Some confusion on winter time and watering

[littleone]

I came here to ask about what I should do differently, if anything for winter for my orchids. They have been growing very slowly this year but I have been watering them by dunking them for a few minutes , 2 -3 times a week in water and once a week that water has some fertilizer food in it.

Now that it is getting colder, I don't think I need to water them that much or should I just continue on? How do I know if I need water less and how much less? I also saw in the winter rest thread that people mentioned they were "misting" their orchid - so is this just a few sprays of plain water onto the plant and that's all it needs?

These are my first plants and they have made it this far with me so I want them to survive their first winter!
