| I keep some potted brugs in the house overwinter, and some go into the unheated garage.
On the garage ones, last year I had one drop its leaves and the other one didn't. Funny - there is no window in there, just light when I open the door. This year I have 2 brugs that are still in the ground. I am wondering if I should dig them up and pot up now, or wait until a light frost makes them drop their leaves. They will then go into the garage. seahorse |

| "Bugs like leaves" Don't I know it! I usually don't have too many problems with the brugs (elephant ears are the worst), altho this year I brought a hornworm in on one and it took me a few days to notice. Ouch. So I should let the cold zap the leaves first and then dig them? I am in the part of z7 that is almost z8...but not warm enough to leave brugs in the ground reliably. Maybe a bigger plant would do better than the one I tried. seahorse |

| Just to save you some work- I am in zone 7b- NC & my brugs stay in the ground year round & are beautiful! Where are you located? It may be that you have to take them up- but you sound closer to zone 8 than I am.. Good luck! kasha77 |
