I love the Encyclia's and have a Encyclia cordigera v. rosa Which I understand is more the exception than the rule with Encyclia's as they need to stay on the moist side (never dry). However others in their natural enviroment go through a dry period in winter till early spring and I water these much less during this period. I can only speak for myself, but I have a Encyclia prismatocarpa with at least 3 spikes on it that was given minimal water this winter. I am increasing it now. This really is a beauty and I would love to get a whiff of the fragrance. AL
