Dormancy for B. gigantea

Hi,

One for all you Australians out there.

I have a Byblis gigantea which I grew from a seed about three years ago.
Should I be giving the plant a period of dormancy and if so how should I
do it and when (summer or winter)? Does it need to be kept dry during
the dormancy and if so will it need to be re-wetted before it starts
into growth again?

My plant seems to have lost the vigour of the previous years but this may just
mean that it needs a repot possibly into a larger pot. I've thought about
letting it dry out and go dormant previously but it's a big step to take when
you only have the one plant.
