Do you mind me asking why you have them in a Ziplock bag? Could it be that someone gave you this instruction per chance?
The man-made genus, Bollopetalum, is an intergeneric cross between the genus Bollea and Zygopetalum.
It behaves and vegetatively looks more like a Zygopetalum than a Bollea, (which in many cases is a good thing, because it makes them far easier to grow).
If you've ever grown a Zygopetalum before, then it should receive the same kind of care.
If you've never grown a Zygo before, then read on...
Bollopetalum does not have a dormancy period. It must be grown consistently moist during the spring/summer months, and slightly drier in the fall and winter. So, in essence, it does need to be watered all year round, but like I said, kinda moist in the cooler months, and consistently moist during the warmer months.
I don't really know if this makes sense to you, because not a lot of people get what I'm talking about with these groups of orchids. They're unusual because their natural habitats have a rain pattern that a lot of people who don't live in the tropics don't understand very well.
