Indoor Garden

  • All frost sensitive plants should now be safely indoors indoors for the season.
  • Take cuttings of African violets and cape primrose to replace aging plants.
  • Plant Amaryllis bulbs to bloom for Christmas. Choose a pot that is an inch or two larger than the diameter of the bulb and leave the top half of the bulb exposed above the soil line.
  • Plant paperwhite narcissus in at two week intervals. Grow at least 6 to a pot for maximum bloom effect. Calla Lilies and begonias can also be started.
  • For additional interesting indoor flowers plant annuals like dwarf marigolds, nasturtiums in sunny windows or greenhouses.
  • In sunny windows (6 hours sun a day) grow herbs like rosemary, basil, mint, parlsey, thyme and chives.
  • Slow down watering and fertilization of indoor plants.
