Thanks Marc,
dry, cool season makes sense. Personally I treat them similarly, but water overhead with a hose. No signs yet of bud-blast, the buds have started to come up. But I have an issue with rot (erwinia?) when temperatures increase.
I had the same issue with mine, rot. Once I got the erwinia stopped ( cut out bad stuff) watered sparingly through winter. To my surprise in the spring during re-potting I had gotten lots of new roots. Now in a mixture of tree fern, chopped fine, orchiata#5 and hydroton balls at 2:1:1 Now aways damp/wet, no more issues with rot (so far)
