Hello Deebie, I tend to go on the safe side with my Desert Rose, since I just grow it indoors during this colder season with whatever natural light it can get from our south facing window. So if I see it is dormant, less to no water. We all have varying temps maintained indoors and light levels are rather low. So easy to invite fungal damage on the plant if watered too much while it is heading to dormancy and temps getting lower than what it likes. For my plant right now, I am very cautious with my watering, just a slight dribble of water. It is my first time to have it do buds indoors, so I am also watching how it reacts.
