I cut mine back to about 3 nodes or to about a foot from the soil line then let them go dormant. If winter seems to have come early and lasting long, I may give them a little water in February.

Mine are in the atrium and continue to grow in our mild winter . I do cut back the vines that have gotten messy and over grown .

I had no clue you could bring it back from one growing season to another! We have one every summer, in remembrance of my mom. You mean, we can bring it in and it'll come back to life next summer? Learn something new every day!

Yes, Julie. I have several that I winter over in my heated garage. I cut the vines back to about a foot and continue to trim through the winter. I water once a month, just about two cups to a 3-gallon pot.

I had a lovely one growing on a wall of my previous house and wasn't worried because we have mild winter temps. It was beautiful. And yep, we had many days of lower than average temps that year and I lost it. Am afraid to try again.

I have one on a trellis. One year I brought it in, trellis and all! It was a mess with the dropped leaves, but did survive the winter. It took a very long time in the spring/summer for it to get flowers, so now I don't bother. I can buy them inexpensively at Produce Junction and they grow and blossom like crazy.

I wintered a couple indoors one winter. The dead leaves were such a PITA and the next summer it didn't bloom much. Perhaps I should have cut it back.

Not going to go through the trouble again.

I have kept mine in front of a south window, in a cool room, watered about every 7-10 days. Cut back just to manage the room available. It doesn't go dormant for me. It never bloomed last year after overwintering, and I almost threw it out, but this year has been loaded with blossoms.

It is true, they are not costly, but I just hate to throw out a good plant. Some of my geraniums are nearly 10 years old.

I brought one in for the winter once, but couldn't get it to rebloom the next year.

I realize that tropicals don't over-winter well in colder weather, but I hate how house plants have become throw-away items. Orchids, for example. People used to take pride in their ability to grow house plants and make them thrive.

I have two fifty year old plus houseplants.
