I am 100% sure Cindy that you meant, treat it the same way as a VFT in dormancy. So the choice of dry dormancy or doing the Ref method. Good idea about taking some leaf cuttings and putting in potting mix to hopefully have plantlet clones if ever the main plant doesn't make it. I have been lucky enough for example to do exactly that with my first VFT, the original plant rotted away but I still have a clone, though that one is not in great shape now too, maybe in dormancy too!
