Newly repotted phal-- blooming, but leaves seem to be deteriorating rather quickly...
Question

hiii
i asked for help a little while ago with my phal.... everything turned out fine (thanks for yr help, everyone). the remaining blooms opened, making seven flowers:



i removed the lower yellow leaf in the photo in my first post, and part of the other leaf that was torn up pretty badly. that didn't affect her negatively, and she seemed to flourish. but now, i've noticed that the leaves are yellowing again. i'm in upstate new york, and i've been leaving her outside on the porch since the warmer days of summer ended. it's getting down into the 50's at night now... forgive me if i'm naive, but is that too cold for phals/orchids in general? i've been taking her inside some nights but it doesn't seem to be helping the leaves any. she receives indirect light all day, so i dont think it's "sunburn" or anything, and i've been watering her well-- soaking the pot two or three times a month with light watering in between (it's been pretty humid here lately). here's a shot of the leaves:



what am i doing wrong? if i should keep her inside, where should i put her? the warmest room in the house (south-facing windows) is also the one that has lights on almost twenty hours a day, and the room that has an east-facing window gets really cold (because it's part of the hallway)... so i'm not really sure where i should keep her. :/ i don't have any experience with orchids in the colder months.
