I thought you left catci and succulents alone for the winter(apart from a few winter growers and a few oddballs which folk keep throwing into the discussion). To me that (=dormancy) means no water; minimal heat; etc
So how does "re-potting" in January (at least 60 days from the equinox) equate with dormancy? Answers please before 22h00 if possible because at that time I may just bin my entire collection and take up crochet.
I always ensure the potting compost is completely dried out if I do it in winter
OK thanks
