Den. loddigesii needs a fairly dry rest in winter to insure flowering in the spring, easy grower. Cheers Wendy

Loddesgii needs a cool, dry rest in the winter; just like an apple tree it needs so many hours of temps below 50F. A few hours of morning sun does it nicely in my greenhouse. It seems to prefer brighter light in the winter, less in the summer. It has been an easy plant for me. If you have warm conditions then spectable is a nice easy choice, but it get quite large, too big for me! Good growing, JW – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – The noble type rest in the winter.

I have a thyrsiflorum that I just bought this summer and is ready to go thru its cooling period. The vendor told to put it in the garage for six weeks and bring it back in (I’m in Northern California). One of the books I have says it needs light and 50F temps though. My garage doesn’t get a lot of light. Is that going to be a problem? Does the vendor’s advice seem sound? Dave Sheehy
