Thanks kavanaru. I found the answer to the plants in s/h for winter and that's to stop fertilizing. (See post #5.) I don't have the Catasetums in s/h, was wondering about the others, in general.

I'm re-posting/bumping the following, hoping to get some advice on this:

............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?
