Hi I'm new here, too! Living in Tropical Houston area, I have some of the same plants pictured here growing outdoors. They need protection in the winter and become my house or garage plants. My Pink Arrowhead Vine is pretty large this year. I wonder where it will go inside the house, come winter? My croton sits under a large pine tree and with some extra protection it spends the winter outdoors. My biggest issues are the 2 beautiful 15 ft ficus trees. They are too tall for the garage now. I might have to prune them back this fall to fit. Oh, the horror! My plumeria comes in to "rest" and the larege cane begonias will join the crowd in my living room. Last year, the Peace Lily, didn't make it back outside. I came to love where it was in the house! This year I have a new philodendron/Gordon's gold that will make it in so I don't lose it. So come winter we will have houseplants. The rest of the year, they love it outside.
