Paphinia cristata bloom! + question
OK, I've finally got my Paphinia cristata to bloom! (As opposed to blasting the buds due to low humidity...). Pics attached. Bought it as a small plant about two years ago. And, before you ask, yes, it's growing happily in a pot made of a sour-cream container, LOL. Actually it's just the right size and not too deep. Washed it well and made some drainage holes with a boxcutter, and voila. Now, I have a question here, as well. It's middle of July right now, which is not quite the right time for Paphinia cristata to bloom. It's supposed to bloom in autumn/winter, and to go semi-dormant after that. Now mine shows no intention of going dormant. Should I keep watering as usual, or should I water less after it's done blooming?
