I know phals prefer warmth, but sometimes they're not important enough to us to treat well (speaking for myself). And one that I bought last year on sale, lived all winter in the almost unheated laundry room. Bearing in mind we got terribly cold and pipes were busting all over town, including in my laundry room. The air in the laundry room remained above freezing, but definitely not warm most of the winter.
The phal didn't grow fast, but did keep growing leaves and spike through the winter, with no ill effects. Oh, should mention this was a hybrid, not a finicky species like bellina. These things are tough....no doubt.
