Brassavola and intergeneric winter rests

[MateoinLosAngeles]

I have a Brassavola nodosa and a few Brassocattleyas. I've never quite figured out the winter rest with these. I've seen suggestions of a 2 week bone dry winter rest, to a "light misting and watering once a month for three months" to even a 6 month rest with light misting of the roots every other day with no heavy waterings. I've also read many who don't give B. nodosas or Bc. any winter rest at all.

So what is it? Does anyone on the forum have some clarity on winter rest for Brassavola species and Brassocattleya intergenerics?

My nodosa is about a year away from blooming size so I didn't give it a rest this winter. It has grown roots like a weed since December but it doesn't have any new leads.
