Coconut Palm Winter Care in Georgia: Must Come Indoors

Extreme Cold Sensitivity

Coconuts (Cocos nucifera) suffer damage below 40°F and die at freezing. In Georgia, the pot must come inside on any night forecast below 40°F.

Indoor Protocol

• Bright south window or grow lights.
• Water sparingly; let soil dry 2″ deep.
• Mist daily for humidity.
• Return outdoors only after last frost.

No Outdoor Shortcut

Blankets, lights, or mulch cannot reliably protect a potted coconut in Georgia winters.
