Title: How to overwinter a Bizzie Lizzie
Post by: Lindsay on November 27, 2008, 07:40:22
I have two beautiful plants that have been outside in pots, but with the temperature overnight dropping to -2°, I have brought them inside. Where can I keep them overwinter?  I know they need sunlight, but will they survive in the warth of the living room, or do I need to find somewhere unheated?

They have been so beautiful this year, it would be a shame to lose them.

they should overwinter fine. The thing to watch out for is spider mite. If the plants are too big, try taking cuttings (in water). They should root easily enough, even now

Thanks RT - I hadn't taken any cuttings as I thought it was too late in the year.  But I'll start some cuttings off today and hope!  :)
