I'll agree with no food, but not necessarily no water. At least that's how
we deal with "resting" plants in S/H, and it works fine.

It's about time to stop watering your plants (if you're in the northern
hemisphere, that is)...cold turkey. If they happen to get a bit of mist
from watering the plants nearby, so be it, but unless your agg is allowed
to dry out seriously, it won't flower this spring. Even if there is new
growth just starting, be merciless! Don't resume watering until you see a
bunch of new spikes emerging. Your plant will look like heck by this
time, but the flowers will be worth it.

Also, try to put your plants in as bright a spot as possible (but watch
out for sunburn on the bases of the pseudobulbs) and reasonably cool (I
stick mine close to a window here in north Florida, so it'll get a bit of
a chill on frosty nights).

Consider yourself warned,
