that's for the 'some idiot' part Jerry.
For orchids that aren't in s/h, I was told to stop watering around the end of October. I don't know if it's because I'm in Fla. and the temps by then, will have started to slightly drop? Or, maybe I was given wrong info.? When do you stop watering?
............which brings me to another question:
Are all deciduous orchids, ones that require a winter dry rest?
............and another question
In winter, for all my hard caned Dends, I cut fertilizing down to about every other watering and water on average about 10 to 14 days. What adjustments are others here in the northern hemisphere doing with their Dends. during winter?
