Moving Funeral Houseplants Outdoors for Summer

Plant-by-Plant Guide

• Pothos: Often declines outdoors—variegation increases but leaves brown and yellow. Keep indoors.
• Dragon tree (Dracaena), Peace lily, others: Thrive in shaded outdoor spots.

Outdoor Care Rules

• Check soil frequently; water thoroughly when dry.
• Bring in when night temps drop below 45°F.
• Protect from wind and direct sun.

Winter Warning

Peace lilies are tropical—Indiana winters will kill them. Even southern Indiana is not tropical enough. Keep all non-hardy plants indoors once temperatures fall.
