I bring them in the house, I spray them good with the hose, when they dry off I spray with a bug spray just as extra precaution, no bugs all winter. three years ago I had 101 plants, my back room was crowded, then that winter I had heart attach and had to get rid of them so gave most of them to my daughter, none last year this year with the help of my dear friend William I have a few more to take care of. I just absolutely love them.
