Can you keep plants in garage?
Potted plants will do well in your garage if they are insulated. If they are not, then you may have to take some extra precautions. One of the precautionary measures is to make sure that you place something between the pots and the floor. ... Watering needs to be done keeping in mind the size and the type of plant.
How do I store my garage plants for the winter?
The first option is to place the pot in an unheated garage (or other unheated but protected spot). The protection from the building will be enough to keep the pot from freezing too hard and to protect it from freeze/thaw cycles. Wait as long as you can without risking the plant before placing it inside.
Will plants freeze in garage?
Even an unheated garage or shed is typically enough to keep tender plants in an above-freezing environment. Potted tropicals and houseplants should move inside even if temperatures don't drop below freezing. Many of these suffer damage even at 40 degrees.
What temp is too cold for plants?
The general rule of thumb is that most plants freeze when temperatures remain at 28°F for five hours. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Seedlings, with their tender new leaves, often give up the ghost when temperatures dip to 32-33°F. Tropical plants have differing low-temperature thresholds.
