At summer’s end, indoor plants need attention too

Associated Press  

As summer winds down, we tend to focus on enjoying the last of the season’s harvests, clearing away spent plants and planning next year’s garden. PLANTS THAT ARE COMING INDOORS Houseplants that spent the season vacationing outdoors need a proper transition back into the home to avoid shock. Find the junction where the plant’s top growth meets its root system, and either gently pull the roots apart or slice through them with a sharp knife, ensuring that at least three healthy leaves are attached above each root portion. PLANTS THAT HAVE STAYED INDOORS Houseplants that haven’t left their window perches all summer also will need special care as day lengths shorten and diminished sunlight slows their growth.
