Brought it in a couple of weeks ago when temps dropped, and I've read that they will drop the outdoor leaves and grow new indoor leaves. I was trying not to worry, but that didn't work. :)
The leaves are getting brown and crispy on the ends. Is this normal?

You can see a small amount if what appears to be new growth but the crispy leaf tips have me worried, I'm doing something wrong.

FWIW, mine dropped all its leaves last year inside under lights.
It sprang back nicely this spring and is doing well.

They don't always drop all of their leaves and I've not seen mine get crispy, they just fall off when brought inside. Don't panic, it will probably bounce back.

Thank you both. It has all new leaves now, looks great. This is the wrong hobby for worrying. :) The bougie cuttings did the same leaf drop, and now look brand new.
