Plan Ahead for Bringing Your Patio Plants Indoors For the Winter
Get your patio ready for the winter by planning now what you will do with the plants you want to save through the colder months.
Many of us love to adorn our patios with beautiful flowering plants and foliage during the spring, summer and fall. But as the temperatures cool down all over most of the country, preparations must be made to keep fragile plants from damage.
Don’t Wait for the Frost Warnings To Bring Patio Plants Indoors
If you wait until the frost warning arrives, you will find yourself scurrying around trying to find places to put your plants indoors and you will probably end up with a few unwanted critters indoors such as lizards, bugs and maybe even a little frog or two.
Make sure you have plenty of plastic saucers, porcelain or metal flower pots without drainage holes or plant stands ready to hold the plants you bring indoors. Sitting plants directly on your flooring can cause damage to the surface – especially to wood floors, but also tile can incur damage from dampness and staining.
Outdoor Plants Look Great Indoors
Decide where some of your plants can be placed to spice up your indoor décor and make sure you have protection for table tops. You can purchase new decorative pots and transplant some of your flowering plants to add a bright spot to your indoor rooms, at least for a little while.
