Tips on moving pots from outdoor to indoor
As the weather turns cold, the vacation of warm weather plants ends and they must be transferred from the open space to the closed space of the house, this transfer is not an easy task:
In this article, we review 5 points that you should follow when moving plants indoors.
1. eliminate pests and insects; When it’s cold, you want to move the plants inside, but the insects have to stay outside. The good news is that you won’t need chemicals. Some insects hibernate in the soil, so to save the soil, just add soap and water solution to the soil. To transfer vegetables, such as peppers, just plant them in new soil to keep them away from insects. As a precaution, you can also water the new soil with soap and water solution first.
2. Prepare them for warm weather; Transferring plants to a closed space gives them a big shock. So, don’t wait too long to transfer them. Move the plants indoors two weeks before the first cold snap, and note that the closer the indoor temperature is to the outside, the easier the plants will acclimate. You can gradually increase the temperature inside after a short period of time so that the plants do not get a severe shock.
3. enough light; Although you may think that your house is bright, many plants suffer from the lack of light when they are brought inside and their leaves turn yellow. Therefore, it is better to place the plants that need a lot of light behind the window, in direct sunlight, and place the plants that tolerate shade a little further back.
4. Moisten the plants; It is better to place a tray of pebbles and water under the pots to create the moisture required by the plants. This does not mean that you can water the plants more, in fact it is better to water them less, because there is not enough light in the winter and the growth of the plants decreases. Keep the pots away from heat generating devices, as they will dry them out.
5. Let your plants hibernate; A lack of light is enough of a cue for plants to go dormant, so when you move them indoors, stop fertilizing and let the plant go dormant.
