Dendrophylax lindenii Winter Rest Care
Hello all! I am not new to the forums but have not had any luck accessing my old account so I am back under a new account. I have been growing orchids for 25 years since I was a kid and the ghost orchid has always captivated me, as I am a Floridian and I read the book "The Orchid Thief" back in the late 90s. I have also seen this species in situ on two separate occasions.
I have a good bit of experience with Dendrophylax lindenii but I am hoping for some more detailed information from experts on how to care for this species during the winter rest period? Is such treatment even necessary to keep the plant healthy? Wikipedia has some excellent information on cultivation of this species and the entry states that blooming is prompted by winter rest conditions. Please help me out here. Let's get as technical and pedantic as we can. Thank you and I am glad to be back.
