The leaves did fold down in a couple days, but that was about two months ago. The leaves started turning brown prior to that. Last year this time of year they stopped growing for a couple months because we only get a few hours of day light.Im hopeing i can get it figured out soon because idont think they'll last a couple months or until the sun returns. I also tried cutting a few leaves off but it started pouring out water so i got concerned and quit.
