| justloveorchids,
I saw the website that you got that culture info from. The cultural advice they gave there seems to me to be a little "gimicky." Realistically, how many of us are going to be able to keep a plant at a constant 16-18C (approx 60-65F) for a whole month. Furthermore if i remember correctly it said to do that just after blooming to set the bulbs for the next blooming, but the next blooming will probably not come off those bulbs but instead will probably come off the set that will grow on the next growth cycle. As we say here in Australia, it seemed a little sus to me (sus = suspicious).
I would 1) figure out what kind of orchid I have, specifically whether it has Miltonia or Odontoglossum (both cool growing) in it and then 2) follow more reliable cultural advice like that found here on this forum or from the AOS or another reliable source.
