Winter rest?
Default Winter rest?

I have several species, one in particular, a Laelia rubescens that has done well for me this year in a greenhouse. Cultural information that I have found on this and other species state "needs a dry winter rest". Kind of gives me the drastic impression to treat this plant like a cactus but not sure I want to do this. What exactly does this mean? The plant is in a wood basket in bark. Gets water every 5 to 6 days now and is in spike. The "rest" is supposed to come after blooming. Can anyone be more specific as to what this dry winter rest is to look like?
