Encyclia division

[Keysguy]

Most encyclia's are from the subtropical to tropical regions of the world. These area are typically subject to hot, wet summers and warm, dryer winters. A dryer winter should not be interpreted as "dry". These areas still get winter rain that may well come in downpours, it just means they occur less frequently. I water my encyclia's the same year-round as supplemented by mother nature. I just checked (I have a couple dozen different species) and every one of them has new roots going in some form or other and some are in bloom or in spike while others are showing nothing yet.

They are not Catasetinae so should not be treated as such.
