Transcript: House Plants for Outdoors
Have you got a shady outdoor area that's just too dark for most plants to do well? Why not move your house plants outdoors? They do very well in low light conditions, and the darkest outdoor shade is just right for them.Perhaps it's a very dim porch, or an area under some trees that just casts too much shade. You can make a really attractive container by mixing house plants together to really beautify such a spot as that.
You want to mix plants by using various colors in various types of foliage. It takes a very broad-type foliage plant such as this pothos that does well. Any variegation or stripes in the leaves is an added bonus. And then mix in some color.
If you don't have plants that bloom well, you can use plants with attractive colorful foliage such as this dracaena. I also like Aztec grass, which is a relative of monkey grass or lariape. It does well as a border plant, but it's very much at home in a container with house plants. Let me show you how. It's really quick and easy.
As easy as that, you've got a really colorful container made mostly of house plants that's attractive and will thrive in any shady location.
