Repotting is needed as soil fertility declines and root systems fill pots. The ink plant from New Granada yields red juice that turns black as it dries. Watering primroses should avoid overfilling the cup or pot to prevent harm. To combat aphids use strong tea from tobacco stems or white oil soap, reapplied in six to seven days.
