Default Advices needed about Ansellia africana

Hi guys
I'm waiting for a large plant of Anselli africana to come to my home... and i'm wondering which could be the better place for it, specially in winter....
I have different growing aereas, i could grow it indoor underlights (Envirolite), with winter temperature of 59F min., or in a ''greenhouse'' not heated, where the temperature can go down 'til 32F. Coelogyne cristata, Cymbidium and Sedirea japonica work very well in it, for example. Here plants do receive maximum amount of light, nearly full sun in winter.
So i would like to know which is the min. temperature that an Ansellia could afford.. i've read it can even get a llittle frost.. Which are your experience?

Thank you very much

Claudia

Ansellia africana does well in warm to intermediate conditions. It prefers warm and bright conditions, 2500-4000 foot candles with temperatures up to 25-30C and down to 8-10C. It prefers not to get that cold. I grow mine in intermediate conditions in a greenhouse and it does well. It certainly grows like and weed and blooms easily.
