Indoor Japanese Lanterns

Question

How do I take care of the 2 plants I just received for my birthday? I plan on keeping them indoors until I can plant them outside in the spring. The leaves are looking quite limp and the lanterns are deflating.

Typically these plants don't perform well indoors. Depending on your USDA zone, you might consider planting them outside now. You could also save some seed to plant next spring.
