I recycle the plants after Christmas. I trim them back, put them in the basement, water about once every 2 weeks or so then plant them in the yard in the spring after the last frost and they do well in Cleveland, actually really growing big and vibrant green in August, they will get big if they can grow, 3-4 feet high and taller, they are a bush actually. I've never had the luck of getting them to turn red as they usually go inside too early, this year though we've had an incredible string of warm weather and they have started to turn because of the lack of light. I have mine in a big planter this year and I put a black plastic bag over it and put it in the garage as it's been getting cold, we'll see, I might have a huge red plant next to the tree!
