Quick tip: Caring for houseplants in summer

It's summer vacation time! Gradually begin moving houseplants outdoors for the season, starting with an hour the first day and increasing exposure to eight hours over the course of a week to get them accustomed to their new digs.

Then you can leave them out day and night until autumn, but you'll likely have to adjust your watering schedule to account for the drying hot summer sun as well as the rain.
