Crunchie cleaning

Yesterday, I did a crunchie cleaning in my greenhouse-crunchies are plant leaves that turn brown and crunchie and are easy to clean off the plant-when you clean crunchies your plants look rejuvenated. The hot sun dries the pots so fast that the plants take their moisture from the bottom leaves-I know-I need to water them more often.
I am taking my false african violet apart and have lots of cuttings started in pots. The mother plant was beautiful but is dying a slow death, it seems. She is still producing lots of flowers, though.
I noticed some mealy bug on the jade plant flowers, so I will snip most of them off and give the plant a misting.
Mealy bug is nasty and can invade your plants overnight. Also noticed some sticky aphids on some new growth ivies, so have to treat them as well. February is always the month that bugs come alive in the greenhouse and I must be very vigilant. I am trying to grow these ivies for a friend. Her daughter was married in our church in October and they left beautiful floral arrangements on the altar. There were 3 pieces of ivy in the arrangements, so I rooted them and they are growing beautifully with lots of new leaves and shoots. I actually met the bride's mum in the grocery store today and told her about the plants and she was thrilled about it. I will keep them till nicer weather arrives.
Today - sunny and cold - no snow or ice - quite a wind. Not a good day to walk. The wind off Lake Ontario hurts your face.
I watered the poinsettias at church. If they weren't clustered together, they would be awful looking. I need one more week till Ash Wednesday....then they will be composted. I brought home the mini cypress trees. I also bought a deep salmon pink african violet at IGA for $1.50.....what a bargain....regular price was $2.99 and they marked them down. I have it in my living room beside my cyclamen plant and they are almost the same shade of pink.
I am on light duties this week as I have an inflamed rotary cuff and so I am babying it so it will get better before gardening season which will be here soon.
