I worked for over twenty years in the world of retail and commercial horticulture. I learned to truly appreciate these life forms. My goal was to find out how to keep them healthy and beautiful. Now I can share each plant's own unique instructions. As I go along in life, I'll sometimes take a picture of a plant I see, and let you in on all the specific secrets about that indoor plant. ~~ from the Producer and Host of "The Indoor Garden", a 90's TV series

Once again, it's time to bring your summering plants inside
When fall is just around the corner, it is time to bring your houseplants indoors. They do get a boost from spending some time in the summer's nurturing environment. Once the outdoor temperatures are getting into the low 50's, it is wise to bring them back inside. Most of them will tolerate close to freezing temperatures but better not to wait too long.
This is one of the easiest times to re-pot and clean them up. I have found that drenching them with water prior to returning them indoors, helps prevent soil insects from coming in with them.
