Question of the Day

Q. I placed a poinsettia on a piece of wood furniture. The plant developed white flies, so I threw it out. However, either the flies or the plant left a sticky residue on the wood furniture. I have tried various wood cleaning products with no success. I do not want to damage the finish, which I believe is polyurethane. How can I clean the plant residue off?

A. Mix a solution of vinegar and water. Generally, one tablespoon of vinegar to a quart of water is sufficient. Dip a soft, white cloth in the solution, and rub a small area at a time until the surface is dry. Always rub with the grain.

Tips and Tricks

Seeds Need a Light Diet
Start seeds indoors before transplanting outside. An ordinary florescent light fixture works for growing seedlings. The intensity of the lights should consist of one warm white and another cool white or daylight to give the right amount of light. They should be kept 3 inches from the tops of the seedlings.
