Why did you bring them inside?

I was going to tell you it's nothing to worry about as both of mine have been shedding like it's spring, but we're talking inside now. I don't do inside plants except for the 18 in the front window. Inside does not comput for me.

I will venture this guess. Mine are dropping leaves like mad, and this is not a normal behavior. My original plant has so many leaves you cannot appreciate the stem at all. But in the last two weeks I would say it has lost over 10 leaves and this is a plant that is not 10 inches tall. I have a new one, that I think might be a Thai type. The blooms are three times the size, but are cream/chartruse. I am still learning it's rythms, and have no idea what to expect. I am still surprised it's alive. I bought it at Grocery Outlet for under $5.00 and it was sopping wet and diseased looking when I brought it home. It's the holidays, I had to give into the Rescue Urge, it had been denied the whole entire year!

Denny, I would chalk it up to change of humidity and temp. Don't worry, keep them on the watered up side (good drenching once a week) with fert thrown in regular, and you will have blooms telling you it's fine before you know it! This is a most reliable plant. Mine has NEVER stopped blooming since I brought it home! If I could only figure out how to load up pics I would show you what I mean. (Denny, some help with pics here!)
