So... it usually doesn't freeze here but we are expecting it possibly. I just put broms in my oak tree this year... will they be ok or should I try to take them down? I'm near Houston...
Thanks!
Broms in my tree and freezing weather
Mine stay out all year and they do fine. Sometimes they even produce several babies during the winter. I would leave them where they are. They seem to be really hardy.
Cool. Thanks Nema!
Many of mine survived the SNOW we had last year and I'm a bit south of you.
If you are worried and don't want to move them then you can just through a white sheet over them and tie it in place. That helps to keep the frost from burning the leaves but is still light enough for them to breath and get a bit of light,too.

I am Brom ignorant but think they are beautiful . Didn't know they could be planted outdoors, thought they were an indoor plant. Now, can they be grown in my zone 7 hot, dry summer? Would love to plant some but am afraid our summers would be too much for them.
I rooted billbergia and neo's in "pockets" in my pecan trees a couple of years ago. The billbergia have gone crazy. The neo hasn't bloomed, or maybe I missed it. It's producing pups. All have survived the cold temps.
I am a little further south than you are but they should do fine as long as the roots can stay warm.
Will post a photo later tonight!
