Ollaij ijoi Get Creative With Cranberries Ruby red cranberries lend a festive touch to salads, entrees, breads, sauces, and desserts. They also add a festive air to holiday crafts and decor. Need a quick centerpiece? Open a bag of fresh cranberries, add them to a vase and fill with water, insert a bouquet of fresh flowers. Make a cranberry float by floating cranberries around a floating candle in a water-filled glass dish. How about a cranberry gar land? Traditionally strung with popcorn, cranberries also make a colorful garland on their own. Hang from mantels or wind through a chandelier. To make stringing cranberries easier, wax the needle and thread with bee’s wax or use dental floss. To keep the garland fresher longer, spray shellac on the cranberries after stringing Rustic Apple Cranberry Tart adds a festive touch to holiday tables.

A poinsettia “blossom” is ac tually composed of bracts, the large colorful “petals” that are actually modified leaves, and the true flowers that are held in cyathia, the small green struc tures that comprise the center of the poinsettia “blossom.” A close look at the cyathia may be one clue to choosing a poinset tia that is closer to the begin ning of “bloom” than the end. If the true flowers bear ing yellow pollen are prominently visible in most cyathia or if the cv athia have dropped, the “bloom” may be passing or past peak. Poinsettias do not like cold (below 50 P), not even a short exposure during trans port from shop to home. The seller should pro vide some protection a sleeve-for the plant, and it should not be trans ported or left in a cold automobile trunk. Cold can cause leaf and bract drop and bract discolor ation so avoid cold tem peratures, even drafts once the plant is at home. Remove the plant from the sleeve or other protection sooner rather than later. Poinsettias enclosed too long devel op epinasty, the droop ing of leaves and bracts, which will usually disap pear in a few days under good growing condi tions. Don’t buy poinset tias that are stored or displayed in sleeves. Poinsettias need regu lar watering (drying out will cause premature leaf loss) but the potting mix should dry to the touch before re-water ing. Give them a bright location but no direct sun while they are in bloom to avoid excessive drying or high tempera tures. Ideal tempera tures are 70-75 degrees during the day and 60-65 degrees at night. The plants might benefit from fertilizer after a month or so, especially if the plan is to keep them beyond the holidays as houseplants.
