what does it mean?

What is meant by " a rest period " needed for some of the Aponogeton plants .:help:

[madagascariensis]

think of decidous trees in winter. they drop their leaves and
rest and take a break for a while before starting again in spring.

For the most aponogetons, you take the bulb out of the tank as soon as the leaves have died and keep the bulb cool and moist.

This is what I have . Should I cut it back now or wait for flowers to die off ?

[eltylT]

How long should they stay out of the aquarium ?
