I have the theory that I reversed my growing season here in Utah. In the summer, my covered patio south of my house blocks light from the high sun. The AC in the summer keeps cooler night temperatures and lowers the humidity to about 30-40%. This seems to slow growth and I have had more root rot issues. I’ve found that winter seems to be my plants' peak growing time due to the sun being lower in the horizon therefore reaches further in my south facing window. I also run humidifiers in winter when the heat is on reaching to about 40%-50% humidity. Trying to mitigate this by adding grow lights everywhere I can for the summer. I'm curious if others have had similar experiences.
This is terrific, Tanner, thank you! I like your theory regarding repotting in fall/winter. As with you, waiting til spring/summer seems the logical choice and for exactly the same reasons. I'm a fan!
Thanks Tanner I guess I better get started. Glad I have a 'hospital' room to quarantine them in. I hadn't thought about that. The last thing I need is to bring something into my new collection.
Greetings from Charlotte, NC where our temperatures are still fairly warm and we will have daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s for the next two to three weeks. Many thanks for your tips and information, as always. Winter of 2024 was mild for our area and I believe they are predicting another mild winter for us again this year. I had so much growth and flowering last winter on my houseplants. The plants did not seem to notice the colder days and nights. Sometimes we just get lucky. 😊. Take care and happy growing!
Hello from Prosper, Texas! We have also had some mild winters, which has been nice. Keep in mind, indoors it's not so much about the temperatures-but the light changes that always happen in the winter!
Thanx 4 the thorough vid. Just another example of "there's ALWAYS something new 2 learn". Was given my 1st plant, a purple passion ~1971. This vid cleared up ALOT of misinformation & backed it up w/ some GREAT common sense/ scientific FACTS👍🏼...I saved this vid in my "newbie" file to pass your GREAT vid on to others👍🏼
What about the soil? Ive notice when bringing my cordyline inside it tends to grow yellow mushrooms any advice on how to prevent them ? It never gets them outside
Mushrooms come from soil that is consistently damp and doesn't have a lot of airflow. Reduce watering frequency and you should be good to go. However, mushrooms are not a bad thing in houseplants.

@@colthenrie1631 yes this is quite common, especially in homes with a lot of tree coverage whose leaves drop in winter.

Hello from mid-Missouri! I have several cacti, specifically a bunny ear cactus, is it safe to use these methods on them as well?
