What to Plant in November

Outdoor planting is mostly dormant work, while indoor plants such as pothos and snake plants need only occasional water through the darker weeks. There is little to sow, so this is a month to rest the soil and plan for spring.

Climate Notes

In cold zones, hard frost is likely, so protect pots and tender plants carefully. In mild zones, bare-root planting and tidying continue. Indoors, keep plants away from cold windows and draughts.

Indoor Plants This Month

Growth has largely stopped, so water sparingly and stop feeding most plants. Group them in the brightest spot you have, and avoid leaving them against cold glass overnight. A little humidity from grouping helps, but do not overwater to compensate for dry indoor air.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it too late to plant a tree?

No. Autumn and winter are excellent for bare-root and container trees while they are dormant, as long as the ground is not frozen.

Why are my houseplant leaves yellowing in winter?

Often it is overwatering. With less light, plants use far less water, so let the soil dry more between waterings.

Looking Ahead

The garden will be mostly dormant next month, so focus on protection and planning. Order seeds early for the varieties you want, before the best sellers run out.
