We only have a few weeks left before we officially say goodbye to summer and welcome the fall season and fall transitions. Aside from cleaning and decorating your home, it’s also best to create a houseplant fall checklist and routine to tackle your houseplants’ needs accordingly.
If you moved your houseplants outdoors this summer, we advise you to check the nighttime temperature and bring your houseplants back inside when the temperature reaches below 55°F to 60°F.

Location

- Avoid placing your plants near cold windows, drafty areas, radiators, vents, and heaters.
Routine Care
- Water less! Check the moisture of your plant’s soil with a moisture meter or with your fingers.
- Water only when the soil is dry or when the top inch of the soil is dry.
Prevention Care
- Monitor houseplants for pests and diseases. Treat sick or pest-infested houseplants immediately.
