Oh rats!  Well that counts me out.  I know better than to get plants that
need to come inside in winter.  I don't even bring my traditional house
plants inside in winter.  And this year we actually did freeze, so my spider
plants on the back porch look really pathetic- not dead though, so I know
they'll come back.
Thanks for the advise.
Theresa

I kind of doubt it, Theresa at least not in a permanent outdoor
location. While it's very popular here, it is popular mostly as a plant
that can be brought in if it gets really cold [for us, that's below
freezing].
