Watering House Plante "Water the plants, please."1 Se either littie Johnnie or his dad filis up the pitcher and pours. When the pitcher is ern- pty, the job is done. The plant's wate~r supply always depends an the size of that pitcher. What if the plant didn't get enougli wvater? It would grow poorly, shed le:ives and show the dullest of foli:?ge. Too mu(ýh water? The roaLs ani plaat parts at the soul level would die and decay because of lack of soil oxygen. You must gct the proper amount on those plants. But how? Horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture suggest vîewing the prob- lem with these factors xi mind: Temperature, humidity, light, soul, type of plant, age of pl.ants, growth rate and aize of con- tainers. How cen you tell when a plant needs water? Flrst, look at the condition of the sali sur- face, or tap the pot A dry pot wil give a clear sound when tapped; a wet one wil give a duil sound. And don't forget that water lias weight-a wet pot is heavier. When watering, add enougli water to wet the soul to the bottom of the pot. If the plant is in a warm area and is grow- ing quickly, then daily water- ing may be necessary. Other cases may caîl for onl.y weekly watering. Water early in the day so that the plants are not soaiked over-rught. A few extras:- 1. Don't wet the foliage-4ýt may lead to disease. 2. If chemically softened wa- ter causes injury, use rein wa- ter or melted snow. 3. .Water the plant £rom the top every two weeks, even when Yau water froni a dish under the pot. If you don't, crystals of soil nutrients wil form on the surface and cause injury. 1e i usons? mer*e,'m -omaew -- > ý - Memorial, Hospital Staff Holds Christmas Party ly taken il on the street, would yau want to be carted off byth police?
