First of all, thank you for such a thorough discussion on what needs to be done in the various scenarios you mention. The sun comes right through the blinds and the plant probably gets sun for at least 6 hrs of the day. I don't like how hot it gets so I raise the blinds later in the afternoon so it doesn't beat on the plant. As you say though, I should keep it open so the plant continues to receive the sunlight. There is a patio that overhangs the south window so it's probably best to leave it where it is. I also will wait until spring to repot. The plant was a gift and I thought it was really crowded when I saw it then in August. I know watering can be an issue too so will try to follow your instructions. I will print out your instructions and try to follow them come spring, and then decide what to do about repotting. Most likely, you will hear from me at that time before I attempt to do anything ;-). Really appreciate the time you take to provide suggestions. I can tell you care alot about these plants.
