treatment for dormant plants

[fishmom]

I have a variety of catasetinae, both species and hybrids. I am wondering how important both light and temperature are to these plants. I have heard vendors (not Fred Clarke, though) imply that you could put these plants in a closet and they would be fine. In nature, though, they obviously experience the cooling and shortened days of winter and the opposite for spring.

My plants are all in the house now, and most are going dormant. If I look at species culture information, I can guess at winter temperatures, but do I need to worry about cooling to the right temp for each one? Do they still need bright light on the pseudobulbs? I'd love to put them in a corner and forget them, but I am emotionally invested in these babies and I want to get the best growth possible in future years.

Any thoughts?
