Fall Preparations, Mike Heinz
Preparing Your Plants and the Protected Area
Get ready for winter before the cold weather arrives. Clean up your plants, remove pesky hitchhikers, reduce watering and fertilizer, and start thinking about where you will over winter your plants. (Oct 09 Keiki Club)

The Winter Rest Season, Sue Bottom
Orchid Plant Growth is Slowing
Your plants need less water and fertilizer this season, perhaps half as much as during the summer. Protect your phalaenopsis, vandas and phalaenopsis type dendrobiums at 50 to 60F and your other plants at 40 to 50F. Stake your inflorescences for best presentation of the flowers.
