Paphiopedilum micranthum culture

[Mafate]

Hello everyone, I have given my Paphiopedilum micranthum a light rest period for some weeks in a cool and bright room, with reduced watering and no fertilizer. It has now started a new growth as you can see in the photo. At this stage of growth, can I resume watering at a normal rate and fertilizing or is it still too early?

Many thanks for your help.

I would slowly increase the watering...but I would hold off the fertilizing for a little longer till the middle of March.
I just moved my armeniacum back in and the flower bud is growing fast now, and new growths too--similar culture to micranthum. I started its resting period back in late fall(end of Nov.), with light watering, 35-40F.
