| The time to change schedule is when the latest growths are maturing their last leaf. You will see a small terminal leaf that is fully expanded, with no new leaf inside it. That is when growth has ceased and dormancy begins. However, because hybrids are mixtures of a lot of species, some of these plants will favor an evergreen ancester, and will not stop growing, and therefore should not get as dry. This is why it is a good idea for you to inspect your plants and learn how to read their current status.
