What are the requirements for overwintering? I have 2 seedlings that I don't want to loose.

Anyone have experience with Caesalpinia pulcherrima?
You will need to keep it indoors, water lightly over the winter and bring it back out into the sunshine in May - it's a tender zone 8-9 shrub.
Thanks Kay, will it go dormant or do I need to keep it warmer and in the sunshine?

It will lose all its leaves and go dormant.

Thank you!
Look closely and you'll see a spider battling off a butterfly on a Caesalpinia pulcherrima --spider would lash out as the butterfly fluttered too close.
What a great shot! Mine is dormant, in the basement. I can't wait to bring it outside this coming spring.
