How dry is a dry rest for neos??
 

It's Halloween:hallo23: and I'm giving my neos their last good drink until Valentine's Day. Last year I treated my collection to the same amount of water as they received the rest of the year--but somewhere I read that they bloom better with a dry, rest during the winter months. So my question is how dry is dry? Do I just want to keep the leaves from shriveling or do I want to keep watering once a week and just cut the water in half? Or do I want to water every two weeks??

My collection is not huge, so almost anybody is more experienced and I appreciate whatever help you can give. TIA!!

You know I would have to say it really depends on what your temperatures are during the winter. That my help get more answers from the Neo growers!

im also wondering about this, thanks for posting

Hi again, I also wanted to point you in the direction of a thread that might help you a little. Again like I said before it might help to know what your temps are during the winter. Usually a dry rest or a drier rest, is accompanied by cooler temps. Here is a link to the thread: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...er-months.html

thanks!
