Q: How can you winterize outdoor potted plants to winter houseplants?
A: Blast the plants by spraying them with water to knock off all of the bugs, but not all of the leaves.
Remove salt build-up and insect eggs by placing a hose in the pot and allowing the water to run for about an hour. Do this twice a year.
For small plants, spray with insecticide and cover with a plastic bag overnight. When the bag is removed the next morning, the plants are debugged and ready to be moved inside.

Awesome tip dave! I am sure it will come in handy this yr:)
Wish I would have seen this earlier! I brought my plants in earlier today. I haven't seen any critters yet but in Texas you are bound to see anything! We even had a snake in our house last year-but it wasn't from the plants. Stupid me left the back door open.
