David, when my clivias start actively growing again after their dry rest period (indicated by new leaves), I usually start watering them very lightly and increase watering as the leaf matures and buds form. From what I read, they only need a rest period of 5 to 6 weeks (no water and cool temps below 50 degrees), before they start active growth again. I keep mine in my garage and bring them indoors when they start growing again. Come to think of it, I need to check on mine. I made the mistake of dividing and repotting one of mine during the dormant period and watered it, forgetting that it was dormant, and when I realized it weeks later and unpotted it, I found lots of rooted roots. My mistake.
