How To Bring Houseplant Indoors For The Winter
Sounds simple enough; pick up the houseplant pot and bring it indoors. There’s a little more to it than that, if you want your houseplant to live through the winter indoors.
If you have kept your houseplant outdoors during the summer, to suddenly bring it indoors and changes it’s climate will shock the houseplant, often causing the plant to drop all it’s leaves.
Temper your houseplants to avoid shock by bringing them only at night for a couple of weeks when the temperatures begin to drop, but still remain above 55 degrees. Set the houseplants back outdoors during the daytime, but for less and less time each day.
This adjustment period from outdoors to indoors should keep your houseplants thriving all winter.
