Hello,

I have a Bougainvillea Vera Purple from Logee's. I think it is their own grafted variety that grows not as a vine, but as a tree / bush. Anyhow, I have done very well with it this summer. However it is now inside in a nice sunny window (I live in zone 6). It is dropping leaves. And they are not even dead leaves. Just healthy full leaves just dropping. Is this normal? Or is the plant dying?

Attached is a photo of it before I brought it in for the winter. Nice and healthy. The leaf drop just started about 3-4 days ago I'd say.
Thanks,
Kristen
