Deciduous Dendrobium winter rest

[Jakob]

Thanks, that helps .
I was getting a little nervous, the temps back home are getting low at night, but not yet freezing (days are still warm for the most part though).
I know about the drought, but didnt know, that the roots should still be somewhat damp.
Mine is definitely blooming size - the longest cane is 70+ cm, plus two 50+ cm (not my credit, i got it in september), so if it doesnt bloom in the spring, it's my fault :P.
So to recreate natural conidtions i should put it somwhere bright - but since it doesnt have leaves does it really need lots of light, or is it gonna do just the same without it? what's the type of dormancy - does it go to "sleep" like plants in temperate regions in winter (and doesnt care about light) or does it turn itself into a drought resistant pseudo-cactus by dropping leaves and still performs photosynthesis in the canes and bids it's time (so still needs light)?
