Welcome to the Orchid Board:
Phalae's will grow well in Iowa, as long as they are inside! There is a LOT of info on phalae's here, just ask the right questions; or, go to the Phalaenopsis area and check the previous posts.
The folks here are great and very friendly and you will find a lot of support here. Welcome to the Orchid community and may you have as much pleasure with them as I have!
Merry Christmas,
Steve
