The Care and Feeding of Holiday Plants

About this event

It’s always delightful to purchase or receive those attractive plants at holiday time. Poinsettia, Amaryllis, Christmas Cactus, Anthurium, Cyclamen, are lovely to look at, but how do you care for them afterward? This presentation will cover care of those plants as well as general tips for all houseplants.

Lee Ryan joined the Master Gardener Program in 2014. She has a passion for big, bold flowers, with Dahlias as her favorite. She grows many varieties in her own garden. Lee started gardening by growing herbs in her back yard

for the fragrances, teas and healing properties. This spurred her into researching other plants, including so-called “weeds” for their calming and healing benefits. Lee enjoys volunteering at the CCE Albany Demonstration Gardens as well as the Underground Railroad Education Ctr. Gardens in Albany, where she is developing a medicinal plant raised bed.
