Madagascar palms are very easy to care for. You can overwinter them just as easily in the living room as in the dark basement. It is only important that the location is frost-free. What you need to consider when overwintering a Madagascar palm.
How can I properly overwinter my Madagascar palm?
To overwinter a Madagascar palm, place it in a bright, warm and frost-free location in the house. If there is no space available, the palm tree can also overwinter in the dark basement as long as it stays warm enough.
Madagascar palm overwinter bright and warm
It is best to overwinter a Madagascar palm in a very bright, warm location. You don't need to move them in winter.
If you grew the plant outside in the summer, bring it indoors before it freezes. If you don't have space to overwinter, you can easily overwinter a Madagascar palm in a dark basement as long as it is warm enough there.
The plant loses its leaves at the end of the growth phase anyway, so darkness doesn't bother it. The leaves sprout again the following year.
Tip
Madagascar palms tolerate longer dry periods and also cope well with low humidity. You can even grow a Madagascar palm next to radiators in winter without harming the plant.
