My maudiae hybrid flowered in orctober here, right after halloween which is about on schedule with cooler weather and nights hitting high 40's in the unheated kitchen. When I grew them in florida, they liked temps in the 40s and even high 30's. They are more highland type orchids which normally get very humid, cool night time weather and low clouds that roll over the mountains and hills they grow on. So the cool night humidity and then drying during the 50's -60's daytime seems to trigger blooming although they are odd and can bloom at any time, not just fall. Predominantly they grow in similar conditions to pinguicula moranensis and Those are the conditions I give them no matter the time of year. The plants do seem to like growing in sphagnum moss and or peat and love to sink roots into the moist peat if you can give them that.
