Today I brought my houseplants back inside from my south facing patio, at the end of their summer holiday; they went out in May: spider plants, aloes and a small umbrella palm. Last year I put out my alocasia too, but it got sunburned and has only just grown back some leaves, a year later; I didn't want to risk my devil's ivy either though perhaps it would have been ok, as the umbrella palm was. But everyone is back inside, looking fresh and healthy, and it's nice to see some green in the house again.
Interestingly, I don't water my aloes at all: they get rained on when I put them outside for summer; they go out there with very flat leaves and come back very plump, ready for another dry winter.
