How cold can Stanhopea tigrina tolerate?

[chumoanjiao]

Hello everyone, I have a Stanhopea tigrina, and it is now winter here, the lowest temperature outside will reach minus two or three degrees, but indoors can basically keep above zero. I have Stanhopea tigrina this year for the first time, and it is too big to fit in my greenhouse to enjoy the warmth, so I wonder if Stanhopea tigrina can tolerate freezing temperatures?

Two or three F or C? I would not expose any epiphytic orchid to freezing temperatures, especially not in a pot. In a typical night the entire pot will get that cold and the whole plant will freeze. Bring it into your house if it doesn't fit into the greenhouse.

thats a big plus and works in your favor that you can keep it above zero inside

Haha,hope stanhopea can tolerate the cold winter indoor,I have many phalaenopsis and dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrids,in fact,after the winter they died sadly,I am a little confused will stanhopea die like that,because it look just like a tropical plant.
