How many if you move some or all of your house plants outside for the summer? I live in Memphis where it is very hot and humid. Some do great outside. My issue are all the spiders and gnats that end up making their homes in my babies. What does everyone do about it? Just a few of my babies 💚

I move some outside and will work on one at a time to treat them for bugs. They get moved to the garage first and then into the house. Sometimes it takes weeks to get them back inside.

I’m slowly moving mine back in the house. I have 3 in the garage right now I’m trying to de-bug.

I did last year and plants thrived. But all the bugs in the fall were a nightmare so I'm not moving anyone outside this year.

I’m kicking myself for taking mine out. My one pothos is full of holes 😩

### Mimi of Dragons 🔥 commented on 2026-06-29

What should we use to get rid of the bugs. I’m so mad at myself right now.

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-06-29

Bugs are why I don’t move any of my plants outside. Also the Las Vegas heat would kill everything including me. 😜

i have a flf and a prickly pear outside, central FL. neem oil and essential oils diluted in water, spray all over the plant once a week-ish. eucalyptus, peppermint and or spearmint, and rosemary oil are most effective.
