But still water thoroughly. We're fighting a fungal problem so keeping the root zone clean is very important - even if the water during (relative) dormancy keeps it from blooming, getting the environment cleaned up is #1, #2, and #3. It is a high-light plant (near a window would be good, will get both light and a bit of a chill)
So, that one can go dry between waterings in winter but still benefits from water after it does so.

And most leaves fall off, which is not of concern, correct? I remember when I first had one, all the leaves fell off and I thought it was a goner and trashed it.
