Temperature tolerance varies by species. UMN's September 2026 guidance suggests moving most common houseplants indoors before nights drop below about 50°F (10°C).

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Identify each plant and check night forecasts; plan to bring cold-sensitive houseplants inside before nights approach about 50°F (10°C).
Inspect leaf undersides, stems and potting soil for mites, aphids, mealybugs and other pests.
Remove dead leaves and loose debris and clean gently only as appropriate; never improvise pesticide mixtures.
Keep returning plants apart from existing indoor plants for a period of observation.
Acclimate them to lower indoor light, avoiding sudden harsh sun, cold drafts and direct heater airflow.
Check soil before watering because indoor demand changes. Some leaf drop can be transitional, but significant pests or rot need attention.
