When it's above 40F I can leave it outside in the sun, otherwise it goes inside. I haven't rebuilt my main grow light yet, so I need to do that this weekend. Also, I've been bringing it into my garage for weeks at night now....and I have no mite problems. The garage has multiple direct openings to the attic. No mites spotted, just a couple of spiders which is expected.
Actually I have 2 spiders living in my shower. One is tiny and I'd never get rid of him. He's so cute. The other is a small web weaver that will go ceiling to floor while I am showering. I just kind of enjoy watching him/her because they make interesting decisions once I turn the water on.
Also generally when you bring an outdoor plant inside, you are supposed to wash the leaves and stems with soapy water. I've had this plant in my garage many times and the rafters open up directly to my upstairs, which oddly leads to my downstairs. I probably will just remove some soil and replace it in case eggs were laid, but I see no reason at the moment to wash the whole plant. I might.
