TROPICAL, CITRUS AND HOUSE PLANTS OVER WINTER

Our greenhouse isn’t just plants! We carry the products and solutions to help you successfully over-winter your favorite plants and prepare your plants for the indoors until spring.

  • Bring outdoor tropical and citrus plants inside as temperatures near freezing and move them back outside if it’s warm.
  • Clean plants and wash foliage on both sides with a damp cloth.
  • Disinfect and protect your indoor plants from future pests and disease with a granular option like Systemic Houseplant Insect Control by Bonide. Controls mealy bug, white fly, thrips and other insect pests for up to 8-weeks.
  • Find appropriate light sources for different plants, whether in a window or with a grow light.
  • Create a humid environment, especially for citrus.
  • Cluster plants together for warmth. Consider using a humidifier or stand plants on a gravel tray with water.
  • Treat spider mites, white fly, young scale and other dormant season pests with Neem Oil, for an all-natural option.
  • Adapt to your plant’s watering needs throughout the season. Plants receiving less light may need less water while other plants may dry more frequently given dryer air conditions and need more water.
  • Bring a photo or plant sample in a plastic bag for plant diagnosis and product recommendation.
  • Consult our gardeners and plant experts with any questions.
