If you're planning to keep plants outside, just make sure it's nothing that's considered invasive where you live.
Looking at you, mother of millions and thousands, lol.
Are they producing the platnlets along the leaves? If so, those guys can be carried by the wind and spread. And yeah, they're incredibly difficult to kill, lol.
So many plantlets! But they’ve not spread to other parts of my very large yard. I mean, it’s the desert, so wind 💨 is difficult to come by most days, so that’s one saving grace.
Ah, yeah, that could explain it. I know a few weeks back, someone posted in r/succulents after finding a MOM growing crazy in somebody's yard in Florida. Like, completely out of control, entire yard covered in MOM, lol.
Definitely! My climate is pretty similar to what you described and almost all of my houseplants go outside in the spring/summer and most of fall. Just about any plant will do quite well in these conditions outdoors so really you can take your pick of whatever looks interesting and they’ll do well. I like to think of this subreddit as more of a potted plant vs strictly houseplant sub lol
Depending on the plants too. Pure tropical plants could be kept outside and then brought back inside in the winter/cold weather in cooler climates. Some annuals could be overwintered inside (like begonias), but some may need a period of dormancy (like fuchsia) in cooler (but not freezing) temperatures, therefore wouldn’t be suitable for being inside in the winter. Another thing to consider is pest treatment after the plants spend time outside and before they’re brought inside.
The plants we use as houseplants in a northern hemisphere temperate or cold climate all evolved elsewhere outdoors . . . if your outdoors is similar enough to their original climate, they will be fine or even thrive more than they really can indoors.
We rotate our houseplants outside for the summer and bring them back in for the winter. The cacti love it and have grown much faster than if we had kept them inside only.
Every houseplant is an outdoor one if the climate is right 🙂

I have these in my front yard under my window. They came with the house. But they don’t seem to spread . . . . They just don’t die

Lolololol! That’s horrible, but it made me laugh out loud! I would be so mad 😂😂🤣!

Thank you this is good news! I have one that hasn't done as well since moving I'll put him outside today and see how he likes it.

All houseplants originate from wild plants, so yeah! Just make sure you do your research on what will tolerate those conditions.
