and cyclamen. Order forms will
be appearing in your mailbox soon—if you have any
questions contact Judith Weiss at 2208.

And once you’ve bought that
plant...

Now that you’ve bought a poinsettia, what do you do
with it? Here’s some more advice from Landscape
Horticulture.

1. Take your plants home as soon as possible. Do
NOT leave poinsettias in a cold car or outside as
they do not like getting chilled.

2. Unsleeve your plant as soon as you get it home.
Place it in a bright location away from heat sources
or cold draughts. The closer you keep these plants
to 60-65° F, the longer they last.

3. Water generously with luke warm water when soil
appears or feels somewhat dry. Do not let these
plants stand in water continuously—they don't like
wet feet. Never let these plants get so dry as to wilt.

4. These plants have a sufficient fertilizer charge to
last for 6-8 weeks.

P.S. Poinsettias look sensational under candelabra
light—try it and see how the colour comes to life!
