Growing or Dormant? (Watering question)
Default Growing or Dormant? (Watering question)

I recently ordered the MMM Witchcraft orchid from Seattle Orchids prior to their big move.

It was shipped in bud with flowers that are already opening up on it... However, it's also developing yellowing leaves like it's prepping for dormancy. (These showed up literally overnight.) We are getting some slightly cooler temperatures in autumn, and my bedroom (where it lives) is slightly more affected by this than the rest of the house (my bedroom is above the garage, which is not fully insulated), so it has been probably in the low 60's (F) at coolest in my room. (It won't really go cooler than that because when it cools that much in the rest of the house, the heat gets flipped on.)

I knew reading up on this orchid before I got it that it would go into dormancy at some point but... with blooms on it?

How should I water it? Do I continue to watering like it's in "growth" season because of the blooms, or like it's shifting into dormancy? Should I cut of water entirely? Just slow it down?

tl;dr: I think my orchid's confused by the weather, and I'm confused too.
