Keep Em*ter Alive
For A Long Time
To keep the plants you received for Easter looking their best, remove the foil, or at least rip the bottom to allow for drainage when the plant is watered. Not all gift plants need direct sun. The best location is when it has good light but not direct sun. Water generously but let soil get slightly dry before watering again.
One of the most popular Easter plants is the Easter Lily. After it has finished flowering and the stalk starts looking saggy and yellow, withhold water gradually until the plant is completely dry. Twist the foliage off and put the pot in a cool, dimlylit place until late spring. At that time, dig the bulb out of the pot and plant it in your outdoor garden. It may even blossom again the same season. Lily bulbs, however, cannot be saved to bloom again in another indoor pot. Next year, if you want to give an Easter Lily as a gift, plan 13 weeks before Easter to set the bulbs in 6 inch pots. On a recent visit to my brother’s home, we were served scones. The recipe comes from an English cookbook and the best I’ve ever tasted.
