| Hi everyone, I have 3 brugs now that I got from Country Gardens... Serendipity, georgia peach, and dr seuss. I want to know if I can leave them outside overnight now. And what is the lowest degree above 32 that I can? I am getting tired of dragging the pots in and out and also I am worried about bugs getting to them, I guess there is no way to avoid that, but should I be spraying them with something? I have one noid that I have been putting out and it seems like every time I do i get a hole or something in one of the leaves. Am I worrying too much?Thanks in advance, Ellen |

| Hi Ellen! Welcome! As far as putting your brugs out, the leaves will get damaged from the sun anyway. So you can strip your plants of leaves. I know, sounds drastic, but the leaves will grow in acclimated to the sun. As long as you don't get freezing temps, they should be OK outside. I have some of mine out and we've been close to freezing a few times. Theresa |

| I'm in 7a and mine have been outside for a couple weeks. We've dipped into the upper 30's a couple times with minimal, if any damage. I think you'll be fine and like Theresa said acclimating them to natural sunlight will scorch the foliage anyway. |
