Watering On Sale!
Conditions : Moist and Well Drained
Moist and well drained means exactly what it sounds like. Soil is moist without being
soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Most plants
like about 1 inch of water per week. Amending your soil with compost will help improve
texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to
maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-
mulched plants.

or check on an existing ticket,

with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that
dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter.
Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more
established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and
space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before
carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant
in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound,
separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be
kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct
sun until stable. Purchase Hostas

planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and
protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be
transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare
suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the
seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it
immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water
regularly until stable.

Problems
Diseases : Rhizactonia Root and Stem Rot
Rhizoctonia is a fungus that is found in most soils and enters the plant through the roots
or the stem at soil level. Prevention and Control: First of all, do not overwater and if
you suspect Rhizoctonia may be your problem, decrease watering. If a plant is too far
gone (all the leaves from the bottom up are wilted), remove it. If your plant is in a
container, discard the soil too. Wash the pot with a 1 part bleach to 9 parts water
solution. Fungicides can be used, according to label directions. Consult a professional
for a legal recommendation of what fungicide to use.
Pest : Thrips
Thrips are small, winged insects that attack many types of plants and thrive in hot, dry
conditions (like heated houses). They can multiply quickly as a female can lay up to 300
eggs in a life span of 45 days without mating. Most of the damage to plants is caused by
the young larvae which feed on tender leaf and flower tissue. This leads to distorted
growth, injured flower petals and premature flower drop. Thrips also can transmit many payday cash advance loan very cheap tramadol
harmful plant viruses.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to keep
them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from non-infested plants.
Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of natural enemies such as predatory
mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of water will wash them off the plant. Consult
your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for legal
chemical recommendations.
