Many Happy Returns

Tree and mantel garland-Tuck variegated ivy plants into holiday greens. Roberts's secret: Remove plants from 6-inch pots and secure soil and roots in a freezer bag tied with rubber band. The roots can be easily shaped and tucked into holiday greens and tight places to hide. Just pull on tension of rubber band and add water to keep moist.Plants last like this through the season and give a look similar to holly. Cut greens will dry much more quickly.
