Default These Dens followed me home...

....and now I don't know what to do with them!



At a general nursery's orchid show last weekend, I saw these tiny (2"
pots) Dens and they looked so cute (I know, I should only buy for my
"climate" - I have already slapped myself on the hand) that I had to
take them home. They are Den. adae and Den. amabile (bronckartii). Now
having read up on them a bit, I figure Den. adae will do okay in my
sunroom. I need to give it a winter rest, right? Should I start now,
is it too late or is the plant too young? (largest growth 8 1/2" from
pot to tip, two new growths coming are about 1 1/2") Any Aussies or
anyone else out there who has it and can give me tips?
The amabile will not do in my sunroom, I figure. I have read that it is
a cooler grower, and my room easily peaks at 90°F, winter and summer.
Only spring and fall are cooler. Should I be giving it a rest now, too?
Is it doomed to die under my conditions? HELP!!!
