I don't bring it inside in the winter (I've only had it for 1 winter) . This past winter it maintained its leaves all winter long and picked up right where it left off when the spring warmth started. I got the plant (my first philo) from a friends mom who bought a house on Padre Island. There were two of them out front of their house where they were in full sun all day and constantly were in bad health/scorched. She dug them up and gave me one of them. She did a very thorough job of hacking back the roots and left only a small root ball. I am honestly amazed that it is even doing this well, this fast--given the circumstances. She has hers in her giant window-filled living area which faces the water and it gets bright indirect light all day, but mine is doing better than hers. I didn't pay any attention to the offshoots when I got it because I was so focused on getting in potted and healthy.
