Is it true that it needs a dry winter rest? I found that information on a few websites.

Evaluate that "dry winter rest" advice very cautiously. In habitat it may experience less rain or even none(usual for a monsoonal climate) But even when it doesn't rain, it's humid, so there is heavy dew when the temperature drops at night. Avian, does that sound like the climate at your house? Certainly not the case at mine. In winter, if you water in the morning, things are pretty dry by nightfall (especially mounted plants or potted in very open mix suitable for Catts) Dew happens occasionally, but at least at my house (pretty close to the ocean so humidity higher than inland) hitting the dew point to make things noticeably wet happens only slightly more often than rain. Because when it gets cold at night, typically there are no clouds, so it's dry. You can cut back on watering in winter on general principles - things dry out more slowly than in summer - but I have very few things that I truly dry out. (Like Catasetinae and only a very few Dendrobiums)

Roberta, thank for that information. Rarely see dew here. LOL
Going to include the sincorana in my Andy's order.

Would love to live closer to the coast. I don't enjoy this hot weather at all.
