The plants need a bit of water when they're blooming. After the flowers die off, the plants will usually sit there & do nothing until it gets a bit warmer.
If the plants are mounted or at least very well drained, if they have a very dry environment, give water occasionally to prevent the pbulbs from shriveling up. I would wait until new growths start to emerge, then start to water again on a regular basis. As the leaves become larger, water & feed weakly, but regularly... that is the growing season.
If you handle a plant right, it can develop from a pea-sized plant to a thumb sized plant in one season. If it's under nourished & underwatered in the growing season, it can go from thumb sized back to pea-sized. If a plant is potted in a wet medium, soon it will be "pushing up daisies". That's an American expression meaning it will die.
