I've had the same problem with some habs that I brought in from the garden.
Leaves were dropping left and right for about a week and a few were
yellowing but that stopped after awhile. For the most part, the rest of the
leaves are healthy and it seems to be starting to produce some flowers so
hopefully it will survive now.Will have to wait and see.
Anyone have any good hints on the best way to bring a transplanted plant
through the winter?
