This guy (Cyc. pentadactylon x Morm. sinuata) just fell out of bloom 4 weeks ago, and about a week later I cut off the old spike and began watering it about half as frequently as I did while it was growing, and was going to stop all together once all the leaves fell off (just like I did with it last year). Weather here has certainly been very fall like (cooling temperatures, less light), yet this Cycnodes is beginning a new growth! What ever happened to going dormant, loosing it's leaves, roots, etc? It still has ALL it's foliage, yet that new growth is definitely growing. What should I do? Just continue to water? Or stop entirely until the new growth grows some roots? It also needs to be repotted before it grows again though... Should I repot it now, keeping the roots from the previous growth? ...any suggestions?
BTW, here's a picture of it...
And another one that's more of a "composition" with it, since you can't really see the flower (
