Default Den speciosum

Need some info from the orchid lovers from down under. I have a Den
speciosum that is in the second year of my care. I think I got it from H&R
last year. It now is in a 6 inch clay pot and putting out two nice growths
that are starting to harden off.

I see on a website that this species needs a dry cool winter. When they say
dry do they mean no water at all like the Den aggregatum? Full drought or
just dryer than summer watering? How large does this plant have to be before
I can expect a bloom? The new growth for this year look to be about 6-7
inches long.

Thanks,
Gene
