Prevent houseplant deaths Houseplants require less water during the winter than at any other time of the year, says Bob Hamersma of-.the Horticultural Research Institute Institute of Ontario. As the days become shorter, plant growth slows. This reduces the plant's need for moisture, he says. Many home gardeners have difficulty watering plants properly. As a result, more plants die from overwatering than from any Other cause. Mr. Hamersma recommends checking the soil moisture about 2 cm (% in.) below the soil surface. If the soil is dry, it's time to water the plant. Water plants thoroughly until the water can be seen running from the bottom of the pot. Discard the excess water that drains from the bottom. Make sure the soil volume is wet, but not saturated. Frequency of watering depends on the type of plant and the light humidity condi- Autumn walk in the park Judy Gilchrist Provincial parks in the Lindsay area are officially closed, however, you are • welcome to walk in the parks and enjoy the colotirful autumn scenery.

Plants grown under lights, or grown in bright, dry conditions may require watering as often as every second day. And many tropical plants suffer in the dry environment of the average Ontario home in winter. "The ideal solution to the dryness is a humidifier", says Mr. Hamersma. "If that is impractical, try taking your plants into the bathroom when you shower or into the kitchen when you cook, to provide the humidity that many plants enjoy."
