Repotting 
When plants are root bound, they should 
be repotted in a slightly larger pot to en¬ 
courage new root development. We also 
have prepared a special compost for this 
purpose. The indication that a plant needs 
repotting is observed by looking at the roots. 
When only roots are seen and plant lacks 
vigor, repotting is recommended. 
Picking Flowers 
When flowers are to be worn as corsages, 
stem can be cut to the desired length. For 
floating in a flat vase or dish, snap out the 
bloom at bottom of calyx, leaving all foliage 
and wood on plant for future bloom devel¬ 
opment. Always submerge flowers in cold 
water for a few minutes after picking, then 
place in ice box to keep if not used imme¬ 
diately.
