Interesting to find out that you got two conflicting opinions regarding devonianum's winter water regimen. I also have a Cym. Dancing Mother, which (I think) is half devonianum. I watered it very infrequently last winter, grew it cool and gave it lots of sun. It flowered with eleven spikes last spring. This winter I decided to water it the same as the other cymbidiums and not let it go dry--and the plant responded by only producing six spikes even though it now has more growths. Next year I think I'll just go back to abusing it and withholding water. I have a canaliculatum hybrid too, but even though it's a good-sized plant, I've never been able to get it to bloom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with it. It's a healthy plant, has got fat pseudobulbs, gets lots of sunlight, and I barely water it during the winter (have heard too many horror stories about the species canaliculatum being singularly intolerant of water during the winter in its native habitat). Have you had luck getting your canaliculatum hybrids to bloom? If so, I would be very much interested in learning what you're doing.
