If you haven't done so yet, it's time to bring houseplants indoors in preparation for cooler weather this fall. Before bringing them indoors, wipe of the leaves of your houseplants and inspect for any bugs that may be under or on the leaves, and around or in the soil of the pot.
Why do some people take their houseplants outdoors in summer?
Houseplants are often tropical plants and love humidity. The high humidity we have in Nashville lends itself to a wonderful environment for houseplants to grow and flourish in a covered area outdoors from May to early September. If you decide to bring yours outdoors next spring, be sure to place them in a protected area from wind and a covered area (such as a covered deck or screened-in porch) so you can control how much sunlight and water they receive.
