Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Bringing 'Snowbank' thru Winter .. My observations, 1 by Abutilon

I have been following the postings growing 'Snowbank' .
But I wanted to give attention to how mine are doing before responding.
So I decided a thread of my own.

Mine have been since October in a cooler 50s F glasshouse without artificial light supplement.
Growth has slowed the winter months. Some lost a leaf or two. But just a few and at the bottom (older growth).
Due to the cooler natural air, leaves have not dried much. None have papered.
A little shrinking to the white edges, though. Probably to the greater growth of the green and reactions to less light.
I have kept watering to the dry side with all my the brugs. Only a little liquid fertilizer once the past month.

Older leaves on 'Snowbank' overall have paled a bit. Possible they may drop as spring approaches and more vigor.
But if so ..to be replaced by fresh new growth already seen emerging. I may just remove the old ones.

I see 'Snowbank' a little sensitive at this point. But nowhere in jeopardy.
Though I think as these plants grow to mature ..the more hardy they will become.

Since fall, I have not artifically 'stressed' Snowbank. No moving locations in the greenhouse.
No repotting. No overwatering, fertilizers, etc.
It seems the less fussed with in their down time ..the better they have done.
