Seasonal Advice

Now that Summer has a firm hold on all of us. The average temperature just about everywhere in the country is above 70ºF, and thunderstorms are nearly as abundant as ants at a picnic.

Gardening

In July, summer bugs are at their best (or worst, as the case may be).

Keep your houseplants happy and healthy by following these tips:

Most flowering plants need to be within three feet of a sunny window.
Most plants require 12 to 16 hours of light per day.
More houseplants die from overwatering than from anything else.
Water plants with room-temperature water.
Most houseplants are happiest when the relative humidity is 50 percent or higher.
Cluster houseplants together when humidity is low, and water more often.
