There are plenty of Dens that don't need a winter rest. All the phal type Dens don't need a rest, and there are also quite a few species Den that don't need it either. I can't think of any right now (have not had my morning coffee yet!) but maybe you can tell us what you have so we can figure out their needs.


I just got a Lycaste aromatica this weekend. Now I know that watering must be reduced once the leaves fall off and until the new growths appear, but how much do I reduce the watering? And what sort of temperatures does it need during this period? I'm really looking forward to the cinnamon smelling blooms in the spring!
