Thanks for the input here. Just went out to bring in my plants since it started getting down to 43 degrees at night and discovered to my horror that my fig tree which looked absolutely fine last week is dropping all of its leaves! So I went to see if anyone else has tried this without a greenhouse, and going on what you all have said here, I'm going to assume (hope!) it just decided it was winter. I'll repot it and put it in the basement and check on it every once in awhile to see if it's alive and if it is, in December start watering more and bring it up under lights. (?) If you don't hear from me again, it just died Sad Thumbs down I'll try to remember to get back here and let you know what happened if it lives! Smiling

That's it in the center, surrounded by some of the other refugees from summer camp that are obviously in much better shape...


Go with God.
