I stored several of the Nepenthes and Dendrobium Orchids in a bright window in the garage for most of the winter. I did not have the ability to keep them watered for a while. This week I pruned off the dead leaves and rehydrated the growth medium. So far they are looking good. The leaf turgidity has returned and there may be some new growth initiation. A few did not survive, but it's nice to know there are some I can keep in dry dormancy for a while.
Nepenthes sanguinium a week after removing dead leaves and rehydration.
A Yamamoto dendrobium and that Nepenthes after cleanup and rehydration.
Another, larger Yamamoto dendrobium, also stored dry dormant in the garage and reviving this week.
