Earlier this year, I recieved several cuttings which I immediately potted up, hopefully right side up. About a month ago, I got a plant Disocactus echlamii, as a rooted cutting, with a flower bud.

One of the original set of cuttings has leafed out. A bit of stem has produced a set of 4 leaves. I have not seen anything like that before, but seems to be wonderful. Otherwise, there is been no growth from any of the cuttings right now.

Up until the end of May these cuttings were kept inside the house in an east facing window at about 60-65F. They were moved out during a period of warm weather that turned colder until recently. The cold was 50F at night rising to 60F during the day. Temperatures are now 10F higher, 60/70F.

Are these plants just dormant in the colder weather, and will glady start growing in a warmer place? Or do I have trouble brewing?
