A lot of people have the same problem, I can usually get mine till Febuary
and then they die on me. I hae found that putting an airstone in a tub of
water and then putting the plant in works, and I through a guppy or three in
to help, the plants do need a rest, I would stop the fertilizer but keep up
the light. It is a big change to have lots of fertile water and warm water
and the outsdie conditions to come indoors. You cannot really duplicate
that.
