It should be fine....Be sure not to over wtaer it and don't let it freeze. They look really pitaful this time of year when they have been put to rest...I went under the house just to check the bananas and it was kinda sad..(most of the brugs and ginger are there as well)...LOL

Some of my brugs in the cold room are still hanging onto a few of the top leaves. As long as the stems aren't shriveled you should be ok. The worst thing you can do is over water this time of year in our zone.

I'd like to ask for help, too. I have two wagons full of Brugs, and we've been taking them out for the sunny days, and in the garage at night. I think that has to end. Do we simply leave them in the garage, or should they be cut, or leaves stripped? If cut (which seems sad) where to cut, and how much? Wrapped up, covered? The garage is unheated, and I don't really know how cold it will get. I've always had them in S Florida before, and never did anything :). Now, in SC, I'd like to have them live thru the winter. I've read not to overwater, but just what does that mean? Keep the soil moist, or let it dry out between waterings?. Sorry to be so needy, but I became very attached to these guys.
Thanks, Margo

Morning Margo!!!!
You can leave them in garage unprotected if it dosen't freeze... Put a thermometer out and if it gets to cold wheel them in the house or build a teepee over them...LOL There gonna lose there leaves and you will be tempted to water but don't until they are almost dry..As for cuttings here is some wonderful info...

Here is a link that might be useful: cuttings

When I bring my brugs inside, those I want to go dormant get most of their leaves trimmed off. They will put out a few more, but those can be trimmed as well. My thinking is that if they are using up energy putting out leaves, it weakens the plant somewhat. Eventually they will go to sleep......like good children who also eventually go to sleep when put to bed for the night. Some are more reluctant to go to sleep than others and do take longer time to go dormant. That is perfectly normal. Each plant, like each child, has its own "personality".

There was good advice about the watering given above. We don't want the roots to rot in damp, cold soil.

Having said that, I keep my variegated brugs in my dining room, and keep them going strong. I admit to have trimmed them back a little so I could get them inside and not have them stab guests as they come to my table. They too have shed a number of their leaves, but have put forth more and are doing quite well. My cuttings, I keep under lights in the basement, and they have taken off really well now.
