Moving orchids indoor: What to do with those who need a rest
Hello everyone! I hope you can help me with a question I have.
I usually grow my orchids (especially Cattleya) from spring to autumn outside, in the garden. In October-November, when temperatures start to drop (currently the minimum is around 8ºC degrees) I move them into a room with lights, where the temperature is stable between 22-23ºC during the day and 15-18ºC at night. They spend the winter here, because outside frosts are frequent. The question is what do I do with some recently acquired species that need rest (some Dendrobium, Cymbidium, Rossioglossum, Laelia...), because I am afraid that they will reactivate with the increase in temperature and not get the necessary rest.
Thank you very much!
Arnau
