Question Catasetum Brazil-Import

Hi,

today I received a bunch of Catasetum, Clowesia, Cycnoches, Mormodes, Cyrtopodium etc. (all species, no hybrids) from Brazil. I ordered quite a while ago, but due to Covid-19 the shipment was delayed a couple of month.
Since it is winter in Brazil and all the southern hemisphere now, all plants are dormant. But here is the middle of summer (at least it should be - nights are still very cold and down to 4°C (high 30's F), but daytime temps go occasionally up over 36°C (allmost 100°F).

So here is my question: what should I do with the plants? Try to wake them up (I got a hot and humid greenhouse) and then cultivate them through autumn and winter unter LED-lights (they are very powerful, I managed to bloom Catasetum under LED), then give them a short rest and start them up in spring? Which is my preferred option. Or leave them dormant until next spring? Or is there another option?

Thanks,
Julian
