Van Belle On Gardening Indoor Fun With Plants Now that we have more time to spend the evenings at home, since the time has changed, and it is getting darker earlier every day, it is time to have some fun with plants. Indoor gardeners are always enjoying the creation of new plants, or simply called "propagation". There are several methods of the propagation of plants. First, we have the propagation by seed, next is starting new plants by cuttings, leaf cuttings and soft tip cuttings, and the last is layering, either in the soil or right on the stem called airlayering. Seeding - This is normally done in February and March with the annuals to get them started for the spring season, but there are also indoor plants that can be seeded, such as the Sprengeri fern, the Kalanchoe and certain varieties of Cacti. I will not spend too much time on this subject, except to say that the soil medium must be porous and friable so that the excessive moisture can easily flow through the soil medium, and the finer the seed the lighter the soil covering should be over the seed. And watch your watering, misting the newly seeded plants every other day is probably the best. Layering - This method of propagation is rather easy with good results, it is usually used on plants that are growing too large and have to Be trimmed back to accommodate the space in the room. A good example is the rubber tree, it will often lose some of the bottom leaves, especially in the fall when the humidity drops in the home. Another good example is the Diefenbachia, it will grow too tall for the room and has to be trimmed back, then airlayering is an excellent way to produce new plants. Airlayering, or Chinese layering, or if you want a fancy word use Marcottage, are terms applied to the method whereby roots are produced on stems that are Agriculturists Call for Bigger Role for Banks The banks should take a bigger part in handling the financial affairs of the rural community, the president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Harry Pelis- sero, said at the Canadian Bankers Association agricultural agricultural credit conference conference in Ottawa. "I believe the new era of agricultural credit will demand demand more and better advice advice from your branches, your credit officers and your agricultural extension staff," Pelissero said. He suggested several ways bankers could help farmers reduce their debt load. "You can offer time, still the scarcest commodity...You commodity...You can help make the transition from the dated equity-financing method to the pragmatic science of cash flows." The delegates were asked to treat farmers "as well and as fairly as other creditors. creditors. If you ask for a waiver of rights against equity to secure a loan, then you should offer something in return, like a better rate or a more favourable repayment repayment schedule," Pelissero said. He said bankers should work with farmers to investigate investigate co-operative ownership ownership of machinery and should consider encourag ing some farmers to rent additional additional land instead of buying it. The OFA's two major thrusts to stabilize the farm economy arc agri-bonds and market risk insurance (stabilization). Pelissero said that if the banks joined the OFA in lobbying the government for agri-bonds, "we would be as certain of success as you could ever be in politics." Agri-bonds are an investment investment vehicle that offer low interest rates in return for tax concessions. The provincial provincial government has indicated indicated its support of the agri-bond concept. Market risk insurance, or stabilization, would take care of the income side of farmers' financial problems, problems, Pelissero said. He said the OFA's market risk insurance plan "would stabilize farm income without without leading to over-production, over-production, like in the U.S., and without hampering the laws of supply and demand, like in Europe," Farmers and both the federal federal and provincial governments governments would pay into a market market risk insurance plan. When the market price for a certain commodity drops below a pro-determined level, farmers would get a pay-out. still attached to the plant. The operation is a simple one, merely consisting of cutting a notch into the stem. The notch should cut one-third of the way into the stem at "the point where you want to have the roots formed. The best place is close to the top of the plant, such as in the case of the rubber plant, this would be done 9 to 15 inches below the tip of the plant. With most plants, the cut should not be lower than 2 feet from the top, since then the wood becomes too hard and makes it harder to produce roots. Apply some rooting hormone powder to the wound and then cover the wound with moist Spaghnum moss, and wrap this moss with a plastic sheet, to keep the moisture in the spaghnum moss. Leave an opening at the top so that you can add water to the moss, when it becomes dry. In about 8 to 10 weeks the moss should be filled with roots. Now the new plant can be cut off, this should be done with a sharp knife, and cut the stem at an angle. This will prevent sap build-up on the top • -of the cut, which could cause the stem to rot. The new plant can then be planted in the pot,, try not to disturb the root system in the moss. The old plant can then be thrown out or if you want to try to save the rest, you can leave it as it is, and you will notice that new shoots will form just above the leaves, making the plant fuller and will give you a nicer specimen. Another way to produce even more plants from the mother plant, is to cut up the whole stem into pieces 4 to 5 inches long and bury them partially in moist sand or sand and peatmoss, with the tops sticking up, and often they will root, especially the Diefenbachia and the Dracena varieties. It is very important to keep the box of cuttings in a very warm temperature at least 75 to 80 degrees, to make them sweat and to get the root action started. Next week, soil layering and cûttings.
