Great post.
In my many years of plant keeping I have always taken them outside when appropriate and brought them back in when necessary. This consisted of mostly tropical plants. Such as aloe, Jades (crassula), some ficus and many, many Euphorbia (my potted drug of choice and what truly got me into plants outside of planted aquaria). It always seemed to me that the outdoors were where plants were the happiest. Isn’t that what everyone thinks?
I am joking above a bit. I have many years experience with “house” plants as well as submerged plant growing as I love a planted aquarium. So perhaps I’m marginally more knowledgeable than your average box store shopper. Add a little adhd to the mix and here we are.
It is only this year that my husbandry duties have finally expanded to leaving some specimen outside. I now possess deciduous pre-bonsai maple/oak sitting in pots that I am eagerly awaiting to get to next spring with to see what transpires.
