Their leaves turn yellow and fall off, not needing them for the next few months. By the time winter arrives they will be in a complete dormant condition. From November to February keep the plants dry. A light spraying is permissible if the canes are very shriveled but should not be necessary. Provide lots of light and good air circulation. By spring the plants will look very neglected with shriveled pseudobulbs and no leaves and if you did not know better you would think they were dead and ready for the trash heap."
