With the holidays almost here, we see some of our favorite holiday plants: Christmas cactus, poinsetta and kalanchoe. The proper care of these plants is often a topic for discussion and dispute, says Larry New bold, County Agricultural Agent, who lists the proper way to care for your plants. Christmas Cactus — The soil mix should be one part loam and one part sand or vermiculite. April to June, it should receive indirect light and plenty of water. In spring, fertilize monthly with houseplant food. Keep dry for July and August to promote development of buds. From September to December, the best temperature is 50 to 60 degrees, with no ligth from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. for 8 to 10 weeks in order to force bloom by Christmas. Water sparingly and mist with water two or three times a week. Do not move or turn the plant and keep away from drafts and temperature changes. WE SHOULD mention that there are at least three species of “’‘Holiday” cactus (Schlumbergera sp.) that flower near different holidays and each requires different conditions to in-^ itiate flowering. Poinsettia — Temperatures are generally too low during winter for plants to set flower effectively under home conditions. Generally as fall approaches (Sept. 1) and night temperatures outside start to go below 65

degress, the plants should be moved indoors. Place plants in a sunny location indoors with night temperatures about 65 degrees and day temperatures at 70 to 75 degrees. Keep moist and feed weekly with 2(1-20-20 fertilizer (1 tsp./gallon). Poinsettias form flower buds when days are shorter than 12 hours. Beginning Oct. 1, give the plants full sunlight during the day.

Eye Incinerator-

EVERY NIGHT, protect the plants from any light by

placing them in'a dark closet between 5 pin. and 8

a.m. After 40 days, slight coloration should begin and th eplant can be moved to a nonnail lighted room. Continue to fertilize with

20-20-20.

Smith’s landfill would benefit from a local disposal site. The magnesite plant was never envisioned as a solution to countywide trash disposal problems, only local ones, Fothergill added. ‘‘We’re not opposed to it,” Marinakis ^aid of township plans for converting the magnesite plant into an incinerator-powered complex. Nor does the MU A object to the Lowerproposed, temporary trash transfer station there if Mar-Tee closes before the county landfill opens. But, the MUA official added: ‘‘We want them (Lower officials) to give us a submisson of some kind, telling us what they want to do and how they’re going to do it. “They haven’t submitted anything but we have talked about it,” Marinakis said. “There is no way they

could get (MUA) approval without it (Lower’s proposal) being a part of the county solid waste' plan,” he explained earner. “We have no problem with the (township) idea...but first they have to come out with a meaningful proposal that is consistent with the county... “You can’t look at it in the narrow sense of their own self-interest,” Marinakis said. Lower, said Fothergill, wants “to retain municipal control” of its proposed magnesite plant conversion and cooperate with the MUA in coordinating that proposal with county waste disposal plans. “But it’s like a Mexican standoff,” the committeeman said of townshipMUA positions. “We want a fonnal commitment out of themed, until we get it, we’re hanging from a string.”
