Help with ctsm ivanae

[Jmoney]

I find that the draconian rest period is not helpful for seedlings and most cycnoches. I now water lightly every 10-14 days in the winter, since my plants get tons of light all the time, and it's fairly 'warm'. Keep in mind I grow in sphagnum, and by the winter months the sphagnum is quite dry and does not rewet readily, so my watering doesn't really soak them. but this keeps the bulbs from shriveling, and seemingly keeps them from dying! (I lost a couple first bloomers that first winter when I withheld all water).
