And most importhantly what about winter dormancy do I really have to do it at all. Or does it really matter and if it does what sould I do and what months to do it in the year thanks very much! :)

Answer
Hello Roman,
First off sorry about taking so long to respond! It looks like your temps will do just fine. I would suggest putting your ceph in a east setting window. As long as you get at least a min. of 4 hours of direct light you should have no issue at all. I have been growing my ceph without a dormancy for years, it is not really required at all.
