Tropical Plants for Long Island Gardens: Overwintering Options for a Sunny Den

Tropicals That Can Summer Outdoors, Winter Indoors on Long Island

With a south‑facing den, you can overwinter these tender plants:

Pentas – flowering perennial
Dwarf Bougainvillea – colorful bracts
Mandevilla – flowering vine
Super Dwarf Cavendish Banana – smallest edible banana
Majesty Palm, Lady Palm, Areca Palm – elegant indoor palms
Yucca – architectural, drought‑tolerant

All need bright indoor light, reduced winter watering, and pest monitoring (especially spider mites). Move them out after last frost.
