These temps are the lowest I can get here at my house. And I can't open a window, got in trouble for that. I do have a friend's house that has a section that stays around 38F-40F. This seems a litte too cold. I could keep it at 63F-70F day time and put it in the fridge which is 40F and 60% humidity. Advice?

For what it's worth: Mine spends the winter on a southfacing windowsill that gets full sun all day. The temp during that time is in the 70's . At night, the house never goes below
65 but next to the window it is probably closer to 60.

I stopped weekly watering the first of Nov. I misted once or twice a month (if I thought about it). The bulbs are very shriveled.
I started a light weekly watering mid Jan. I have 5 spikes starting.

I am going to try another area that is colder next year since I'm running out of room on the windowsill.
