After babying it all winter, I think it is safe to say we made it. When I got it, it was only about 3" high and just starting to get roots. I planted it in a 4" pot and thats where it stayed all winter, growing slowly and losing a lot of its leaves. Well today I went out and bought a 29 qt patio container just for the brug. Its 19" tall, and I put it in the container, I bought for it. 3 things now:
1. What do I do to keep it from dying now that it is moved to a Larger pot?
2. The pot looks so empty now with only the brug in it. Can I add some small annuals into the pot for now to make it look fuller? (btw, When I went for the container today I got (30) count them 30, Ranunculus 'Bloomingdale Series' plants for a nickle a piece, YAHOO). This is what I want to add to the pot to make it look a little nicer for now.
3. When can I move this container outside and the brug safely live? I live in Zone 5b (Ne PA) and it still gets in the mid 30's here at night.
Thanks

Help with my Brug
I live in zone 5 too and to bring my brugs out I usually start to harden them off in late april early may.I put them on the porch first and then into the shade of a tree,then they get the full sun.As for it dying ,you shouldn't have a problem now with its new home,just give it ferilizer!I've never planted anything in with my brugs but if your going to ,use plants that like lots of water and fertilizer.
