I've yet to have a full year of growing experience here in the NW; in the midwest I grew them outdoors with the rest of my cymbids from mid may to mid october (though in more shade) and then carried them on in a cold greenhouse with reduced watering the rest of the year. I've been mimicking that here in Eugene, they're kept frost free at night, though it sometimes gets into the upper 30's in the sunroom overnight. They're in a shaded position and get water about 2x a month when its cool. Hope this helps,
Adam
PS: General outside temps range 45-90F; gh temps range 40-55F
