Q: Should I move my houseplants outside during the summer?
A: Your house plants will be more healthy if you put them out in the summer. The key when moving plants outside is to check the temperatures. If your nighttime temperatures are above 50 degrees F and the danger of frost has passed, you can begin transitioning your plants outside. Place the plants in a shady spot for the first few days. Protect them from wind using screens made of burlap, shingles or canvas, or by placing them in a protected area. Gradually expose the plants to longer periods of sun.
If you are going to plant the house plants into a garden make sure you plant them either in the early morning or in the evening when it is cool. Planting them at these times of the day will prevent shock.
