we got a light frost the other morning and my two brugs in pots wilted from the cold, but each have new growth since then so I think they'll be ok.
but my big question is if I leave them outside over the winter will they survive? I brought one indoors for the winter last year and it got spider mites real bad so I am reluctant to bring it in for fear of the same thing. But I don't want my brugs to die over the winter.
Thoughts anyone?

I'm so sorry, but I don't think there is ANY way a Brug would survive outdoors in your zone. Why don't you take a cutting of the ones you want to save (or several just to be sure) and keep them in water over winter. At least then you would have a chance of growing them next year. Good luck with them.

I agree. There is no chance your Brugs will survive outdoors over the winter.
