Those plants at first can be tricky to start.
Try again this spring with Basjoo and plant directly in a well amended spot in your yard. The well prepared planting hole should give your plant a good start.
Go back to your older thread and buy a pup from that forum member in the spring.
In your zone and mine bubble wrap is useless for cold protection.You would either bring the plant indoors or leave it in the ground with a nice 8 inch layer of mulch on top.
There are many good informational youtube videos to watch....pick and choose what you can use and fits your budget.
