I have brought alot of my plants inside because its too cold out side for them now. The problem is some of them are too big and I dont have the room in my house. So I put them in the basement. Do you think they will be okay down there?

I don't know...If the temperature is the same as in your house then they should be fine...I have a huge one I brought in and it is here in my office...I water it and it is doing fine...When I put it outside it really grew well....Give it a try and see what happens...

Thats what Im going to do because the basement is the only place I have. I know they love the warm weather outside.

There are a lot of variables involved as far as plants in the basement. If it's a plant that needs sunshine then no, it should be kept in a southern window preferably. Also some plants need warmth more than a basement provides, unless the basement has heat vents. I don't have that so all my houseplants stay upstairs. I set them in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, and also in the office. Pleanty of room for all mine. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I do have a couple of hours of sun in the basement but no heat. And I have no room upstairs for these big plants. So they must go in the basement or just leave them outside.

If they're perennials they should be fine in the basement. Perennials have a dormant stage to get through the winter, so they will die back somewhat, and they don't need much light, heat, or water during this time. Then when the weather warms up again they can go back outside to be revived. It does depend on the types of plants though, without knowing what they are I don't know for sure the best way to overwinter them.

As long there are still sun light in your basement. If don't your plant will not grow well, and not green enough. I also had some plant in my room before, and after I moved it outside with a small pot, the colour of the plant become more bright than before.
