They can tolerate periods of dryness with no harm. Drafts or improper watering may cause the lower leaves to drop. If the plants looks straggly, prune the longest stems back as far as 2 inches. If new growth does not appear, reduce water and withhold fertilizer.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the flowering cycle is complete. Repot when plants look too big for the container.
