There are many ways to make sure that your outdoor plants are ready to move inside. You can start by repotting them, pruning them, and giving them plenty of time to recuperate. In addition, you should take the time to check for pests and to transition them to the indoors.

Pruning

Pruning is an important part of maintaining your plants’ health. When pruning, you can shape and control the growth of your plants to achieve the look you want. This process can also help to prevent problems in the future.

During the pruning process, you can remove dead or damaged branches and leaves. However, you should be careful not to destroy the plant completely. In most cases, you can simply leave the main stem intact.

While the exact procedures for pruning houseplants vary depending on the type of plant you are working with, some basic rules apply. The right tools for the job should be used, and you should always disinfect your blades before and after using them.

If you are pruning a woody plant, it is best to use sharp scissors to cut off dead or diseased parts of the tree. Avoid using blunt shears. These tools can be difficult to clean up and may even damage the branch or stem.

Repotting

Repotting outdoor plants indoors can be tricky. There are some easy tips you can follow to get started. This will help you keep your plants healthy.

First, check to make sure your plants aren’t overcrowded. Many houseplants need a little extra room to grow. Also, check to see if your plants are drying out or have root balls that push out of their pots. If your plant is growing faster than you can handle, it may be time for a repot.

Next, make sure the pot you’re using has drainage holes. This will help prevent excess water from pooling in the bottom of the pot.

Using a coffee filter to cover the drainage holes will also help prevent any soil from leaking out.

Another tip is to use a small shovel or trowel to break up any dead or broken roots. This helps the plant settle into its new home.

Inspecting for pests

When you bring outdoor plants indoors, it’s important to inspect them for pests. Even though these plants are meant to be in your home for a short period of time, they still can be attacked by pests. Fortunately, you can do a little bit of research to determine the best ways to protect your plants from these bugs.

Most reputable nurseries will do a thorough inspection of your plants to ensure they’re healthy. This will help you detect any problems before they become a big deal.

Keeping track of your plants will let you know if they’re getting enough light, air, water, and other important nutrients. If you notice signs of trouble, such as yellowing leaves or a wilted plant, take action to get rid of the problem.

Give them time to recover from low humidity

When moving your plants from the outdoor to the indoor environment, you should give them time to adjust to the new light and humidity conditions. This will help ensure your plant’s health. If you have any plants that need pruning, you should prune them before you bring them indoors.

Another tip is to group your plants together and increase the amount of humidity around them. This will prevent the tips of your leaves from turning brown and curling. You should also check the plants for insects and other pests. Removing these pests from the soil can be helpful in reviving your indoor plants.

In addition, you should prepare your plants by using Sevin Ready-to-Use. The sanitizer contains microorganisms that will help kill bacteria that may affect your houseplant. Avoid misting your plants unless you are sure that there are no pathogens.
