I received a beautiful potted plant which has thrived on the shady back porch all summer. However, I left it out for several nights in the 40's and also allowed some water to collect on the leaves after sraying with the hose. Half a dozen of the leaves are limp and beginning to tear away from the trunk. I've already removed three leaves. This is causing gaps along the trunk where it had been a symetrical plant.

I've now cleaned and dried the leaves and moved the plant indoors for winter. Will the wilted leaves recover? Should they be removed? Will the plant forever be asymetrical? Is there any way to encourage new leaves to sprout?

Thanks for any help from experienced growers!!
