I know when plumerias start dropping leaves, it's a sign of dormancy. No watering etc. I have a 6 foot tree, now placed indoors in front of a sunny south facing window. It has three branches from the bottom old trunk, sort of like a crepe myrtle would do? The two smaller branches have lost all their leaves in obvious dormancy. But the one tall branch has most of it's leaves still, 12-15 of them. It lost maybe 4-5 leaves from the bottom but that was all/ Do I treat this plant as if it is dormant? Or do I water it because the main tall branch has leaves? Thanks in advance.

Leaves of the tallest branch:

Here are the three branches at the base, two of which have lost or losing leaves:
