Houseplants and tropical gardens mix
DOVER, DEL.-Visitors to
the University of Delaware’s
College of Agricultural
Sciences in Newark have
had the opportunity to ob
serve an interesting display
of tropical plants this
summer. Set out in a border
in front of Agricultural Hall
until the threat of cold
weather drives it indoors is a
collection of banana, palm,
citrus and avocado trees,
foliage begonias, and other
plants normally seen indoors
at this latitude.
The display is the idea of
greenhouse supervisor Paul
H. Dennison, who says it
started out as a good way to
make space in University
greenhouses for other plant
projects over the summer. It
also gives some ideas for a
more innovative approach to
the treatment of houseplants
during warm weather
months.
One enthusiast of the
tropical garden idea is
horticulturist Dr. Richard
W. Lighty, coordinator of the
University’s Longwood
Program, a graduate
program in horticulture
affiliated with Longwood
Gardens. Lighty feels that

many people have
houseplants that could easily
be used to create similar
effects while giving them a
beneficial simmer airing.
According to Lighty, many
of our popular houseplants
come from very exotic parts
of the world, such as
Polynesia, the West Indies,
South Africa, Mexico and
Java. Though some manage
quite well considering the
limited light conditions and
dry environment of the
average home, they really
flourish when set outdoors
provided they get proper
light and frequent watering.
And they can provide a lush
setting for a patio, part of the
flower border or even a
balcony while they’re out
side.
Among the plants on
display in front of
Agricultural Hall are
several large specimens,
including two banana trees,
a Windmill Palm and a Sago
Palm. These are more plant
than the average
householder would want to
tackle for winter storage
indoors, but there are also a
number of other examples
that could easily lend
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 24,1977
themselves to overwinter
care in a house or apart
ment.
There are a couple of
colorful Crotons-fast-grow
mg shrubs whose spotted
yellow, green and orange
foliage provide a bright
splash of color; Angel Wing
Begonias from Central
America; Metallic Begonias
whose reddish green leaves
appear made of foil; the
striking Bird of Paradise (a
South African cousin of the
banana); and some
bromeliads (an unusual
decorative plant related to
the pineapple).
Lighty says there are
many other plants that can
also be used. The trick is
figuring out how to get them
to live over winter. Both
available space and light
conditions indoors have to be
taken into account.
One way to make winter
storage of tropical plants
more convenient is to choose
some that can be cut back,
dried off and overwintered in
a dormant condition.
The fig tree (Ficus carica)
is one which can be treated
this way.lt has the added
appeal of bearing delicious
fruit during the summer.
Another plant that goes
completely dormant is
Datura, or Angel’s Trum
pets-a sun-loving shrub that
bears large white, salmon or
pink, trumpet-like blossoms.
Probably the most familiar
example of a plant that can
go completely dormant in

the winter is the geranium,
once the exotic prize of many
a farm wife in the cooler
parts of our country.
During dormancy such
plants can be kept in a cool
basement, spring house, sun
porch, attached garage or
other building where tem
peratures don’t drop below
38 degrees. Soil should be
kept barely moist (not
dusty) during the three to
four months of dormancy,
which means it may be
necessary to occasionally
water pots lightly.
People with a breezeway,
enclosed porch or light, cool
entrance hall can easily
extend the growing season of
many semi-dormant types of
tropical plants by keeping
them in such a location over
winter. During this brief
period (two months or so),
growth stops without much
outward change in ap
pearance. Plants in this rest
stage require less water and
should not be fertilized.
The Flowering Maple or
Parlor Maple (Abutilon x
hybridum) in the
Agricultural Hall planting is
one example that over
winters this way. An old
fashioned favorite that
comes from tropical
America, it has orange bell
shaped flowers all year
round and blooms best in full
sun when slightly pot bound.
It’s also easy to start new
plants from cuttings.
