When should outdoor bonsai be moved indoors? Master these 5 points for safe overwintering

Today there is finally a hint of autumn coolness after the hot summer. At this time, for the plants we usually care for, we need to consider moving them indoors at the right time. Because the weather every winter is relatively cold, and some plants are not cold-tolerant, we need to pay attention to keeping them warm when caring for them. But it is not that plants should be moved in as soon as the weather turns cold. We need to do some homework about the plants. Today, the editor will talk with everyone about the points to note when bringing plants indoors. Today we will talk about when it is more appropriate to move outdoor plants and flowers indoors.

1. Move them in after pruning

First, the indoor environment is limited, so plants cannot be allowed to grow in a disorderly way, so they should be pruned appropriately. Second, the weather is cold and the temperature is low. The longer the branches, the more nutrients are consumed from the plant itself. Therefore, in order to preserve nutrients as much as possible while the plant is dormant, it needs to be pruned. Finally, move it into the house.

2. Move them in after disease prevention and pest removal

The chemicals used mainly for disease prevention and pest removal more or less have some effect on people, but many plants and flowers naturally attract many small insects because of their bright appearance and fragrant scent, so before moving them into the house, disease prevention and pest removal should be done first.

3. Move them in before dormancy

Plants and flowers that go dormant in winter must be moved into the house before they enter dormancy, otherwise after entering dormancy, the low outdoor temperature will cause them to wither directly.

4. Control the room temperature well

In winter, everyone uses heating equipment indoors. At this time, attention should be paid to the indoor temperature, because the suitable growing environment for many plants has certain temperature requirements. Too low a temperature will lead to dormancy or withering, and too high a temperature will cause the plant itself to consume too many nutrients, which may affect flowering the following year.

5. Clean the leaves before moving them in

Because outdoors, a lot of dust often attaches to the leaf surface, which easily pollutes the leaves and affects the plant's photosynthesis. So before moving them back into the house, the leaves should be cleaned overall to prevent some bacteria from being brought home.

These are some of the methods we need to use when bringing plants indoors. Doing these things well before moving plants into the house is not only beneficial to the plants' own growth and helps with keeping them warm, but also prevents poor growth due to the indoor environment.
