Dendrobium victoriae-reginae culture advice needed

[NYed]

I have a newly purchased Den. victoriae-reginae and would like any advice on growing it. I have found very little information on it's culture. What I have read is it like cool, moist conditions. Does anyone know if it needs a dry winter rest period ? Any advice anyone has would be appreciated. Ed

I have posted blooms of this orchid not so long ago, I grow it cold to warm, kept evenly moist all throughout the year....no winter rest for it is originally found in the Phillippines that only have two kinds of seasons: the dry season in the hot humid summers(yet the morning dew gives it enough water) and the wet season of monsoon rains and stormy weathers sometimes drench it for weeks.
medium to bright light in the east facing window of my kitchen ....weekly weakly fertilizer....electric humidifier at 80% and oscillating electric fans in the day

Right, no winter rest. Growing cool and moist during winter, less water will be required than during warm weather. But if humidity is low, maybe not so much. (Mine stays outside, so cool to cold, and moister air in winter) I believe they like to get some bright light in winter as well - tho mine is quite shaded in winter and does bloom, but not well. Hopefully I can find a sunnier spot for it this winter and see how that goes. I grow mine potted and outdoors. It doesn't seem to mind the very warm to hot dry summer days we have here as long as potting media is moist (and night temps are always much cooler along with higher humidity)

Bud and Sonya thank you for the information. You both always have great advice.
