Cold New Basjoo Wintering Questions

Hello,

Right now my new basjoo is in my living room. It's in a pot 2 ft. around and 2 ft deep. It is approximately 3ft tall.

Been repotted (upon arrival to my house) with perlite, spagum moss, and miracle grow soil.

Watered a little bit upon repotting.

Three leaves left, (originally had four) two getting brown and one still green.

Stalk still green and looking good.

Temp in here is about 68 and it gets some light from windows (sun is on the other side of the house at this time of year) and some light from the overhead dinning room and kitchen light.

Am I doing the right thing? It was a pup that was dug up and separated in Nov. and potted.

I keep seeing posts about green sprouts and the like.

Can I expect this plant to remain like this until spring, or should it be producing new leaves? I don't mind it to look half dead (although I know it's not) until spring, but I don't want it to die either.

I live in Ohio and temps outside are now finally in the 20's & 30's.

Thanks for all the help.
Michele
