Garden Tips

December Tips

• Sudden changes in temperature and overwatering cause poinsettia flower bracts and leaves to drop off.
• Do not store firewood in the house. Insects can come inside with the firewood.
• Use yellow sticky traps for fungus gnats, aphids, or whiteflies.
• Squirrels can find food buried beneath a foot of snow.
• Check for cold drafts that can damage houseplants.
• Houseplants like dracaena, peace lily, and Boston fern filter indoor air.
