Question about Den. Harveyanum

[Daethen]

I bought a Den Harveyanum just over a year ago. It was the top of an older plant with two keikis attached. Well, it produced 3 spikes this spring, two blasted. It is now producing a new growth. My question is does this need a winter rest this year? My second question is how would this plant do if I were to mount it? I would like to do right by it, but need a few suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

This is a quote from the Orchid Species page:
"that needs a definite cooler, dry winter rest to help initiate blooming which occurs in February through April on an pendant, to 6" [15 cm] long, few to several flowered, racemose, lax inflorescence that arises from the nodes near the apex of older leafless canes with 2 to 9, fragrant flowers scented of honey. This Dendrobium should be mounted to best accommodate the wet-dry, high humidity, and bright light requirements of this species. The dry winter rest from water and fertilizer should begin at halloween and ciontinue until Valentine's Day to insure the best growth and blooming."

Thank you, glengary. I have been toying with mounting and I think I will go ahead and do it.
