Sandy, I water/fertilize daily right up to Oct 31 when the anosmum goes into total remission! It's daily, till Oct 31, then November 1, till buds show in April, notta - not one drop moisture. I have been putting them out in the morning to drain and drip on the back deck where temps are in the high 50s and low 60s. I need to keep water off the plants that sit below them. I think, perhaps the coolness is playing a role also since they have lost a leaf or two in the process (starting dormancy?)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
