Randa, I'm not an expert at all on overwintering because I haven't had to do it yet, living in the climate that I do now. From what I understand, there are two ways to go. One way is to keep them growing throughout the winter with lights and heat, in which case the leaves stay on, and the plants get watered when they need it. The other way is to let them go dormant with no light or heat or water. In that case, the leaves fall off naturally or get removed completely. If you are going to keep yours growing, you might put them outside during the day, if you can, to get some air circulation and sunshine. I think Paula is in Texas in your same zone. Here's a link to what she does: http://www.plumerialady.net/dyncat.cfm?catid=3186 Go to Yard and Garage to see her pictures. Emerson is in Texas too.
