Is My Wintergreen Dying?

Hello, I bought a Wintergreen plant back in the fall, as a house plant. Until a couple of weeks ago it was looking fantastic. Then the berries started to dry up, followed by the leaves. It looks terrible now – can it be saved?

Wintergreen is not really meant for indoors. It likes cool air and does not like hot or dry. Nor does it like boggy, wet soil. It's possible the heater got to it, if you've been running your furnace this winter. If any of the leaves look healthy, you could try propagating it, or find a place for it outside in the ground. You would need to baby it till spring, by covering it if severe weather is forecast.

Here are some care tips that should help:
