About this Event
THIS CLASS IS IN-PERSON AT THE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OFFICE LIMITED SEATING AVAILABLE SO EARLY REGISTRATION IS RECOMMENDED
Whether you are a house plant hoarder or beginning to venture into the world of indoor plants, we find that each new plant is an adventure in learning. Plants not only serve to center our soul they have practical purposes in our lives. With literally thousands of different varieties to choose from there are some very basic needs and methods to help us to have healthy vibrant plants. In this class we will discuss research based ways to care for our house plants and the issues we face.
Learning Objectives:
- Plants are talking to us. Learn the keys to their care.
- Taking the plunge into soil and potting amendments and what they do for our plants.
- Grow lights and how they affect your plants.
- How to deal with high alkaline in our water.
- Fertilizers, reading their labels, how they help or harm.
BRING HOME A NEW FRIEND
Attendees of this class will have the opportunity to take home new cuttings from some common house plants that you can continue to propagate at home. Please bring a small carboard box or plastic bag to help bring your new houseplant home.
