Default mini cat dormant period question

my Otaara Hwa Yuan Bay 'She Shu' JUST finished flowering and I would usually do a dormant period for about 2 months where i water less frequently. this time, there is already new growth though so should I just skip the dormant period and water as usual since new growth is already starting??

Most mini-catts do not require any sort of dormant period. Now is a good time to repot, and maybe cut back on the water for a week or two just to get the roots to re-establish. But if your mix is reasonably fresh and you don't need to repot, just keep watering it and feeding it like you have been doing.


A lot of mini-catts will bloom two, three, or even four times a year depending on their parentage and how happy you keep them.
