Indoor Solano Plants Need Special Care
Autumn is upon Solano County. Winter is around the corner. Night temperatures are hitting the 40's in Solano County. Some indoor plants don't tolerate going below 50 degrees. If you're not sure what a plant can take visit your Solano nursery, of just bring them inside.
Some tips on bringing in household plants:
• Hose down the plant and its pot the day before. Hose off the bottom as well.
• Try giving the moved plant the same amount of light as before. As this often isn't possible, do as best you can. Plants need light and can't just be put where you want them. Solano winters have less day light hours. A thriving plant looks nicer near the window, than sickly away from the window in your Solano home.
Indoor Solano Plants Already Indoors:
• Take them out when it's warm and hose down the leaves to get off the dust.
• Don't leave in bright light if they aren't accustomed to it. Avoid leaf burn.
• Make sure to bring them back in before it gets cold.
Solano temperatures in Dixon and Vacaville get colder, than Benicia, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun and Vallejo as the latter are near the bay.
