Preventing bud blast in phalaenopsis

I am so proud. I have my first Home Depot Phalaenopsis in spike! I want to treat it exactly right so that I have no bud blast. I don't have to worry about gas because my home is electric. I worry about the cold. The spike is likely to grow toward the window, where the temperature is colder for the cattleyas. Should I try to keep the temperature even or is there some leeway in temperature, such as five degrees cooler that will still allow th buds to develop?
