Stop watering now. Start watering mid-September (they will have
started drooping quite a bit by then, but will soon plump up when the
watering starts). Give weak fertiliser Oct-Nov-Dec. Light window -
south or west facing. Do not allow to get too cold (eg behind a
curtain) - remember that they are epiphytes from tropical forests.

See what I mean Sacha? Everything I do is the exact reverse of this! ;-)

I see exactly what you mean! I have 3 little plants so I'm tempted to try
different methods with each - one as above, one in the downstairs loo and
one in the heated, steamy propagating house! ;-))
This is like me and orchids - whatever I do I get it wrong, though one has
had 4 new buds since I bought it and I'm just praying it keeps going. My
major trouble is when we go away and someone else decides to be kind and
water my houseplants. One person simply cannot be persuaded not to leave
things standing in water - my hair is torn out in clumps!
