Default Fridge Dormancy

I put my plant into fridge dormancy 3 months ago. The plant was put in shade and indoors a few days prior to fridge. Minimizing temperature step (25C->8C) instead of starting from 35C (as in direct sun). It was put in a covered container. I am aware that there is an article here suggesting photoperiod reduction alone. Anyway, just a try to see how it goes.

Before fridged. Cleaned and trimmed. Put in container with moist sphagnum. No fungicide.

Out from fridge. No sign of fungus/mould. It still has some greens after 3 months in the dark.

The smallest plant was leaf pulling from https://forum.petpitcher.net/showthread.php?t=3254

The plants look alive. Will update when growth resumes.
