For the Phal, 60F (16C) would be best, but 55F (13C) might be tolerated if the Phal is a standard type.

If the flowers on the Den came on a longish spray from the top of the cane, it is not a nobile type, but a Phal type. If it were a nobile type, flowers along the side of the cane, you would probably want to put it out side for winter under the eves to keep the rain off of it. As a Phal type, just keep it indoors with the highest light you can. Since it is growing, water it well, don't let it dry out completely. When either of these types are not in growth or bloom, then you would want to let them dry out very well between waterings.
