The Phal abuse ends here.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I forgot to mention that even though Phals grow in a tropical Asian swamp forest, there are still significant temperature differences between day and night. There are also seasonal differences in temperature. Do not fall into the trap of believing in the erroneous stereotype that these jungle environments are always blazing hot and steaming places and that the temperature must always be consistent between day and night, all across the seasons. They simply are not, and that is not the case.

If you really want to know, those stereotypes of jungle environments originated around the Victorian era. You can still find traces of these myths surviving to the present day. There are a lot of orchid myths running around, and the more you get into this hobby, the more you'll find that those myths are unfounded, misguided, antiquated, half-truths, or partial/incomplete pieces of information.

While I can give you the temperature range that a Phal grows comfortably in, it will not necessarily provide the true understanding or appreciation for where these plants come from, unless you do your own research on these specific regions.
