Houseplant Care

3 Tips for Bringing Houseplants Outdoors this Summer

When the suns shines less intensely and temperatures drop, the natural world slows down. Winter has set in. This is our quiet cue to slow down and rest more during these shorter days and longer nights. The same is true for your houseplants. Offering your plants proper care during the winter season isn’t a huge amount of work, but it can make all the difference for growing a thriving houseplant collection come springtime!
