Hipestrum; what to do now?

Hello!! So as you can see my hipestrum has gone into dormancy.
I have 3 flower stalks with, 4-6 flowers on each!
So this is how I cared for it prior; watered when soil was dry (1st inch) was fed baby bio every few weeks (a bit hit and miss forgot at times abd sometimes used cacti or citrus feed) light as the flowers faded I took it from the book shelf to a eastern window (only direct sun in morning) two weeks ago the foliage went yellow and all of sudden crispy so I pulled the crispy part off, as it started to go yellow, the bulb spilt, is this okay? (you can see this on image.)
So to care for it when it's dormant?
The dry skin of the bulb that's come away, shall I remove this?
Watering? Is there any at all?
Am assuming it doesn't need to go into the fridge to brake thw dormancy?
Should I repot it now?
It's currently in a soil with lots if coconut fibre. If am to repot shall i use same soil? Or will a reduced peat be okay?
Thank you
Leo
