When you say you bring them inside for the winter do they have to be kept in sunlight or inside just for warmth, is there a dormant season for them? I'm in SE PA and have seen some sort of tropicals in the area and noticed their abscence in the winter, just curious as to how much maintenance is required during winter. Also do you have to use pesticides on them before bringing them in? I also see that you have a thatch umbrella. Is that real thatch or the new type made with a poly material. If its the poly material, how do you like it? How is it holding up? Thanks in advance, Uncrichie... [ Edited by: uncrichie 2006-09-22 15:27 ]
