You end the rest when the plant decides to end the rest. In other words, if it's not producing new leaves and roots, then let it stay pretty dry. Once you see new growths starting to swell, resist the temptation to soak the plant and potting mix. I usually let the new growth get to an inch or two in length before I start giving the plant a little water. Once it gets a little larger (maybe two to three inches), then I start soaking it with each watering (which, at least I like to think, helps to mimic the monsoon season in its habitat, which coincides with lots of water). Again, the best bit of advice I think I can give you is to follow the plant's lead. If it wants to rest, don't try to force it to do anything other than that. But once it really starts to grow again, feel free to give Mother Nature a hand (in moderation).
