During the winter months, it can be quite easy to over fertilize some of those delicate plants you brought in from the cold. Recognizing the signs early that your plant has received too much fertilizer can help save it from long-term damage or death. Commons signs of over-fertilization can include yellowing and wilting of the plant’s lower leaves, browning of leaf tips, rotting roots, leaf drop, and slow to no growth.
For plants that have been over fertilized, there are a few steps to take to help the plant survive. First, try rinsing the root ball of as much soil as possible and then let the root ball drain. After an hour, rinse again and let it drain before repotting it into appropriate soil. For potted plants, remember to provide adequate soil flushing between fertilizer applications for best results and happy healthy plant!
Along with finding most of the Bedding plants hanging out in the Greenhouse while we endure this cold snap, you can also find a new Tillandsia display showing off these fantastic air plants available in various colors! Tillandsias are a wonderful addition to any Valentine’s Day potted gift as these plants are extremely hardy! During the summer they require only a gentle weekly or bi-weekly misting and a bright location to keep them looking their best! Stop into the Hyams Greenhouse and find a large assortment of Tillandsias.
The Hyams Nursery has beautiful Corkscrew Willows showing fantastic winter color of yellow and red branches! This specific tree is a wonderful addition to any landscape as it provides a wonderful show all year long! In spring, look for beautiful blooms along its branches with graceful leaves providing shade in the summer. Fall brings bright yellow and red leaves before they drop in winter leaving an interesting and intricate branch structure in similar colors. Corkscrew Willows are excellent trees for an open sunny or part shade area and can grow well in clay or sandy soil. Talk with our knowledgeable staff for more on this unique tree!
