Default Quick Stan Question

Now that it has been "cold" here in Hawaii for a while, I have been severely limiting my Stan. jenishiana's watering regimen for about a month now. The p-bulbs are shriveling and some of the older leaves are starting to drop off, which is exactly what I wanted. As I know jenishiana's are supposed to get a fairly severe drying period, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts about how long this treatment should go so that I can get blooms this summer? I thought I did a good job of this last year, but I got no blooms this past summer so Im taking it a little farther. Thanks for any advice!!

Steve,

I have a small plant and two seedlings of jenishiana, and they are to young to bloom; Dr Jenny's book doesn't specify the time of 'dry period', as Barney Greer's book: "[...]it grows at 800 to 1500 meters in tropic, moist forests, which usually have a pronounced seasonal dry period[...]". In Southern hemisphere the 'dry period' lasts (usually) from may to august (4 months, only soft rains during this time), and this is the time of 'hydric stress' I use in my Stans lietzei and wardii to induce blooming (successfully!), with no water in media, only occasional sprays. So, I think only one month it's not enough!
