the northern hemisphere, means cool nights and short days. For spiking or blooming plants, ideal
temeratures are from 60-65 degrees at night to 70-75 during the day. Many phalaenopsis
orchids will be in flower now or be setting buds for spring blooming.
Continue to keep your plants moist but unless they are under lights, or in
a very dry warm environment, they are likely to need less frequent watering. It is especially
important that plant leaves are dry by nightfall and that there is no water sitting in the leaf
crevices. Good air circulation especially during cooler nights remains important.
One of the biggest issues during winter is dry air. Grouping plants or
using humidity trays can help. See out page on humidity
Maintain feeding at about once a month always at half strength. Continue
with a blossom booster if your plant is spiking or still producing buds.
