Hi all,

I bought this plant in April of this year. I've kept it relatively dry, although watered more frequently during the warmer months, as it seemed to be thriving. As the temperature is colder & there's less sunlight, I've reduced the watering. It's dropping leaves like crazy - up to 10 per day on some days. The ends of the branches were starting to shrivel, so I gave it a little more water, but yet I currently have leaves that have shriveled to nothing. Grrr... Any & all advice welcome..... :)
