If I want to move my snake plant and ZZ outside on a screened in porch for spring and summer, what do I need to know about pest control??

You can get pests both inside and outside. The screens will help reduce the numbers. Most of my plants sit outside 8 months. I let nature handle it with beneficial insects like ladybugs and lizards/frogs. I avoid pesticides, if possible. I have to check everything closely before I bring them inside for winter to avoid bringing tree frogs and lizards into the house. I’m in zone 9! 😂
