I think you can repot this in the spring too. The media looks good (i.e. not spoiled), but its packed too loosely. I'd cram it in there when you repot. Tight moss holds less water than loose moss and tends to last longer. Loose moss quickly turns into a soggy, algae infested mess.

That was what I was thinking as well. However, I am new to this and I just want confirmation. I will gradually reduce the volume as well as the frequency of watering until all the leaves have fallen off.
Hopefully by January it will be completely dormant. In your own oppinion given the size of this plant... will it produce a flower spike this cycle or not?
