Temperature needs for Sedirea japonica
I currently have it in my terrarium and did not look at the entire temperature range which seems to be between the averages of 37 minimum nighttime and 85 maximum daytime within the range of a year.
I do not know yet how cold my terrarium will get during the winter, but it is in a room that is known for being chilly. During the hottest summer months, the temp peaked around 82 degrees.
My question is does this particular orchid need the extreme variations in temperature to bloom and do well?
In the terrarium, it has sprouted several new roots and began to attach itself to the mount. I would hate to have to rip it out at this point, but if it really needs to feel the upper 30's/lower 40's to do well, then I will just have to do that.
