In segment 1 Joey and Holly talk about what you need to do before you bring your potted plants in for the winter.
5 things to know before bringing potted plants in

Think about space and lighting
1. Only bring healthy plants in
2. Do your research
3. Bring them indoors while the windows are still open and the temperature indoors is about the same as outside. They'll adjust to the change in temperature and humidity more easily if the change is gradual, rather than waiting until a frost is expected and then bringing the plants into a dry, heated home.
4. Give favor to your favorite plants
5. Take cuttings instead if you lack space
6. Some tender perennials like a period of dormancy in winter. You can overwinter potted lavender and rosemary in your garage or basement. If the temperature doesn't go below 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above 40, they won't freeze but will stay dormant. Just don't let the pots dry out or stay overly wet. Water them only when the soil becomes dry a couple of inches below the surface and allow any excess to drain out.
