Are you sure it is dying or is it just adjusting to the indoor conditions? I have the same problem with my mandevilla...I have to bring it in...it does OK for a few weeks, then starts to lose all it's leaves and eventually looks like a stick by the end of winter...but then it miraculously comes back to life when I put it out in spring. Overwatering is often the reason for many tropical plants dying that are being overwintered inside. You might also want to get a humidifier if you don't have one. Hope this helps!

I think I was over watering it. Thank you for your advice also. I have a humidifier that we recently bought, so I hope this helps.

Again thank you very much.
