Does a plant that needs to be taken indoors have to be inside my house? Can I just put it in my garden shed?

The shed is not heated, but I can still water the plant when needed.

Plant still needs light...are there windows in the shed? Another point, I take my own plants in when the night temperature falls [and stays] below 40 fahrenheit - so if your shed gets below that [depending on your winter climate wherever you are] then you'll have to make room in the house anyway! Watering is just part of their care--light and no low temperatures are still required.
Reply:Depends whether the plant is dormant or growing in the period when it's in the shed - some lose leaves in winter, and don't need light, but need the correct temperatures, some way above freezing.





If you're thinking of summer time etc, then enough light is going to be needed, to keep it strong and healthy. I don't know your shed and its aspect, so you'll have to consider this.





Some plants have lower light requirements than others, such as Ivies, compared to bougainvillea or bananas which need tons more.
Reply:Bringing it in is about protecting from frost so don't think your shed will be sufficient.
Reply:We need a little more information. What kind of plant is it, and why does it need to be brought indoors? Are you talking about an annual that would die outdoors in the winter? My immediate answer would be 'no'....unless your shed has lots of windows, all plants need light!
Reply:any plant that needs to be taken inside when cold weather comes, needs warmth and light
