When bringing plants inside check the underside of your pots and check them with a flashlight when it is dark. I have big problems with slugs getting inside if I don't
Great tip!
Good morning. I'm in sunny Southern California. In the desert. The nights in winter can get chilly.
3:34 when bring plants inside...in the soil needs to be considered. Pests know change in season and they know to go in the soil until they get inside. I don't do the inside/outside dance because pests are no joke. Thanks for sharing great video tips Drea! Have a super weekend!
When using a humidifier, people also want to run fans to help circulate the air. That will help cut down on fungal issues.
Great video! When I was a new plant parent, I did every step that you mentioned. Now, I just bring them inside and put them where I need to put them. I'm a bad plant parent. 🤣🤣🤣
I do clean them and treat them.
I live in Seattle and yes it gets very gloomy sometimes
Love hearing you explain things your very good at explaining things
I appreciate that!💚
Speaking of humidity, I live in the southwest Arizona desert where our wonderful climate has humidity usually of 10% except during the summer monsoon season. I have lots of plants in my house and take some of them outside for our fall, winter and spring seasons. None of them show any effects , inside or out from the low humidity. Maybe it’s because I only have common, easy to grow plants but it’s amazing how plants adapt and really want to live.
I add a ton of grow lights when I bring inside my Hoyas, and I turn on the humidifier when the heater comes on. So in that regard, the light is as intense; it just has fewer hours in a day. I am in North California.
You're a great plant mom 💚🌱🌿🍃🌵💚
Good morning Drea, this video was so helpful to me in many ways. I was keeping all my grow lights for all my plants on 🌿🌵💚💐 24-7 for the last several months. Granted many did grow quickly, but now I realize that some might have got burnt. And as soon as you mentioned that too much light could cause the leaves to fade and turn a little yellowish...I realized my Peperomia Hope was probably getting too much light, so I moved it and turned off all my grow lights for the day😊
You're going to do great once you set a lighting schedule for your plants! I have my grow lights on for at least 12 hours a day and sometimes up to 16 hours a day. Those days are far and few between I have my lights on a timer. I have one set of lights that isn't on a timer and if I'm not home when the timer goes off, those are on until I get home. My plants have had grow lights for over 3 years now and are LOVING IT! There are a couple of plants that grow as much in the winter as they do in the summer, however, I do run a large humidifier and fans in the fall, winter, and part of spring. If you're able to keep them on a set schedule for the lighting, it will help tremendously! Good luck 💚
I always have to water more in the winter, when the heat is on it dries my plants out quicker. The sun is different, I can place my plants closer to the window without a sheer between the plants & window & they don't burn. In the summer, the sun will fry them in my West window without a sheer. So I completely agree with u, winter is different but it's different in different ways for different ppl in different areas. Finally someone who gets it! Thank you!
Thinking of bringing some plants indoors for the first time, so this video is super helpful with GREAT TIPS - thank you 🌱✨
Glad it was helpful!💚
Thanks for sharing all your plant 🌵 ⭐🌿💛🌱tips and tricks with us 👍😁
My pleasure 😊
very informative. love all your videos. im in arizona just moved from huntington beach california. Yeah, lost a lot. but not giving up.
Drea, another thorough video, as usual, and so timely. I noticed that you are on your way to another 1K subscribers in only two weeks, so the word about your channel is getting out in a big way - well done! I do the indoor/outdoor shuffle with many of my plants during the growing season, so for the past several weeks, I have been treating them before bringing them in for the winter. I live in Ohio and my plants benefit so, so much from the mid-west summertime climate, that I go through the effort and risks, just to see the extra growth they put out during the three or so months. That being said, in addition to spraying them down with a pest preventive spray, I use a systemic on ALL of them before moving them inside, mainly because of thrips. They are the worst pest for transmitting life-ending viruses from outside. They can even spread disease to plants that haven't been outdoors during the growing season, so I apply the systemic to the ones that have only been indoors, as well. It is a time-consuming, costly endeavor for me, but, well, its what I do to keep them healthy - its not for everyone, I know, I am nuts. And I totally agree with you, especially the light factor. Even if all the other variable conditions in the indoor environment are favorable, if they don't get the proper light, well, plants just don't thrive.
You’re not nuts, you’re just appropriately cautious💚
Some of my plants grow as much in winter as in summer in the house. And we keep our house at the same temperature year round
As I tell everyone who has house plants, the size of the pot also needs to be taken into consideration. Smaller pots will dry out faster vs a larger one. Same with how much sunlight the plant receives and the temperature inside your home. Check the plant using a moisture meter. Water as needed.
Hello from the nook. Good job! I agree with everything you said.
Thank you!💚
I love this informational video. Taught me a lot🌹
Very helpful, Drea! I admit that I am a little worried about the Seattle Gloomy Winter here, as I have collected the majority of my houseplants since last March. But I will just play it by ear and pay attention to my plants and if need be order some grow lights.
It thought it was very interesting that you talked about the south-facing windows getting more light in the fall due to the angle of the sun. It's so funny that I actually noticed this today for the first time while I was out on my deck and observing that the part of my deck that is closer to my house (protected by the north side of the house) is shadier than it was during summer. I thought, "wow, how interesting," and realized it must be the angle of the sun changing - which is particularly noticeable as far north as I am. This also explains why I have some leaf-burn on a couple of my plants that so far have done great in the south-facing window. Thank you for your explanation, it confirmed my suspicions, and I've now moved those plants further from the rays of the sun.
Also great tip on cleaning my windows! I literally never thought of that. Thanks so much for the insight.
Glad I could help!💚
Thanks for this video. So many misconceptions out there! Appreciate this video. Lots of good tips! House temp totally makes a difference. Also, running humidifiers. The heat makes your plants dry out faster if also in a lot of sun. Humidifiers are friends for both plants and people. My sinuses say so! LOL.
Yeah, starting to do the plant hokie pokie here in Wisconsin since we have less than 12 hours of daylight. Last winter I did not turn on the humidifier and everything seemed fine. I was concerned when we had a couple of weeks of sub zero temps and humidity in the 20’s but only my calathea seemed to have an issue.
You're good at what you do...thanks for the info 💋❤️🖤🌹🎀
You are so welcome💚
By the way, Happy Fall🍂🖤🍁🧡🌾🌻
Great video Drea. Thanks 👍
Very informative and I love it 💙💛💜🖤💚🧡❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!💚
Well done Drea. Thanks much!
You're so welcome!💚
Love 🥰 you and your channel 😊
Thank you so much!!💚
Great tips as always.
I live in Ohio today's it's in low 50s tonight will be in 30s so kicked furnace on o 60 my plants sit under grow lights because I have no windows that plants can be in
I put heat reflectors on my vents throws heat away from plant go out inside of up
Everyone of my plants are throwing out more leaves and have babies
✅💚👌🏻🪴
I asked what state you lived in and then you told us……TEXAS!
What state and zone are you in?
Texas and I’m on the line of zone 8a and 8b
Thanks this was a helpful video for this time of year.
You’re really knowledgeable and informative. I learned a lot of things I didn’t expect to. Like clean leaves absorb light better, that you can slowly adjust plants to different light levels, and that plants kind of sleep or rest in a way. Cool.
