Cinta said:Nope that is what I meant that it is not a plant that would look good when you bring it in for the winter which is why it is not good to use as a houseplant. The summer leaves are going to turn brown and drop off.
I would give it a sip of water by sip I mean enough that the soil did not go bone dry. When I put it outside for the summer it would grow green leaves on the stem again. By the end of winter I would only have maybe 4 or 5 green leaves. You have this ugly stem all winter.
The plants I use as good looking evergreen houseplants with fragrant flowers is Gardenia, and Sansevieria.
The one she has looks to me to have shiny leaves...the ones that are not brown. I do not know of any I have with shiny leaves. They look almost like camellia leaves the way they seem shiny to me.
