Kathy Fewster on Oct 06, 2015I brought mine in last year and placed in a eastern window and watered and it grew long sprouts all winter that I cut off when I took out side last may...It has flowered wonderfully all summer....This year it is going to my basement as my girlfriend puts hers in her garage ,,,prunes it back to about 2 feet tall...and gives it a little water all winter,,so it hibernates but does not die....Good luck..and yes leaf drop age is very normal...I am in Ontario Canada...Helpful Reply
