My only mature ** Plumeria was brought in ~ Nov 12th or so. It looked wonderful and I placed it with East window exposure a few feet from the window in my Living Room. It has dropped two leaves, but has a ton more left on (well about 20). They all look fine. It has two branches and the growth tips look very healthy with small new leaves forming. I have given it a small amount of water twice.

Will this ever shut down and go dormant? Or might it just slow way down and retain its leaves? I do intend to give it a bit of water periodically.

(Last year I kept it in my basement under lights and gave it a bit of water a few times - I got it as a rooted plant in August and it dropped all its leaves within a week of delivery and they never came back.)

** I have 2 more - one a cutting and one a rooted cutting that I picked up from Ken. They are in my basement under lights. Both dropped all their leaves. I have been misting them lightly every few days.
