I have had the same plant for a few years now, and its getting big. I have never cut it back for the winter. I just took it in and tryed to keep it watered.

I wanted to know, now that its into the October month, and its getting time to bring it in, would it be ok to still cut the plant back before I took it in for the winter? Would it bother the plant? Or would this put to much stress on the plant at this time of the year?

Every year when I bring it in. The plant does ok and as the winter goes on, the leaves start to drop and by spring it looks a mess, and after being out in the spring weather it starts to look better right away. I was just hoping that bring the plant in cut back it would help the plant stay nicer during the winter.

thanks for any help
