Phalaenopsis location, is it ok near the heater?

The intensity of the radiator is measured in a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the hottest.
During the day i leave it on 3/ 3.5 and during the night 2/ 2.5 .

That's pretty much the intensities I use during the winter. Like I wrote above, placing something over the top of the radiator really makes a difference. You don't feel so much heat going up.

Thanks for the tips! Just one more question, do you think it's ok to mist them several times a day? Or do Phals prefer not to be misted?

Better not to mist, it doesn't do much to raise humidity, and it's an invitation to disease. Misting the surface roots in the pot is fine, it keeps them from drying out too much until it's time to water again.
