overwintering and leaf drop

17 years ago

I have noticed that sometimes they keep their leaves all winter (in the house), and sometimes not. Depends on light and watering, I suppose.

I have one large plant that I'd kinda like to have it drop its leaves so I can keep it in an area that gets less light (to make room for other plants to stay in the brightest light.)

Is it safe to try to get it to drop leaves? Can I just cut way back on water and light?

Also, do you need to root cuttings right away? How long can they be stored?
