Dendrobium Anosmum seedling new growth during winter rest?

[orchidsunlover]

Hello everyone, I just received my first seedling orchid of this type and wondering about some new growth that has been happening during the winter resting period.

I currently have 3 new root growth that is happening on what appears to be a new little cane that is trying to form on the cane the is currently losing its leaves for winter rest.

I currently have it on southern facing windowsill and it receives quite a bit of sunlight. The temps during the day have been around 65-70 F and night time falling to 50-55 F. I have not fertilized it from the first week of sept. And decreased the water at the beginning of oct.

Since I have new growths forming should I continue to water it regularly? Should I fertilize it? If I don't water it will the new growth survive since it is a seedling?

Thank you so much in advance!
