I've heard both people resting theirs, and others not. I don't know that a rest is necessary for blooming, but may help the longevity of the plant.

That said, I don't have much experience with these...

You may get more replies starting a new thread with your question ...

Good luck!

Hello Talila6, this is an old post of yours. Have you gotten your answer? If not there is a thread discussing Sederia japonica in the Vanda Alliance -- Neofinetia sub forum: "How Do YOU winter your Neofinetia?" If you cannot find it, I'll summarize: Sederia japonica should be grown like other Phalaenopsis--warmer temperatures, a little less light, and more regular watering.

Thanks for the response. I brought back the sedirea plant back up with my other "warm" plants. It seems to be doing well. Temperature at 70 during the day and 60 during night. Light on west window. Seems to be doing well. I am letting the plant dry a little between watering. It looks good and roots seem to be growing.

Exactly, I assumed that if it came from Japan, Neos come from Japan, therefore grow them like Neos!

From my notes (and with apologies for any redundancies - haven't had time to read all 26 pages yet)


Brassavola nodosa – at least 2 weeks. 1-6 months in native habitat.

Dendrobium phalaenopsis – dry winters rest, but do not shrivel. 3-4 months in native habitat.

Dendrobium nobile – cool dry rest. 5-6 months in habitat, but first 2 have high humidity.

Psychopsis papilio – water every two weeks.

Encyclia cordigera – water every two weeks

Sophronitis cernua – at least one month at half water in winter after flowering.

Sophronitis brevipedunculata – 5 dry months in habitat, 2 with low humidity.

Lealia sincorina - dry rest winter

Cattleya leopoldii – dry warm winter rest

Paphiopedilum rothschildianum – slight cool, drier rest during winter

Encyclia fowliei – dry winter, 1” per month for 3 months

Angraecum leonis – 5 mm per month for 3 months

Laelia mantiqueirae – dry winter rest

Rhyncholaelia glauca – dry winter rest

Oncidium ampliatum – dry winter rest

Myrmecophila (Schomburgkia) tibicinis – dry winter rest

That doesn't sound good. I think you must have killed it. Mine loose leaves only off bulbs that have finished. there should be some new growth that will bloom in the spring.

So i just moved my orchids indoors due to it getting and here in PA it snows and im sure in their natural locations, they never Go through snow lol.

I have quite a few phals and 2 oncidiums (think thats how its spelled) but someone here told me they look like dendrobiums?

Do they need a winter rest? If so how would i do it

Some of the orchids look weak from lack of care. I got most of them from my aunt who lost interest in them and let them go.

There are many kinds of dendrobiums. not all of them need a rest. If they are oncidiums they will have bulbs at the base of the leaves. They don't need a rest.
