One of the nicest Christmas
gifts to give or to receive is a
potted plant; many of these
plants will provide years of
pleasure because they can be
forced- to bloom year after
year.
One great Christmas gift
plant is the azalea or
Rhododendron indica, an
evergreen houseplant that
produces bright flowers in
either white, pink, lavender
or red.
Place the azalea in an east
window at a temperature of
12 degrees to 15 degrees
Celsius (53 degrees to 59
degrees Fahrenheit) to en-
courage, several weeks of
continuous flowering.
Azaleas, like Rhododen-
drons, require acid soil and a
cool, moist environment.
So be sure to water your,
azalea everyday.

months, all your houseplants

or mist frost and store in a light place
your at five degrees Celsius (41
degrees Fahrenheit).
In January, move the
azalea to another room with
good light and at a
temperature of 15 degrees
Celsius (59 degrees
Fahrenheit).
Cyclamen are members of
the primrose family.
The pink, mauve, white or
reddish flowers are produced
on long stalks which reach
above heart -shaped leaves.
If conditions are right, the
flowers will last four to eight
weeks..
Cyclamen are produced
from a corm and grow best in
a cool location about 12
degrees to 15 degrees Celsius
(54 degrees to 59 degrees
Fahrenheit).
They require good light but
they should be protected
from hot sun.
The corm should extend at
least halfway out of the soil to
prevent the leaf and flower
stems from rotting.
"Remember to apply water
early enough in the day so
that the base of the stems ,
become dry before nightfall,"
Friendship says.
After flowering, a seasoned
plant may be carried through
the summer by placing the
pot in sandy soil and gradual-
ly letting it become quite dry.
In the fall, the cyclamen
should be repotted and
gradually brought back into
growth.
"This & will often make a
good flowering plant the se-
cond year too. The corms
may last for several years,
but each year, as the tubers
become larger and produce
more flowers, the flowers will
be smaller than those
originally produced." she ad-
ded.
The amaryllis is a hand-
some bulbous plant with
funnel -shaped flowers on long
stems.
Large bulbs can be pur-
chased in the fall and placed
in 12 centimetre to 15 cen-
timetre (five inch to she inch)
