So, I've been collecting orchids for a while, but this is the first year I've really gotten bitten and have been doing more research to actually getting them to grow and bloom again.
I have a few that should be entering winter rest soon, but still have some relatively new growth. I have a Lycaste Red Jewel that has an immature growth (no psudo-bulb and the leaves are fully grown), a dendrobium with a 2" cane that is just getting started, and a cymbidium that has a 5" growth that also hasn't matured or developed a psudo-bulb and a cattleya with a cane that is nearly mature, but not plump yet.
Nights are around 55-60. Do I leave them out and risk damaging the still-developing growths or bring them inside?
The dendrobium is a new one (from greenhouse a few weeks ago) but the rest have been on the porch all summer.

PS: I got through page 8 on the thread on winter rest and found some answers on watering (or not) when there are still parts growing, but saw nothing on the issue of cold--which is what I'm after.
Just wanted to let you know I tried to find answers before being lazy and asking!
