Overwintering container plants is a challenge, but worth trying
Postmedia News: 18 October 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Q: We have planted three beautiful cedars in pots to divide our outdoor kitchen from the outdoor living room. We enjoyed them all summer long. With winter right around the corner we keep wondering what we can do to ensure they survive the winter.

A: Ah, the age-old question. how to get potted plants to survive the Alberta winter. Plants that are hardy for our area will have a hard time making it through the winter in a container, as the roots are subjected to damaging freeze-thaw cycles.

To overwinter containerized plants, protect the container with an insulator such as home insulation. Wrap the pot with the insulation, making sure you insulate the bottom as well. This will help protect against freezing and thawing. An unheated garage is a great place to overwinter containerized plants, as it protects them from winds. If you have to overwinter outdoors, keep plant in a shady location, which reduces the chances of thawing and freezing.

Another problem with trying to overwinter containers is the moisture factor. The soil should have some moisture in it to keep the roots from drying out completely and yet too much moisture can create problems with ceramic or terra cotta pots. The expansion as the water freezes can crack non-plastic containers and even some plastic ones.

Overwintering is at best a gamble, but if you're prepared to do the work, you can improve the odds considerably.

Q: I recently bought a plant at a local store. I have now noticed tiny black flies in the house. What are your thoughts about these little flies and where they are coming from? Are you aware of any products that I can use to correct this problem and rid my house permanently of these little pests? As always, I am so glad that you are there for the great advice.

A: I believe the problem you are describing might be fungus gnats. The good news is that fungus gnats seldom cause much damage to plants. It is the larva that does the feeding and it concentrates on feeding on fungi and organic matter in the soil. It is only when their numbers get high enough that they may feed on the root hairs. If this happens you will notice a reduced vigour in the plant itself.

Permethrins are one of the chemicals that are effective against fungus gnats. The key to controlling these annoying little things is to spray the soil and not the leaves. There really is no need to spray the leaves since the adult gnats are not feeding on the leaves. Look for an insecticide with permethrin, spray directly on the soil and work it in a little.

The key to permanently eradicating this problem is patience. You will need to spray regularly to get all of the hatchings. Spraying every seventh day for four to five weeks is recommended.
