Stanhopea wardii-Help needed...and more

[Sandy4453]

I've been reading all the threads for the Stanhopea wardii and received some great advice a while back but now I need 'specifics' on what I need to do and I need all you gurus to help me, please! I just received this today and want to get the conditions right.

1. I've read it needs a dry rest in winter....how long between watering?

2. I've got the net baskets. It's now in a 3" pot. Does this need tight conditions or should I pot up a size or 2, now? Not sure how fast these grow but they like it wet, so the optimist in me is saying, pot up....right? wrong?

3. I plan to line the pot with coco fiber and use a mix of spaghnum, tree fern, CHC, perlite, charcoal. Is this o.k. or, is there something else I should use? (I've got most every growing medium out there.)

4. And, what about light and temps?

I need you guys to help before I go any further with these.

And, instead of starting another thread with the same questions, I also need the same hand-holding, specifics with the Angraecum magdalenae I just received too.

THANK YOU ALL!
