Perk Up Peaked Plants
Affected By Poor Indoor Care
UNIVERSITY PARK
(Centre Co.) Do those robust,
leafy plants you brought in last
fall now look as drained and
droopy as an accountant after
tax season? Chances are you
need to adjust your indoor plant
care, says a gardening specialist
in Penn State’s College of Agri
cultural Sciences.
Robert Nuss, professor of or
namental horticulture, said that
indoor plant problems often
have recognizable symptoms
that can be alleviated easily and
inexpensively.
Root rot. Nuss rates root rot
as the most common problem
for indoor plants. “Overwater
ing is the main cause,” Nuss
says. “Avoid using heavy soils
that drain slowly and use con
tainers with a drain hole in the
bottom.”
Nuss suggests using light
potting soils or vermiculite to
allow for proper drainage.
Nutrient deficiencies. If
indoor plant foliage appears to
be pale green or light green, the
plant has not received enough
nittiogen. “Applying fertilizer
eve|y month to two months
should make up for any nutrient
deficiency,” Nuss says.
Spotting a potash (or phos
phorus) deficiency is more diffi
cult. Occasionally, leaf edges
may turn brown and die.
Wilted or drying leaves. In
winter, humidity levels drop, a
condition that turns indoor envi
ronments hot and dry as home
owners seal windows and crank
up heating systems. Dried stems
and leaves are a sure sign of too
dry air.

pebbles and water. Keep the
water level just below the sur
face of the pebbles, preventing
root saturation.
Spindly growth or off-color
foliage. Light yellow foliage or
thin winter growth may be
caused by a lack of light. The so
lution is simple place plants
near a bright window. Adding
additional light near the plant
will help as well.
White, or yellowish crust on
soil surface. Unabsorbed min
eral salts from fertilizer or hard
water can accumulate on the soil
surface or plant stems. These
salts, toxic to roots and plant
stems, can be eliminated by
leaching. Nuss says soil is
leached when about 10 percent
of the applied water passes
through the drain holes in a
plant container. Excess water
that drains through the con
tainer should be thrown out.
Plant soil should be leached
once a month throughout the
year.
Pot-bound plants. Stunted or
low-quality foliage can be
caused by too many roots. Nuss
recommends removing the plant
from the pot to inspect root
growth. If there is a large
number of roots circling the
potting soil, the plant must be
repotted. Tightly matted roots
can be loosened by cutting the
circling pattern that has formed
in the old pot.
Make four to six vertical cuts
into the roots from the top to the
bottom of the root mass. The
new pot should be several inches
wider and deeper than the old
ode. Don’t move the plant into a
very large pot, either. Excess
