Can these be used outside for a fairy garden? Will they survive the winter? Thanks for your time. MM

No, they cannot be put outside. They would die almost immediately. They are very small humidity-loving house plants. I made terrariums with them planting them in clear glass containers that I got at the thrift store. I added decorations and they look very nice. There are many excellent articles on the Internet on how to plant and take care of terrariums, and I referenced several of them. Also, you might put them in a dish garden. Again, there are many helpful articles on the Internet on how to plant and maintain dish gardens. I do think, however, that a terrarium setting would be best for these humidity-loving plants.

They ship a random selection of plants, so it is hard to answer your question. It depends on what you get. Some would probably survive outdoors in indirect light during warm months. I doubt any of these would survive a winter freeze. Perhaps if they were covered from the winter elements.

No. They are sensitive to both temperature extremes and lack of water. They are indoor plants. May live if you live in a temperate climate

To be honest I ordered this collection couple of months ago. To this day they have not made it to terrarium. They are in same pots and are doing just fine. I have them for now on my back porch in the shade and water as needed. I think they're great even though I didn't get any of the ones pictured.

Probably. Definitely if you try to grow them outside. They generally make good houseplants--and can spend the winter inside, but I've always found that they tend to die back and go dormant (not always pretty) even inside. I'd wait until spring to plant the first time. You'll probably be happier with the results. You can also call the vendor for advice on this.

Sorry, couldn't tell you. I have them inside my house. They don't appear to be weather resistant.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

I would think they could endure winters, probably last longer if they were taken down though. We haven't had ours that long.

They are hung a few inches above ground so a little snow won't cover them. A significant snowfall will cover them and they will "glow" under the snow unless the snow is quite deep, then they will not be visible.

Yes they can be used outdoors. I have had mine outside for about over a year. They work perfectly, rain or shine.

I wouldn't if you live in the north. I'm in Ohio and will bring them for winter, If you live in warmer areas you probably could but freezing and thawing ,Ithik would damage them. Hope this helps

I placed them outside and they have held up for a couple months now. They'll definitely fade but my dog now uses terrain feel as much as anything so they're worth using outside to get them acclimated initially

Yes, these pots can stay outside during freezing weather. They are very sturdy and unaffected by weather. I have had on of these type pots for about 7 years and no precautions are needed in the winter.

dont use them as a shovel or you could hurt the plant and break the bulb. Thats all I know. :)

No...Don't use outdoors. The shade is not heavy duty....I think outdoor weather might ruin them.

Yes, I used mine as outdoor Christmas lights. Part of a strand did not work, but the rest worked well in cold/snowy weather for the few weeks while they were up.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

They may not last as long as something a little heavier. They may also discolor in the sun. We used them indoors under Poinsettias, they worked great.

ours are on the lawn inside a screened in gazebo,,, lasted well under the snow all winter, I think they will be fine in the sun

I wouldn't think so, they are not rated to be used outdoors. That being said, you could probably enclose them in some sort of plastic bag or something, to keep the rain and snow off.
