Before rétiurning them to their previous locations, it is advisable to examine: each plant and decide what steps should be followed to retain or improve its vigor. x You can‘t look at a plant‘s tongue to determine whether or not is ailing. If you had the equipâ€" t you could look at the leaf stomata, for these groups of sausageâ€"shaped cells act as pores and if abused may be the cause 'o( some maladies. The stomata regulate the flow of water vapor and gases through the leaf by contracting and exâ€" panding like inflated balloons. If these are not functioning propâ€" erly some physiological disturâ€" bances might take place which could endanger the life of the many house Â¥ to make rooffi gtml decâ€" leaf and cause it to drop off or turn yellow. _ This probably occurs more freâ€" quently than we are aware of: 9 it and many plants suspected of being diseased could have this trouble. With this in mind it is important to consider whether or not these cells have become clogged by dust and grime. If this is at all probable take them to the bathâ€" tub or kitchen sink and give them a good spray with lukewarm water.

If the pot is already a large one and you feel that a larger pot would not fit into your scheme of things, it is usually possible, by removâ€" ing some of the soil with a pointâ€" ed stick, to move it into the same pot or a new one of the same dimensions. Before repotting, clean the old pot thoroughly, then place a piece of broken pot or a number of stones over the hole at the base, and cover these with a halfâ€" Tap side of pot on edge of bench to remove old soil.
