This winter has been mild and we have been able to spend more time in the
garden and on the lawn than we normally do at this time of year.
.
Some of us may have forgotten that we usually do much of our indoor
gardening in January and February. In a normal year it is too cold and/or
wet and otherwise uncomfortable to spend most of the day outdoors.
.
Take some time to look over each indoor plant. Since the plants are
indoors, this can be done anytime of the day or night, regardless of the
weather. That is one of the better attributes of indoor gardening.
.
Start with the foliage. Does it look as it should? Are there little white
spots on the leaves or stems? Do these little white spots move or fly away
when disturbed? What about the color of the leaves? Are they a lighter
than usual shade of green? Are they brown around the edges or do they have
brown spots? Do all the leaves seem to be trying to grow in one direction?
.
Plant foliage can tell us a lot about what is happening with indoor
plants. If the color just does not look quite right there is usually a
problem getting started that can seriously damage the plant. Most often
the problem is in the roots or in the soil around the roots and the plant
is trying to send a signal that it might need some attention.
.
White spots can be a nutrient deficiency, disease or insects. Closer
examination will be needed to determine which it is. A magnifying glass
will help. Scale insects and aphids and be treated with horticultural oil
or insecticidal soap. Whiteflies are more difficult to control and may
require the use of an insecticide. If an insecticide is needed wait until
the temperature outdoors will be above 50 degrees for several hours. Take
the plant outside when the day warms up, spray it well, leave it out for
several hours, then bring it back in before the temperature drops below 50
degrees. Do not leave the plant outside over night.
