And if you can grow them here, you can grow them anywhere in the country. Many of our house plants come from the tropics, so they'll appreciated the summer vacation outdoors. Just remember that you slowly acclimate them to the light. That way when cold weather threatens we can simply lift the plant up, move it indoors and bring it out again to enjoy next year. Here's how it's done.
First step is to dig a hole large enough to accommodate the pot.
Now before we sink the pot we're going to wrap the bottom up with some nylon stockings. This will cover up the holes on the pot but still allow good drainage. What we want to do is keep the worms and pest from burrowing into the potted plant. Plus it also keeps the roots contained. Now we'll place the plant into the hole.
