My indoor oxalis - is this going dormant?

I have a lovely indoor oxalis all summer, was in leaf when I got it around Easter. Has flowered profusely until a week or two ago. Now some of the leaves are turning bright red and falling.

I think (please correct me) that they go into a dormant period - in which case what can I expect - total leaf loss? Do I let that happen or cut it back?

and what do I do then in terms of best position, light and when it will re-grow?

many thanks

It looks very happy! I’ve had mine several years and some stems and leaves drop and whither occasionally rather than the whole plant going dormant.

Thanks @Etinoxaurus i think it’s happy! Some bits have gone leggy but it’s still doing the whole open/close thing.

i’ll leave it alone for a while and not do anything drastic! Thank you.
