My potted tropical plants have been loving this warm, muggy weather, but it actually isn't that far off when they will have to be brought in for the winter. I'm already starting to get mine ready.

.

First off, I keep them happy with appropriate watering. Too often can be worse than too little, so I give my plants a good soaking, then let them get tongue-dragging dry before I do it again.

.

And I cover potting soil with bark mulch to keep it from wicking dry in the outdoor air. The only problem is that sometimes critters - lizards and such - nestle under the mulch, so when I bring my plants indoors I clean off the old mulch and apply fresh, but that's not a bad thing anyway.

.

I use Osmocote (slow-release fertilizer beads) to give plants a dose of plant food every time I water, and occasionally hit them with some Miracle Gro. And by the way, I always use fertilizers at half strength, which is plenty for good, steady growth without pushing the plants too much.
