Info |
Indoor
cyclamen can now be revived with water after their summer rest. |
| |
|
Check
for vine weevel in your cyclamen, primrose, fuchsias and begonias. |
| |
|
If
your christmas cactus has been outside for the summer it can be bought in
now but do not water it too much. This will encourage it to flower later
in the autumn or even nearer Christmas. |

|
Bulbs
which will flower at Christmas can be planted now |
| |
Cuttings |
Keep
taking cuttings of favourite flowers and shrubs, pelargoniums, hydrangeas,
fuchsias to name but a few. Ask friends for cuttings to increase your variety.
Take cuttings of houseplants too. |

JOBS |
|
Water
every day but in the evening so your plants can maximise on the moisture
provided. |
| |
|
Keep
an eye out for bugs, disease and pests. |
| |
|
Check
your plants in case they need repotting. |
| |
|
For
the next few months the sun will be very strong so to prevent the leaves
being scorched put some blinds or net in the greenhouse to diffuse the light. |
| |
|
Ventilation
is very important so dont forget to open those doors and windows on hot
days. On cool nights close them all and put netting up if you have intruders,
such as cats. |
| |
|
If
you have any houseplants in your greenhouse, go
to the Houseplant section for more advice. |
