Well, I live in Fresno, and it is as hot and dry as it is going to get.
I'll try your suggestions and let you know what happens.
In the meantime, I treated myself to a lovely new miltonia!

Reason I asked if it was a hybrid or a species is some species will drop
their leaves during the dry season. It is early in the year for that to
happen though. If your unsure what it is then its almost certainly a
hybrid.

Do as Diana says, treat it like normal maybe a bit dryer though. There
is a chance it will come back.

Hope,

If the roots look strong, there's a chance that the plant will develop what
is known as a keiki, or a new growth formation. Treat the plant as you
would if it had leaves, but with somewhat less water, I think, and wish for
the best.

As far as species or hybrid, is there a tag in the pot? If so, it may tell
you more.
