Dormancy is triggered by reduced light & water levels and lower
temparatures. Dormancy may reasonably be expected to continue as long as
these conditions persist. Here in the NC piedmont (probably within the
historical range of VFTs), dormancy lasts for about 5 months.

I repot mine just before they break dormancy, although I think any time
would work.

Good growing,
