As i know, the species dislikes cold weather. Several years ago, my first plant was killed after a cold front hit. Most people grow their plant mounted here in Taiwan but i now grow my plant in a pot with coarse medium. We water the plants every day even in winter. The plants need strong light, as that for most cattleyas.

Thanks, Pheli. Perhaps they didn't get strong enough light, although they grew right along with my vandas. Hmmmm......
