ByKathyBramhall Itisadarkgrayday with some drizzly rain— love it. It does keep me in- side. Now that I've got my Christmas decorations down and mostly put away, I'm looking around at my house plants. After the busy holidays they need some TLC. Watering—first and fore- most, plus I added a little liquid 7-7-7 fertilizer. Pruning next—pinch- ing out dried leaves and flowers. And I'm reshap- ing by snipping off the wild growth. Relocating—after mov- ing pots to make room for the Christmas tree, I'm moving them back to their original locations—better humidity and better light— both critical for house- plants. I have an angel-wing type Begonia Lucerne in the master bedroom. It is old and multi-trunked, but still does well. In the dining room I have that large Monstera— related to the philoden- drons—large deeply lobed leathery leaves on tough stems that twist and turn. I've had this plant for years. My mother always said it was just plain ugly— I guess it earns its name. Sunset says big plants sometimes bear calla-like flowers, which under the right conditions, will ripen into an edible banana-pine- apple flavored fruit. Mine has never put on flowers or fruit, but I love it any- way! Occasionally I use the leaves in floral designs— such fun to use in the natu- ral shape or clip to reshape. Also on a table in the dining room I have two plants—an Anthurium. This I've had for years, with heart-shaped leaves and bright red heart- shaped bract surrounds a white spiked flower—very unusual. It didn't bloom this year, I suspect because it didn't get enough hu- midity. The second plant is a wild Begonia Thursto- nii given to me a couple of years ago by my friend Mary Reynolds. My 10 year old Ti (pro- nounced "tea") plant sits in the Family room. This plant is amazing. I thought I was losing it last winter— it got a fuzzy mildew and a couple of stalks died off. After dosing it with veg- etable oil which killed off the mildew, it has recov- ered nicely. I grew this from a 2 inch piece of root my daughter-in-law Sharon Wilkes brought back from Hawaii. Next to the Ti is a tall Sansevieria given to me by my friend Sue Prahl. Talk about indestructible— try a Sansevieria. In front of the French doors sits a large pot with a large-leaved Philoden- dron. This plant strug- gles to maintain its leaves. It gets a few of the attrac- tive large—8-12" deeply lobed leaves—and then they start to dry up. Again I think too low humidity. I also have two pots of an- gel-wing type begonias, a second Lucerne and a So- phie Cecil. There is a pot of mixed succulents and a pot of Schlumbergera— Christmas cactus—which I hope will bloom this spring since it didn't bloom for Christmas. In the day room win- dows sit several African vi- olets—two in bloom—dark red singles. I also have two pots of Silver Queen pothos, a Hoya, a purple velvet plant, two rhizom- atous begonias 'Cathedral Windows' and Beef-steak, two cane-type begonias 'Joyce Hess' and 'Copper Penny', a tough old Spathi- phyllum, and a pot of dead basil—must do something about that! I just repotted my Garden Club Christmas Party present in a large pot on the side porch. It is an Azalea with multiple stems of red and white blossoms.
