# Hello fellow plant people! I had a question. At what temperatures can…

Hello fellow plant people! I had a question. At what temperatures can a plant start getting frost damage? I have a couple plants near my rear door and as it’s getting chillier out, I’m worried that they’ll be damaged but they get great light there. Currently the lows that the plants are experiencing are 40s+. Should I move them now or is it safe until temps go lower?

most plants lowest temp is like 40’s you can try insulating by putting a towel or blanket by the cracks

and since i’m assuming it’s warmer in the house they should be alright

It really depends on the plant. Your more tropical plants like 60+ degrees. My croton experienced frost with 40 degree temperatures

My main concern at the moment is my large dracaena trifasciata. It sits right next to the door that my wife likes to keep open in the morning
