increase the humidity around the plants sufficiently by setting the plants in saucers or in 
a long tray that will hold several pots. A chick feeder with guards removed makes a 
good tray. These may be partly filled with small gravel. Set pots on top of gravel and 
pour in water until it does not quite touch pots. 
Pests. Be sure to keep your plants free of insect pests. One of the most common on 
house plants is the mealy bug. Examine plants frequently for pests. Mealy bugs look like 
tiny specks of cotton. One way to remove and kill them is to use a bit of cotton on 
the end of a toothpick. Dip the cotton in alcohol and pick off the bugs. Do not touch 
foliage with the alcohol. Wonder Garden Spray, used as a spray is effective. A badly 
infested plant should be discarded or at least removed from the vicinity of all other house 
plants. All effective insecticides are poisonous. You must not breathe the fumes. You 
must avoid skin contact. See our listing. 
Cyclamen mites are most destructive. The center of an infected plant takes on an 
abnormal appearance and changes to a different color, usually grey. It becomes rough 
in appearance and young foliage is misshaped. Mites spread to all the plants and effective 
measures must be at once applied. We have found the most effective remedy is to spray 
with Wonder Garden Spray, which is listed under “Supplies.” Immediately remove 
infected plants into quarantine. Do not handle infected plants, then healthy plants.
