• Spray evergreens with Wilt-Pruf to help prevent desiccation in winter. Be sure to repeat during the January thaw.
• Apply tree wrap to young & thin-barked trees from ground to lower branches.
• Protect tender & exposed shrubs from desiccating winter winds with a burlap screen.
• Finish mulching roses and ornamentals as they go into dormancy.
Discontinue fertilizing houseplants unless blooming or growing under artificial lights until March switch to Indoor plant fertilizer.
DECEMBER
•Do not take live plants outdoors unless well protected.
•Spray fresh cut greenery & Christmas trees with Wilt-Pruf to last longer both indoors & out.
•Don’t forget to care for your houseplants with a weekly inspection & shower of water-especially ivies, ferns & violets. This simple practice will not only clean foliage but also wash off insects & raise humidity.
•Grouping houseplants in arrangements will help raise humidity around them.
•If the ground is dry & not yet frozen, one more watering of new planting & evergreens is needed as late as December 20.
