I repotted in the smallest possible pot and it did send our a healthy new growth. Please tell me there is hope.......

Carrie,
I suspect your plant is still in recovery mode. Let it grow another nice growth next growing season and it should bloom. This cross has not been registered and is actually (
erythrostylum x Olymilum).
Contrary to public opinion, Cyms do not need a rest period as they continue to grow all year, even when they are blooming. Depriving them of a lower level of nutrients at this time only delays the ultimate size of the new growths. They just grow more slowly in the winter because the weather is colder. No, you would not use the same strength that you use in Spring through Fall.
