Plants For
Thanksgiving
Many florists now
have a huge assortment
of chrysanthemums and
foliage plants from
which you can choose to
decorate your home for
Thanksgiving.
If you are buying a
chrysanthemum, cons
ider this: even though
> ou would like the plant
to be colorful on
Thanksgiving, try to
choose one that has just
a few open flowers, but
many buds. The plant
will stay in bloom a
longer time. Choose a
plant that is full rather
than sparse looking.
When you bring a new
plant into your home, it
is going from that ideal
greenhouse atmosphere
into a comparatively
harsh environment. It
may help to place them
in a fairly bright, but not
sunny location for a few
days before gradually
bringing them into the
bright sun they might
need.
If the plant looks as if
it’s wilted, it may need a
humidity boost. Spritz
plants at least once
daily.
Feeding a new plant
isn’t necessary. Most
likely it has recently
been potted in soil
containing all the
nutrients needed for
good growth. You don’t
have to feed again for at
least four months.
Do not immediately
repot a new plant. Let
the plant adjust to its
new environment first,
before fooling with it.
The only time a new
plant should be repotted
immediately is if the pot
is obviously too small.
