How can you protect plants from frost during cold nights? What simple steps can you take at home to keep plants safe from freezing temperatures and frost damage?
 
Protect plants from frost by covering them with cloth, blankets, or frost covers overnight. Mulch soil to retain warmth and water plants before frost to insulate roots. Move potted plants indoors or closer to walls, and uncover plants during the day for sunlight.
 
To protect your plants from frost, you can start by bringing any potted plants indoors on cold nights, or move them to a sheltered area like a garage or under a covered porch. If that's not possible, cover them with a sheet or blanket to trap warm air and keep frost off. For plants in the ground, use a layer of mulch or straw to insulate the soil and prevent it from freezing. You can also use frost blankets or row covers specifically designed for this purpose, which allow plants to breathe while keeping them warm.
