Tip of the month..

- Prune overgrown trees and shrubs for shape and strength. Several websites show you how. Brush snow off trees and bushes. Added weight can weaken branches.

- Check soil around perennials for heaving. Push plant back gently. Mulch. Cut back any that are more than 18”.

- Check you favorite nursery or CSU extension for upcoming classes and workshops.

- Care of Living Christmas Trees: Avoid keeping the tree indoors too long. Preferably, living trees should stay indoors no more than five days, with seven days the maximum.Be sure the root ball stays moist. Do not let it dry out. Use only small lights that are cool-burning. Keep the tree away from sources of heat such as heater vents, the fireplace, T.V., etc.You may keep the tree in the garage for a few days prior to bringing it indoors and also after removing it from the house. Be sure to keep it watered at all times.

- Christmas cactus plants are in bloom this month. These plants prefer cool temperatures (70 * during the daytime and in the 60's at night), bright, indirect sunlight and moderate to light water. Fertilize plants monthly with a liquid fertilizer when they are not in bloom. For fullness pinch them back in June. In order to re-bloom they require 12 hours of darkness each night in the fall.

- Check soil moisture of shrubs and trees by sticking a screwdriver down 2 inches a few inches from the trunk. If the blade feels dry set bubbler at the base of the plant until the root ball is evenly moist.
