Keep an eye (or a finger) on the soil in containers. It dries quickly during the hot, often arid days of summer. Check pots frequently, even daily, and water when the soil feels dry to a depth of about 2 inches.
-
Plants outdoors grow more rapidly than they do indoors, and they may need more fertilizer; feed regularly, especially those in containers.
-
Periodically flush the soil in pots to prevent fertilizer build-up by watering until the water pours out of the drainage holes.
-
It's best to water tropical plants (indoors or outdoors) with lukewarm or room-temperature water.
-
Check pots and plants for hitchhiking pests before you bring plants back indoors for winter. Wash them off with a spray from the garden hose.
