They have been collected and potted. In FL they are about as dormant as they will ever get IMHO... Myself, I would leave them be as is in partial sun, water as needed and wait. Defoliation would be of no consequence or help. If the one drops and buds so be it. The point is you just want them to live and doing anything other then normal care now would be time better spent on other plants. As with many trees the waiting game begins

Thank you! When you say partial-sun, it's original location was against a south-facing fence, so it'd get unobstructed sun til around noon, and then no direct light afterward - that's how I was planning to set it up here, are you saying I should make it more partial than that? I think you are saying that but just want to be sure, have already got it setup in a position that should be almost identical (in orientation to the sun, and in the solid wall behind it) to its orientation when collected, want to be sure I'm getting you before changing anything! Luckily I could move it on the same wall and make it so it got less hours of sun than it had before, if you're saying that it should get less sun do you think it'd be better to move it so it gets the sun from the same direction as always but just less of it (because the sunlight is blocked earlier in the day), or to move it somewhere that it gets no direct light, but diffuse light all day?
Thanks for the reply btw, appreciated as always! Can only imagine how silly&immature my collection would be w/o people like you to help me lol, I mean my collection is garbage by the standards here but I'm happy with how it's coming along and owe that difference to you guys!!
