Most common houseplants thrive outdoors during Finnish summers

Many popular houseplants can flourish outside in Finland’s summer climate, according to plant experts interviewed by Finnish news agency STT.

As spring progresses, gardeners often wonder whether indoor plants can be moved outdoors. Experts say most houseplant varieties adapt well to Finnish summer conditions, though they recommend gradually acclimating plants to outdoor environments starting in May.

Traditionally, plants like Clivia have been kept indoors in Finland, but experts note that cacti, banana plants, and orchids also thrive outside during summer. A glazed balcony can protect plants from storms but may become too hot for some species.
