Fall Plants: Care Guide

Many fall plants are easy to grow and require only basic care. Here are some tips for keeping your indoor plants happy as the weather cools in the fall:

Watering, Light, Humidity, and Temperature

As temperatures drop in the fall, remember to adjust your watering schedule. Water your fall container plants less frequently to avoid the risk of overwatering. During prolonged rainy weather, move your outdoor fall potted plants under a roof, where their soil won’t get oversaturated.

Because less natural light is available in the fall, move light-loving plants closer to a window. You can also use additional grow lights to help your plants survive the gloomier months.

Indoor heating can make the conditions too dry for indoor fall plants. They may react with dry leaf tips or curling leaves. To provide the right humidity levels, group your plants to create a humid microclimate, place the pots on pebble trays, or use a humidifier. Don’t mist in the evenings to avoid fungal infections.

Now is the time to prepare your plants for fall and winter. With cooler temperatures at night, fall porch plants in containers need to be brought indoors. You can protect outdoor fall perennial plants in garden beds by mulching them.

Repotting, Soil, and Feeding

The best time for repotting is spring, summer, or early fall, before the plant goes dormant. Repot any plants that have grown considerably during the summer into a 2-inch larger pot to give them more root space.

Stop fertilizing in the fall, as most plants go dormant during the colder months. This is a time of rest for them, when they don’t grow.

Propagation 

Propagating your plants in the fall isn’t advisable, since most plants go dormant in preparation for winter. Wait until spring to multiply and grow new plants.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

Minimal pruning in the fall can be a great way to help your plants grow bushier and to control their size. Trim the trailing stems of hanging fall plants if they’ve grown too long, and prune any damaged or dead stems. Don’t cut more than one-fourth of your plant’s foliage. Deadheading the spent blooms on fall flowering plants will prolong their blooming time.

Leaf drop or drooping leaves are often the result of sudden temperature fluctuations. Move warmth-loving tropical plants away from potential drafts to prevent this. Poor flowering and stunted growth may be due to insufficient light.
