need help w keeping plants thru winter
Hey, ladies, I live in Midwest (Mo) & move most of my outside plants to the garage for the winter. Never have problem with freezing even w the garaged doors open periodically. But lose a percentage due to lack of water, bad me, this year I want to try something different. Have several large pots of asparagus fern, spider plants, as well as boston ferns, elephant ears, & Swedish ivy. Am I better off trimming them back drastically & watering occasionally? As it is now, they shed badly, make a mess in garage, & don't help dh disposition. Most come back in early spring but would like to keep down shedding & help early growth. Know I have some gardeners here as well as quilters so thought someone could answer this. Thanks.
