| Trying to grow orchids outside might be a little dicey in your area. If I am not mistaken, you do get good freeze there. Generally speaking, cymbidians will tolerate cooler temps but have to be protected under about 35. Again, generally speaking, most others will not thrive well below about 45 or 50 at night. I live in a moderate climate and leave my cyms out all year around but bring the others in when the night time temps stay below 50. In the spring I put them out again when the night time temps stay above 50. Hope that helps |
