Most homes in winter offer a rather hostile environment for moisture-loving foliage plants. The dry air in rooms heated with human comfort in mind takes its annual toll in the form of brown leaf tips and crisped leaf edges on many plants. At the same time, the roots on many plants are slowly rotting away in soggy soil. “The most common houseplant problem I see is overwatering,” says .University of Delaware Extension plant pathologist Bob Mulrooncy. “The leaves on over watered plants usually turn yellow and drop, starting at the bottom of the plant and working their way up.” To confirm that too much water is the culprit, he says to gently remove the plant from its pot and examine the roots. A very small root mass with no small white feeder roots or one with brown, obviously rotting roots is a sign of overwatering. “To avoid this problem,” Mul- rooney says, “it’s important to realize that plants in cool rooms Michael Dagen; Sequoia Riders, Kirsten Myers; Silver Shoes.

Under these condi tions plants in large pots could conceivably go 'several weeks between waterings.” When you do water, he says, water thoroughly. Wet the entire soil ball and allow 10 percent drainage. This is where the type of pot is important. “I prefer unglazed clay pots,” Mulrooney says, “especially for folks who tend to overwater. Clay pots allow for evaporation through the sides of the pot as well as from the soil surface. Roots can get needed oxygen by growing against the inside wall of the porous pot, and this reduces the chance of root death from too much water. With plastic pots, the bottom of the pot can be soggy even if the soil sur face is dry.” As for knowing how often to water a houseplant, bear in mind that soiless peat/perlite potting media tend to dry out faster than media with soil, the plant patholo gist says. And hanging baskets, since they’re nearer'the ceiling where temperatures aie wanner, will dry out faster than other plants in the same room.
