Where they grow here in Australia, they get snow over them in the winter..
Whatever that happens to be in farenheit

"VERY" cold is rather relative. I pur mine through a rather dry (never
dried
out) and very cool 40-50 degree F winter. Check out the link for the
results. I understand they can tolerate mid 20's but I've never tried it.

This plant needs to get (VERY) cold to flower well...

I have a D. kingianum which was badly sunburnt a year and a half
ago.
It
has since been growing like wildfire in a 1 gal. pot, and replaced all
the
sunburnt leaves, but the problem is that it's growing mostly keikis,
with
only 3-4 blooms from time to time. It has had good sun exposure in my
GH,
and I use 1/2 strength Schultz orchid fertilizer every other watering.
Any ideas on how I can encourage more profuse bloom?
