Just stop watering it until you see new growth in the spring

You know what now that I think of it I do believe it die back right after I brought it in the house. You know for winter storage. So I might just have to dig it out and check it. It was a very small tissue culture plant. I mean little teeny tiny thing! Don’t ask me what the variety was! I honestly don’t remember! I just thought that since it was so small to begin with it wouldn’t be able to grow back! I have hope now! So I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing it start to grow again! Thanks again for your help!
