Default Re: How to winterize this palm

I have tried my frost last cloth idea with Christmas lights that are quite warm inside around the stem and also a net around the leaves and the pot. It is lying horizontal and covered in first cloth all around. The cold is just tonight it will go down to 28 or maybe a degree lower.
Hopefully I can build something better having it strand up so I don’t have to lay it down every time there is a frost.

If this doesn’t work for 28 degrees then a hard freeze will kill it since now I can no longer put it in the garage due to size. Will let you know how it goes.
