Growing and Caring for Your Houseplants
Studies show plants can help remove toxins from the air, alleviate depression and improve our mood. Pre-Covid, Americans were already increasing the number of plants they owned. During the pandemic that number skyrocketed. With so many people purchasing houseplants, there are bound to be some casualties landing in the compost pile however with proper attention many of these plants can provide many years of enjoyment.
Indoor plants face many of the same issues as their outdoor counterparts; location, soil, water, pest and disease management, and even pruning might come into play. Choosing what to grow is also key as some plants are more forgiving of our mistakes and require less care.
Master Gardeners are known for their love of plants both inside and out. Understanding what a plant needs to thrive and how to spot issues before a plant is ready for the compost bin is part of their training.
Join us on Thursday, November 18 at 6 pm at the Danville Library, where Vermilion County Master Gardeners will discuss houseplants and share advice based on horticulture research and their personal experience. They will also demonstrate how to propagate an African Violet and provide samples for attendees to take home.
There is no charge to attend; however, we ask that attendees please register so we have adequate handouts and supplies. Register online at the University of Illinois Extension website or by calling University of IL Extension Office in Vermilion County 217.442.8615.
