Warmer weather signals that spring is here. After months of being cooped
up indoors, its finally time for gardeners to go dig in the dirt. Its also
time for cooped up house plants to be revitalized.
.
Locate a shady area for this work. Even if houseplants are to be left out
for a short period, after being shut up all winter, leaf damage can occur
with only brief exposure to direct sunlight.
.
First, give the houseplants a bath. Use a soapy solution made of two
teaspoons of mild liquid soap mixed with one gallon of water. Wash the
leaves and stems, being certain to clean both upper and lower leaf
surfaces. Allow the solution to remain on the plants for a few minutes,
but rinse it off thoroughly before it is allowed to dry. This not only
cleans plants, making them more attractive, but the soap helps to remove
aphids, mealybugs and other insects.
.
Next, see if your plant needs re-potting. Although some plants require
being pot-bound in order to flower eventually all plants outgrow their
containers and become root- or pot-bound.
.
Why repot in the spring? Plant roots grow most actively in the spring,
which means the plant will be able to quickly overcome the shock
associated with re-potting.
