FOLIAGE TURNS YELLOW. 



Will you tell me what makes the leaves 

 on my poinsettias turn yellow and drop 

 off? They made good roots, but in a 

 week or two they started to rot. They 

 keep making new roots and keep rotting 

 off. . J. G. 



There are several causes for the leaves 

 on poinsettias turning yellow. The most 

 common cause is too much water at the 

 root. If the soil in the pots or pans 

 becomes soggy, you will assuredly lose a 

 large part of the foliage. Too heavy or 

 too frequent use of liquid manure will 

 also cause the leaves to turn yellow, as 

 will too low a temperature. Keep your 

 plants now in a night temperature of 58 

 to 60 degrees. Do not water until the 

 soil in the pots dries out fairly well.

Never apply manure water unless you 

 are sure the pots are well filled with 

 roots and always avoid the use of fresh 

 manure in the compost. The plants 

 want full sunshine and free ventilation 

 to keep them stocky. As the bracts de- 

 velop, a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees 

 at night will suit them, , lowering it 5 

 to 10 degrees when the bracts are fully 

 expanded. C. W.
