Dendrobium Nobile confusion

[annettehuggett]

This is my first post, I have been lurking in the background for awhile. Thanks in advance for advice. I am a Den newbie. Have had phals for a few years and as seems to be par for the course, the obsession has taken hold, so with 5 types of orchids, my collection is 40+, and I do not have a greenhouse!! So as to my Den confusion .... I succumbed to them at a large supermarket in January! All in beautiful full bloom, typically over wet, etc. After they stopped blooming I transplanted them in appropriate medium. But then I got confused. I live in eastern Canada. Zone 5, so naturally they are grown inside. Most of the orchid advice comes from enviable warmer, Southern Hemisphere conditions. Ok, before I get off track on general orchid questions, my specific Den question is: What do I do now? My research says they need a winter rest. The problem is the time for winter rest was over by the time they finished blooming because they were forced for retail trade (I assume) so .... do I pretend they had a rest and just water and fertilize as is normal for late April in the Northern hemisphere and then stop fertilizing in late August and start the cycle then toward slowing down and winter rest? Thanks for listening
