1 . As the cooler days of autumn arrive in the northern part of the world, people are clearing out old plants and planning new gardens for next year.     1    

If the plants have gotten larger than their original containers during their time outside, you can replant them into larger ones.     2     And replant them with fresh potting soil, and then water them. If you are having trouble removing the plants from their containers, or pots, check to see if the roots have come through the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. If they have, gently pull or cut the extra roots to help remove the plant.

You can then divide plants like spider plants and flamingo flowers into two or more individual plants. Firstly, shake off any extra soil carefully. Secondly, find the connection between the root system and the plant’s top growth and pull apart the roots gently.     3     Be sure that there are at least three healthy leaves attached to the root system of each new plant. Lastly, place each new plant in its container. Be sure to use fresh soil mix. Water the plants well until new plants form.

All the house plants that spent summer days outside should be moved to a shady area for a week before going inside for the winter season.     4     Continue to water regularly during this time.

After a week, look for insects on the plant, especially under the leaves.     5     If you are still worried about insects, you can spray the plants with Neem oil mixed with water. And complete the move inside before temperatures drop below 12.7 degrees Celsius.
