PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 - Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.

Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are KZbin, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s KZbin channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her KZbin channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.

Who puts their indoor plants outside? And more specifically which ones do you prefer putting outside?

[@elizabethbroadfoot8692]

Ficus tree does well!

[@Free_Falastin2024]

I put everything from succulents and cacti to delicate shade loving plants outside. My home get a lot bigger in the summer as I turn my backyard into another living space. If you have a lot of plants like I do then the extra space indoors is welcomed.

[@tamarad4146]

I'll put the yucca outside.

[@briteddy9759]

I have put all my houseplant outside. They live on my front porch which has an overhang and provides shade and some wind protection. It does not protect from squirrels who dig in anything they think are loose dirt!

[@prqnnien]

I didn't realize beneficial nematodes attack so many things! I'm definitely going to move some plants outside now!

[@GardeningInCanada]

They do! I love them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKTJd6dmqsmfm6M

[@Free_Falastin2024]

This is a yearly practice for me. Everything goes outside, even my shade lovers. It's probably the best thing you can do for your plants other than water appropriately.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Haha yes! Makes a major difference doesn’t it

[@user-sk4lu7wq9m]

Thank you for such interesting and useful information 💚

[@GardeningInCanada]

Woohoo!

[@joymychoice]

Thanks so much for your videos! I have learned alot from them. I live in a dark house that really isn’t suitable for plants. 😕 We have tinted windows for climate control. Most of my potted plants live outside on our wrap around veranda. We live in Queensland, Australia. My few indoor plants are in LECA. We get about 2 weeks of serious Winter minimums around the zero mark. There aren’t many care videos about keeping outside potted plants. I wish there were more. 😕

[@GardeningInCanada]

I’m glad you’re enjoying them!

[@SL-pr1lw]

Love moving plants out to my balcony for the summer! Hoya’s definitely go out in hopes of getting some blooms and then usually things that aren’t too big/leafy so they’re easier to clean and watch for pests when they come back inside. I also move out anything that’s struggling with the threat that they either get it together or they don’t come back inside in the fall!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Haha yes! Hoya flowers 🌸

[@sofiaespedal8383]

Ouu I neeeeded this video!! I’ve been wondering which ones I can leave out!

[@GardeningInCanada]

That’s awesome! Perfect timing hahaha

[@anitatyvm]

My part of Canada gets 20-30c during the day but it's so dry here, the warmth leaves as soon as the sun sets, dipping down to 5c. I wish I could give my plants an outdoor vacation but I would need to bring them back in every night. Great tip on sprinkling DE on top of the soil when bringing the plants back in!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh five degrees! That’s way to cold

[@EverythingPlants]

Great information!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Glad you enjoyed! Do you bring any out?

[@EverythingPlants]

@@GardeningInCanada like you said....a few I'm not that attached to haha

[@bezjakmarlene]

Can you do a video on Pon (lechuza pon) as a substrate - instead of soil, with soil...? and/or a video on Pon vs Leca? please, please, please :)

[@GardeningInCanada]

I definitely need to lots of people have been asking about it

[@Zennie371]

You’re great! 😍😍😍😍Thank you for sharing! What kind of vegetables can you grow indoors!

[@GardeningInCanada]

not a ton pretty much a skeleton crew

[@heatherkrueger5550]

I have designated plants that I bring out every summer, including an asparagus fern, some Ivy, And just this year I propagated some wandering plants for outdoor planters, and brought my snake plants outside as well. I do use neem oil on outdoor plants to prevent them from getting eaten by white flies, and I will also spray them before coming back in the house. This year I think I will add diatomaceous earth to the soil as well.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Love that list

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

Wondering if u can do an updated video on these houseplants outdoors ?also what houseplants can safely be put in outdoor direct sunlight? My dumb cane, evergreen , and snake plant are in full shade outdoor and they are growing new leaves like a jungle!

[@DragonflyenAmber]

I put a few outside, we are in Toronto and it hasn't been consistently above 15 at night yet. Succulents are the only things that won't be going outdoors, other stuff will when it warms up enough.

[@GardeningInCanada]

That’s awesome. Succulents and mealy bugs are never nice

[@annetonge9925]

I wash the plants off and change the soil when I bring them back in the house

[@GardeningInCanada]

Yes! Very important

[@kendravoracek3636]

[@Bons_Eye]

A few years ago I put a spider plan outside and it doubled in size. So this year I'll be putting more of them along with Pothos in the shade and see what happens.

[@GardeningInCanada]

I honestly believe that

[@Zennie371]

Thank you for sharing!😍😍😍😍 can you grow vegetables indoors during winter!

[@GardeningInCanada]

no :(

[@blujay8442]

This summer I'd like to try bringing a few of my houseplants outside to see how it goes. I actually had to purchase a greenhouse tent and lights to use indoors because I'm in a temporary living situation with wildly insufficient lighting. I'm thinking about trying to bring the tent outside as it does have a PE cover so sunlight would be able to reach my plants. I thought this might be a good way to prevent some of the issues like exposure to wind and other weather that could be harmful, and to trap humidity for my tropicals. What do you think of this idea? Would you only recommend a setup like that for the hardening off process, or could this be an appropriate environment for the whole growing season? I would love to give my plants that extra boost of sunlight so their growth can really take off.

[@dixie2881]

I put some on the back porch which is closed- in but is all glass. I do put tradescantia outside but I give them away in October in plant swap, they are beautiful but I can’t keep them alive through winter. I have one heart leaf philodendron outside and tons of bugs run out of the pot when I water it so I won’t put anymore out.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh that’s really nice to have that sort of set up

[@hollygolytlee]

what do people do about the rain? How do you deal with say a week of rain? The plants will get waterlogged, right? Even with well-draining soil and raising the plant off the ground, how do they manage with unpredictable weather? I'm already thinking I may have to bring them in if there's a lot of rain forecast which could be a real pain, especially if it happens to be when I'm out of town. Be really curious to hear how people handle this.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Generally speaking the extra wind, sunshine etc the little extra rain makes zero difference

[@beckythebealge]

Brand new plant mom here. I got some NemaKnights and am wondering if you also treat preventively with them all summer or just when you bring them inside in the fall?

[@GardeningInCanada]

Allll year ahah. i love those things

[@sheema9525]

Can someone please tell me what should I use to prevent bugs when bringing the plants indoor?

[@PlantWithSophieVlog]

Learned so much from your video. I tried putting my Dracaena outside in shade but still the keaves got burned.

[@GardeningInCanada]

That’s awesome

[@rulistening7777]

Voice Coach critique might raise veiwership

[@GardeningInCanada]

too much work

[@saphire82]

After you bring your plants back inside for the winter, do they kind of go on a decline like with leaves dying or do they stay as big as they were after the rapid growth?

[@donenglish7572]

I'd love to do that. Unfortunately, living in London near students means you can't keep anything outside if you don't want it to be stolen or destroyed.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh no! That’s sad

[@ngandy1000]

Another question, where do you recommend getting nematodes? Fungus gnats killed off 6 of my wasabi plant starts and I don’t know how to stop them. I’m in the US.

[@GardeningInCanada]

i have a video on them with links. but homedepot sells them

[@tammyprovidence1497]

I usually bring my boginvellia out but I am tired of the leaf drop so I may just leave inside this summer lol

[@GardeningInCanada]

It will help

[@ngandy1000]

I have wasabi plants that I bring outdoors in a shady area when it’s good weather and they do really well. But why is that? Curious about what the difference is in growing them indoors under a grow lamp and outdoors in the shade. Is it the spectrum of light, wind, or rain that makes them grow bigger?

[@GardeningInCanada]

It’s a major combination of stiff

[@mindydiaz9015]

How often and how much do you water your aloe? Mine is almost dead I am not use to succulents.

[@GardeningInCanada]

I need to do a video on the aloe I have. But less in the winter and wayyyy more in the summer

[@mindydiaz9015]

@@GardeningInCanada yes please I am getting so much mixed info from water every 20 days to 2 days. They are full sun but mine are sunburnt. Noone has the same information as the other its tiring!

[@johanniegagnon5837]

I am taking some plants outside this year (snake plant, ponytail palm, crown of thorns, zigzag cactus) because they don't look too tasty. However, I have a groundhog with a bottomless stomach, amd squirrels that love digging in my planters, so I'm scared of bringing anything too "tasty" looking.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Haha uh oh. That’s irritating but also kinda cute 🥰

[@heidischeck3523]

If predatory nematodes are added to larger outdoor pots, do they live in the soil over winter or die off?

[@GardeningInCanada]

In outdoor pots they will die off unfortunately

[@tobruz]

Hoya here gets tons of afids

[@GardeningInCanada]

And mealy bugs

[@carlycolville1165]

Last summer I decided (without doing any research) to bring my pothos outside. No hardening off, right into the sun and heavy rain. It did not go well to say the least! The leaves were scorched and after a year of trying to nurse it back to health, it still is in rough shape. All its attempts at new growth turn brown. Obviously I know better now, but what can I do to bring back my scraggly brown pothos? Poor thing didn't deserve this mistreatment 😅

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh no it wouldn’t at all

[@lindam9018]

I think I'll have to put my calamondin orange tree outside as the sun is now too high in the sky to shine in on it and it has a gazillion tiny oranges on it that need to grow. A few have fallen off recently, so I am guessing that's what the change in light has caused.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh yea most likely

[@beverlynelson1015]

Where can I find predatory nematodes?

[@alligator_pie]

Some houseplant topicals don’t like full sun and will end up with burned leaves in one afternoon. I learned that the hard way 😂

[@GardeningInCanada]

Yes all of them will if they have been inside. I like to harden them off over a few weeks time period

[@alligator_pie]

@@GardeningInCanada As a new gardener, I think one of the gardeners mantras is “I’ll try it that way next year!” ❤️

[@GardeningInCanada]

HAHAH love that ❤️

[@dymondwillow2]

Don't move inside plants to outside. But I am the one dragging the outside plants inside for the winter to, you know, 'save' them. They get forgotten, dry up and die.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Haha that’s a fair thing

[@MichaelDomer]

No thanks, with such strict rules in Canada when it comes to pest control, I refuse to take them outside, and increase the risk of infestation.
