Extend Blooming Period Of Plants By Daily Watering SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT f The blooming period of potted plants can be extended if you give careful attention to watering, light and tem­ perature, says George Young for the University of Illinois Extension Service, McHenry County. Giving the plants the pam­ pering they received in the greenhouse is the main secret of keeping these potted beauties, he says. All potted plants enjoy almost daily watering in the greenhouse. The consistant waterings develop pure colors and quality foliage. If you allow your gift plant to dry out, many days of beauty may be lost. You can determine when to water by feeling the top of the soil in the pot, Young notes. When the soil feels dry, apply enough water so that some runs through the drain hole in the EUGENE RAVEN JASON HOFFMAN pot. A little water in the pan under the pot indicates the soil is well moistened. Dispose of the excess water so it is not reabsorbed by the soil in the pot. Try to keep your plants near windows -- but not in direct sunlight -- so that they maintain their deep green foliage and brightly colored flowers ad­ vises Young. Faded flowers and faded foliage are signs of poor lighting conditions. Temperature control can stretch the life of flowers and potted plants by 25 percent. An Weal situation for poinsettias calls for night temperatures near 60 degrees F. and daytime temperatures not over 75 degrees F. Moving your plant to a cooler room every evening, then back to the bright living or dining room each day may double the life of your plants Young concludes.
