dendrobium/Phal. watering question

Hi,
I have (incorrectly I now know) watered my dendrobium throughout winter on the same routine as my 2 phals.

The result is that I have 3 keikis growing on it, which I'm quite confident I can deal with, but my question is - Do I keep watering it, now that I've started? or do I need to stop and let the plant rest? and will I lose the parent ?

I think common sense is telling me that now I have babies, I need to keep feeding them, but you (I) never know !

And will a drop in temperature encourage my Phals to flower ? they haven't for a while now, just keep putting out new leaves.

many thanks
andyt
