Beautiful blooms. I brought mine in the house and I think they are in shock. No blooms yet but maybe sometime.

I have mine sitting in the garage where it stays around 50 degrees I thought I would leave them in the pot and go dormant for the winter, if you do not think it's a good idea please let me know.

Charleen, they will go dormant for the winter season, and you should withhold nearly all water during that time unless they look dehydrated.
They will break dormancy starting in February and that is the time to start watering (and fertilizing) them.

Doris, they should be fine there.

Hi Hetty, I bought mine from E-bay. You never know if names are correct or not like that. But that is what they said it was.

Charleen, have they lost leaves yet? Once the leaves start dropping they are signaling dormancy. The buds will most likely hold on until spring - occasionally they abort during winter but there isn't much you can do about that.
Good luck!

Hetty as I told you I put mine in the garage, when I checked them last night instead of dropping leaves they are making new ones so I put them back in the plant room.

Charleen, yes, cut back on water. They are wanting to go dormant.
Doris, are you intent on confusing those plants or are they confusing you? LOL

That plant is nowhere near going dormant. I'd say keep it going.
