| Jirel, you are good to go. Keep them outside year 'round unless the temp drops into the 30's. My phals stay outside on a south-facing screened porch which receives a lot of indirect light in the area where I keep them them and some direct sun. I water them every 3 days or so and they bloom every year, and each year's blooms are a little larger. I know I'll get blasted for this but most orchids (phals, in this case) can take a lot more light then is typically recommended. Better too much then too little. Usually they will acclimate to a "hard" grow but if the leaves develop brown (sunburned) spots, move them into more shade.
