Shall I take my plants back inside?

Hi, I have a common lilac, californian lilac and a clematis that are in my garden, but still in pots as they are quite young plants. I also have a broom plant planted outside, but this is also very young. I am thinking of bringing those back in, as they are not doing well outside. They all have yellow leafs that are falling off and the broom is totally leafless.


Could it be the nasty weather (apart from the californian lilac that seems to have some sort of bug problem)? Shold they be best kept inside during this weather as they are still young?

The common lilac, broom and clematis are deciduous, the californian lilac, ceanothus, is generally evergreen.


There is a ceanothus that is deciduous named 'Marie Simon'. If yours is not 'Marie Simon' then it is possibly stressed from a poor watering regime whilst it is been in the pot.





You don't say where you are, if in the UK then our weather has been all over the place this season and some plants are starting their autumn leaf drop early.





If it is not possible for you to plant them in their permanent positions then just put them in the ground in their pots until you can.


This will help to stop them drying out too quickly and keep the root system at an even temperature.
Reply:If it were me, I would dig a deep hole and bury them and start all over next year.
Reply:If the leaves are turning yellow then it is lacking a vitamin and also they should have been planted in the ground as they need the space to grow. Otherwise the three plants you mentioned are outdoor plants. Why not call your nursery and see what they say.
