“Live Long and Garden” - Peter Punzi

Indoor Garden

  • Start seeds of indoor plants. Although many houseplants are propagated asexually by cuttings, layering or dividing many can be grown from seed. Coleus, begonias, gloxinia, cacti and succulents are all good candidates for starting from seed.
  • Cut Christmas trees. Recycle the branches of your Christmas tree. Remove the branches and use them as a protective barrier for frost sensitive plants in your garden. Later as the needles fall off they can be used as pea brush to support your peas.
  • Live Christmas trees - can be transplanted into their permanent location in the garden.
  • Continue forcing bulbs like amaryllis and paperwhite narcissus. You can also start bringing inside pots of bulbs left outdoors for their cold dormancy treatment. Bring in crocus first then hyacinths, daffodils and tulips for a spring preview.
