MOST PLANTS NEED PLENTY OF DRINKS House plants growing in containers need water often, but if the soil around the plant is always saturated, the plant dies because the roots can not obtain enough oxygen, according to horticulturists at Michigan State col- lege. The moisture requirements of the ainerent varieties of house plants vary considerably but some of the troubles of providing proper amounts of water can be avoided If t h e pots ln which the plants are set are placed ln copper or ircn trays and a layer of pebbles ls placed ln the bottom of the tray to permit water to drain from the flower pots. Tne foliage of the plants as well as the roots need motoure and. If water is sprayed upon the leaves with an •Uomlzer once or twice a day. the plants will remain in a more healthy condition. The atmosphere ln most dwelling houses ls too dry to provide an ideal environment for plants. Flowering plants bloom most satis- factorily if they arc placed in a sunny, south window, but piants grown chiefly for their foliage are most thrifty If "-'"lmtJrrtmvtou rnAiui me • «-«»"- of plants is given ln Circular Bulletin No 99 "House Plants."
