Moving Plants Inside

If you’re moving those patio plants inside for the winter – don’t do it all at once...

It’s not too late to move those outdoor plants inside for the winter – but doing it all at once is like sending them to another planet. A lot of plants will just go in to shock and shut down or die. To avoid stressing them out you should really get them acclimated. It’s not difficult – usually just putting them into the garage or on a porch for a few days first is a good approach.

Make sure to check the leaves for bugs before moving them all the way inside - and if you can – lift them out of their pots to check the soil and roots too.
