You can always grow tropical plants indoors in a warm sunny place, making sure that you keep the soil well-drained to avoid root rot. But some tropical plants can survive outdoors if you are able to recreate tropical-like conditions.Click to see full answer. Also to know is, when can I put potted plants outside? Put them outside Most houseplants be put outside between May and September. Timings do vary around the country and from year to year, so to be safe, wait until about 2-4 weeks since the last frost. If your garden is exposed, then you may also choose to wait a little later.Subsequently, question is, what temperature can plants stay outside? Outside temperatures can vary greatly from indoors as well, and since the majority of houseplants originate from tropical-like regions, they cannot tolerate cold temperatures or anything below 55 F. (13 C.), especially at night. Beside this, can pothos plants live outside? If you live in USDA growing zones 10 and 11, your pothos plant will survive outdoors. In areas of South Florida it is not uncommon to see pothos, with very large leaves, climbing up trees or covering large areas of ground. Pothos is not particular about soil and will pretty well take care of itself after planting.Why do tropical plants have large leaves?Large leaves are also poorly adapted to hot desserts, because they tend to overheat during the day. Large leaves also allow tropical plants to capture more sunlight energy and together with a ready supply of water are able to convert this energy readily into rapid growth.
