Wintering over my Eugenia topiary....

[lesa]

When I bought these beauties in the spring- I had little hope for them... I really didn't think they would make it till fall. However, they grew beautifully (I trimmed them up several times) and now it is fall. They can handle zero frost. So, I have to drag them in the house. I am going to spray them with Safer, in case they are harboring any "outside" bugs. Other than that- is there anything you recommend?? I figured no fertilizer, and minimal water over the winter...

Lesa I believe you meant to say they CAN'T handle frost and you would be right. Any frost at all will damage them severely. They are a semi tropical plant. They make beautiful topiaries. They are both fast and densely foliaged. I would give them the brightest light available in the house. Outside they like full sun. They aren't very "buggy" except for psylids.
