BiS-Uncastor Farmlnfl, Saturday, Novambar 20,1998 Vegetable Growers Prepare For Meeting ATLANTIC CITY, NJ.—The Vegetable Growers Association of New Jersey will once again return to the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resent in Atlantic City for their 1994 annual meeting on January 18-20. Educational sessions, a trade show, spouses program, and din ner show are the featured events of this year’s meeting. Growers and the vegetable industry are looking forward to another successful meeting in the large and spacious facilities of the Ivy Topiary Care Topiaries in the shape of trees, spheres, hearts and even animals are popular holiday gifts for gar deners. If you are the lucky reci pient of a topiary house plant or plan on giving one as a gift, here for some tips for helping them stay healthy; • Ivy likes a dry/wet cycle. Allow the plant to dry slightly and then water it until the root ball is well soaked. During the winter the plant will require less water. • As long as the plant is produc ing new leaves it may be fertilized with a diluted fertilizer solution. Choose a fertilizer specifically formulated for house plants that is high in nitrogen. • Ivy thrives in cool tempera tures; even SO* is not too cool and the plant will produce the most new growth when room tempera ture ranges from 50-60*. Keep the plant away from forced air vents that blow dry air. Ivy requires high humidity. • Place the plant in bright light. Windows that face south or east receive the most light especially during the winter. Spider mites are the biggest pest problem for ivy topiaries. A good sign of mite infestation is mottled leaves that keep dropping from the plant. Minor mite problems can be cured by washing them off the leaves with warm water. If you observe tiny spider webs between the leaves and stems, the plant is in serious trouble. Ivy can be treated with a house plant insecticide, but the best cure is to avoid the prob lem by providing the plant with the proper growing conditions. Once a month give the plant a warm shower to help clean dust off the foliage. Ivy likes to be potbound and can remain in the same pot for several years. Keep the topiary looking at its best by snipping off leaves or shoots that grow too far away from the wire support system.
