[spetrizio]

only three flowers, but anyway I am happy.
in the past I was not very succesfull with orchids which require full winter rest.
this year I left one room without heating. min night temp was 50-55.
den lindleyi is comming soon with two spikes.

Very pretty!

Lovely colors and form.
I am surprised that even with winter rest it didn't lose its leaves. My plant have lost all its leaves and that is my signal for winter rest....I hope to have flowers soon....

Bud is correct - this Den needs a needs to dry out for about three/four months. All the leaves should fall off and then in the spring the buds will appear and you start to increase the water. I do give mine a taste of water every week or two but never a thorough watering.

Mine also doesn't go below 60 degrees. Mine just finished blooming and has new growths about 3" long.

I agree that it is strange that leaves didn't fall down.
I have started with reducing water at the end of september and completely stop watering, even misting, from the beggining of november till the buds have been formed.
maybe I have to start with decreasing water earlier. or maybe temp has to be lower.
