Cleaning Bird Feeders and Other January<br />
Gardening Tips<br />
Cleaning bird feeders, growing<br />
Swedish ivy, and brushing snow<br />
from shrubs are some of the gardening<br />
activities for this month.<br />
By Leonard Perry, UVM Horticulturist and Charlie<br />
Nardozzi, Garden Consultant<br />
Birds deserve clean food surfaces as much as we do. Every<br />
few weeks bring the feeders inside and wash them with soap<br />
and water into which a little bleach has been added (1 part<br />
bleach to 9 parts water). Rinse thoroughly. If you have a<br />
heated bird bath, keep it scrubbed and cleaned regularly as<br />
well. I keep an old brush just for this purpose, whenever I<br />
refill the bath.<br />
When tree and shrub branches bend under the weight of a<br />
new snowfall, use a broom to gently brush off the snow. Don’t<br />
try to remove ice or you might break the branch. It’s possible<br />
to save a branch that partially splits from the main trunk if you<br />
tie it in place and use long screws (coming from each direction,<br />
if necessary) to secure it. If done right away, the tree may<br />
callous over the wound and heal itself next season, and not<br />
split further.<br />
Peperomia are highly decorative houseplants that are easy<br />
to grow, members of the pepper family as you might guess<br />
from the name. Give them bright indirect light, don’t overwater,<br />
and don’t let them get much below 60 degrees (F) for best<br />
growth. The blunt-leaved species is upright, and has rounded<br />
thick, waxy leaves on thick stems. Emerald ripple has dark<br />
green, rippled leaf surfaces and makes a mounded habit.<br />
Watermelon peperomia has silvery white stripes, similar to a<br />
watermelon rind. There are variations you may find on each<br />
of these three main species.<br />
If you received a poinsettia or cyclamen as a holiday gift,<br />
keep it blooming by providing proper care. Poinsettias need<br />
good drainage, so if the pot is still wrapped in foil, make sure<br />
there is a hole in the bottom so water drains out. Of course if<br />
it’s on furniture, place a saucer underneath to protect the finish.<br />
Keep poinsettias away from drafts, such as near doors or<br />
windows or hot woodstoves. Keep soil moist, but don’t overwater.<br />
Keep in bright light.<br />

Fully customizable to suit your needs!<br />
The latter applies, also, to cyclamen which can last for<br />
weeks if kept cool (65 to 68 degrees F in day, less at night).<br />
Too high temperatures, too little water or overwatering, or too<br />
low light may cause leaves to yellow and drop.<br />
When deicing walks, use one of the granular products with<br />
a “chloride” other than sodium component—these are safer on<br />
plants. They may cost a bit more, but you often can use less.<br />
Calcium chloride works best in the coldest areas (down to<br />
about 5 degrees F). If below this temperature, don’t use any<br />
chemical product but rather sand for traction. Liquid products<br />
don’t track into buildings as granular ones often do. Apply<br />
any material before ice and snow, if possible, for best results.<br />
While snow makes a good protective cover for plants, if<br />
you use salt to melt ice on driveways or walks, be careful not<br />
to pile snow from these areas on your plants or where melting<br />
snow will drain onto them.<br />
Otherwise, once snow melts<br />
in spring, flush soil thoroughly<br />
with water to help dilute or<br />
wash away any salt residue.<br />
Other gardening activities<br />
for this month include ordering<br />
seeds and plants from<br />
catalogs, reviewing garden<br />
notes from this past year<br />
while planning for this coming<br />
season, and signing up for<br />
a garden tour or spring garden<br />
symposium such as in<br />
April at Fort Ticonderoga<br />
(www.fortticonderoga.org/<br />
