As spring progresses, plant enthusiasts may be contemplating the best placement for their houseplants. Experts interviewed by STT suggest that most houseplant species can adapt well to the Finnish outdoor conditions during the summer months, particularly starting from around May. This transition allows houseplants to benefit from the natural light and fresh air that the outdoor environment provides.

Traditionally, certain plants have been categorized strictly as indoor or outdoor varieties, such as clivias. However, it is now recognized that a wider range of houseplants, including all types of cacti, banana plants, and orchids, can successfully grow outdoors under the right conditions. This new perspective encourages plant enthusiasts to explore the potential of their home plants thriving in a more natural setting during the warmer months.

While a glazed balcony can offer protection against storms and harsh weather, it may sometimes become too hot for the plants. Therefore, individuals looking to acclimate their houseplants to outdoor conditions should consider the environment and ensure that their plants are not overheated, maximizing the benefits of outdoor summer growth without compromising their well-being.
