I think many orchids can handle 10C (50F) for a short period of time. If it is going to be a prolonged exposure ( like the onset of fall/winter I think it will be better to bring them inside when the temp. drops to about 12C(54F).

This is not my experience and I am hardly an expert. But this what I gathered over the last few months.

I plan to bring all of mine indoor at the middle of oct. when the outside temp. may be around 15C (59F), as kmarch suggested.

Some may require 'acclimatization'. I try to bring some of them indoors at nights. It is a hard work.
