5 Ways To Prepare Houseplants For Fall

5 Ways To Prepare Houseplants For Fall

Summer may still be hanging on, but your plants are already picking up on the seasonal shift. Shorter days, gentler sunlight, and cooler nights are little signals that it’s time to slow down. Early fall is the perfect moment to help your houseplants transition smoothly, so they can stay healthy and stress-free as the seasons change. Here’s how to get them ready:

Give Your Houseplants A Pre-Fall Check-Up

Plants will start to need different care as fall starts to take hold, so now is a perfect time to take a quick check on your plants to prepare. Look at the leaves. Are they yellowing? Are there old blooms? Trim them both away. Can you see pests? Time to quarantine your plant. Focus on quick tidy-up tasks to make it easier for your plants to put energy into staying strong. 

Repot Your Plants That Need It

Early fall is still a good time to repot your plants. Grab a recycled repotting mat, and get to work! Add a good dose of Enrich Powder to increase the health and resilience of your plants as colder weather starts to move in. 

Stay Aware Of Changing Watering Routines For Your Houseplants

As the days change, your houseplants will naturally start to use less water. If the weather is warm, there isn't a heap you need to do differently. But be aware of the dropping temperatures, and start to scale back as needed. 

Think About Adjusting The Position Of Your Houseplants

As you prepare for fall, your plants will likely need to shift position. Think about where you might move your plants to maximize bright spots and minimize cold draughts as fall and winter sets in. Pre-planning your houseplant position can help make the transition seamless!

Consider Bringing Balcony or Verandah Plants Back Inside

Some of those balcony plants might need a bit of extra care and attention as the weather turns. Take a look around; are there any that are particularly vulnerable? You should start to increase the dose of Enrich Powder to boost their resilience to stress, and make the transition to indoors as easy as possible.
