The clocks have fallen back, the nights are growing darker, and now temperatures are starting to dip below 10-12°C, if you have any tropical plants in your garden, it’s time to act if you want them to see spring again.

Overwintering is simply the act of prepping or moving your plants to survive the winter, and as you can imagine, it's crucial for plants that originate from a more tropical climate.
