The plants mus be given a dry rest during the colder weather if they are to flower well. (So that begs the question, what is flower well? Do you want a big display once a year, or flowers all through the year, which is what I think may be the options here? )

What is the title of the Dendrobium book? It sounds like something I would really like to read....
My list of the few I have that need a winter rest seem to have all been listed, but I will list them in case I missed something...
Den. anosmum (superbum)
Den. unicum
Den. nobile hybrids
I saw something mentioned about a cymbidium? Or so I thought? What about Gymcymbidium? Anything with them, I dobut it but thought I would ask.
I hadn't heard of the Neofinetia needing a winter rest until this thread either. Anyone else rest them? Is this agreed in the Neo world?
