We have a palm in our garden. What do I need to do to bring it inside?

all my tropical plants are in pots and I just bring them in the house. So if it is in the ground you will have to carefully dig it up and put in a pot.

Re-pot in the next size container with drainage holes and fresh soil,spray the palm down with horticultural oil ,bring indoors and place in bright but indirect lighting

To add to the above statement, keep the pot in a brightly lit spot or near a window. Make sure you inspect the plant for wasps and/or roaches, insects, prior to bringing it in the house.

To really make it happy, buy grow lights and put them around the palm. It will love you.

Google the type of palm tree you have and follow the links on care.

A sunny room but not direct sunlight.Keep dust off the leaves and spray the leaves with water once a week and of course water the plant 2 a week forced air will dry out the plant hope this helps

I have 2 Palms.........they are my babies........they love where they are and how they live. Lot's of light, under the skylights and warmth of course,. Watering when they need it......about once every week in a half......depending. One is full and small, 24 inches and the other is clear to the ceiling almost......an extended ceiling. They are green and beautiful......they love all their friends. I have 30 + plants. Plants are one of my niches!! They make a Home, homey and welcome!

If you supplement it with a grow light, have the light on for the amount of time it had full sunlight when it was outside. If it was more shaded and you have it in the strong light all did it may not be real happy and get sunburned. In that case a bright window may be all it needs. My hibiscus pots (5) liked to be more shaded outside and did better with a few hours of late afternoon and evening sun. They were happier and became more bushy and had 8 to 10 flowers going at a time on four of them. One pot was a late sell out rescue, so it is just recovering from repotting and now starting to put out flowers. You may need to get a water meter to make sure that you get the palm watered when it needs it due to the winter dryness in the house. This has saved our houseplants and the plants we bring in for the winter from starving from lack of water.

I brought mine (3 large palms) inside last year but I won't do it again this year because of something I didn't anticipate---- my cats used the pots as a litter box and also dug out the dirt. I had such a huge mess all fall and winter that I decided to leave them out this year and see what happens. I won't give up my cats for my plants! I'm hoping that since they are now 2 years old and large that they will survive cold days. I will certainly let you know how they do!

Roaches love plams, suggest you debug before bring in.

here's my tip....bring it in, mostly ignore it and keep it fairly dry. Tropical plants have a dry season for winter...in cold climates our indoor temps are pretty much that. They naturally die off a little bit, just cut the bit that dies off right before you put them outside. Mine are so happy to be back outside they start perking up right away.

You got great answers, don't have much to add....Debug for sure, lots of light (natural or not), water (not much) I also love indoor (and outdoors) plants, have many everywhere there is light...

Great idea...thanks

This is definitely worth a shot.....(but you don't know my cats haha)

The roaches hide in the plant itself as well as in the dirt. I would not remove the dirt from the root system, at this time of the year it will stress it out, Get soapy water and spray the heck out of it then rinse, this should get the critters out if there are any, down here in Houston there are always some hiding. good luck
