House plants as outdoor shade plants?

Can I use house plants as shade plants outside? Or are house plants for the inside because they need the shelter?

House plants as outdoor shade plants?
All plants originated outdoors so if you live in a frost free zone give it a try.I live in Sydney Australia and we grow plants outside that others cannot and then when we travel further north towards the tropics they can grow most of the plants outside that we can only grow inside.
Reply:It depends on your garden zone. For example I live in the U.S., Midwest, Zone 5. Every year I move my tropicals outdoors when the temperature reaches 70 degrees fahrenheit. These include begonias, hoya, wandering Jew, philodendron, clivia, certain types of elephant ears, tropical waterlilies, tropical hibiscus and others. Some require shade and others can take full sun. You are going to have to do a little research to find out what kind of plants do well in your area. I suggest talking to your local nursery.
Reply:Most house plants are either tropical or delicate, and won't survive outside depending on your region.
Reply:depending on the plant ,if it not cold out I put mine outside ,but where there is not that much sun.
