Water. The one thing that I need to remind myself is to water my potted plants on a regular basis. The roots of the plants are limited within the soil in the pot and when that soil is dry they have no other source. Plants grown in the ground can grow their roots further just to reach the source of moisture but plants in pots are like animals in cages. Everything they need has to be provided. Water also helps the plants withstand freezing temperatures.
Shelter. Plants that are sensitive to freezing temperatures need protection during the winter months. Plants in pots are easier to move around than their in-ground counterparts. Move them closer to the buildings or position them in such a way that they will get exposed to the southern sun. The days are very short, it is important to allow the plants to get as much sunlight as possible.
Stroll in your garden...it's good for you and your plants.
