Living Christmas Gifts VAN BELLE ON GARDENING This week we will look at a few more Christmas plants that are going to he used at this time of the year for Christmas giving. CYCLAMEN. This splendid prolific plant will usually be available from the end of October and then throughout the winter months. The plant is started from seed the previous year and has formed into a tuber or bulb, which can be saved to be used in the following years. When buying this plant do not be deceived by buying the one with the most blooms. Rather check inside the foliage and see how many buds are still coming out at the base of the foliage, then buy the one with the most buds since this will keep coming for the next few months. ■ Cyclamen will do best in a slightly cool room, since they do not like the heat which will cause their leaves to flop over and the stems become too weak to support the leaves and the flowers. It should always be placed in as much light as you can provide, but not direct sunlight so ah East window or a North window would be ideal. Watering is a very important aspect for this plant. It can be watered from the top or by placing a saucer under the plant and watering. it from the bottom, but make sure that no water is left standing in the saucer' since this will cause the roots to rot. As is the case with all plants, use only lukewarm water since this will keep roots from rotting, Allow the plant to rest after all the flowers are finished for at least a couple of months, then repot the plant into a. good potting mix and place the plant outside in the garden in a shady location and as soon as the new flower buds appear bring the plant inside to enoy again for the next fall season. CHRISTMAS CACTUS - Here is a plant that everyone is confused about the proper name. I have heard people call them Christmas cactus, Easter Cactus and Whatever time of the year it blooms it seems to receive the name for tha particular season. 1 have even heard the name mentioned mentioned of Valentine Cactus. Of Course there seems to be a mixup, So let's set the record straight. First there are two different types of plants, the first one is thé summer cactus, which blooms early in the spring and comes in different colors. Its original habitat is the South American countries where it grows in the top of the trees in between the forks of branches, So use a regular soil mix and not the cactus soil mix used for the other cactus. The one that is available now is called the crab cactus and this one should be probably named the Christmas Christmas Cactus, and this is the One that is available now in the flower, shops. Many peo- . pie cannot get them to bloom, or b^ve problems with flower drop or leaf drop. The most common mistake that you keep on fertilizing and watering. watering. From the middle of October the plant should be given à complete rest for the flower buds to form, then when the first buds appear increase watering and resumefeeding resumefeeding until the flowers - are finished and then give the plant another 8 weeks of complet rest with hardly any water and no fertilizer. This plant does not like to be moved around or touched so find a place where it can be left alone. In the spring it can be placed outside in a shady location to keep it over the summer to be enjoyed again in the winter. Until next week, happy gardening. jPPpwvnnç Valise! clock radie JLUQYZfS ' 1 am nvi ' Table Radio I eaaama jam ! jjjüjuum .amm * NEW WORLD OF PERSONAL ELECTRONICS The proven performers 1 Digital, clock. 24-hour 'set and forget' buzzer alarm.
