Hello everyone! New Orchid lover here
Hi everyone. I'm very new to Orchids. Purchased my first one several months back and got another one today at Giant on the clearance rack. I absolutely fell in love with how beautiful the blooms are. I'm no expert but I am just trying my best to keep them alive. My first (Phal) has lost its flowers and is now growing new roots and a leaf! (I cut the flower stems because it had a lot of dead roots I needed to cut and I wanted it to focus on vegetative growth). Anyway, I have one question at the moment and that is this, I have my bedroom set at 65F year round. It's very comfortable to me and I don't want to change it. I would also like an Orchid in there with me. Right now I keep one in my bathroom and the other in my dining room. Is there any way (maybe a certain variety?) that I can keep one in my bedroom and still have it grow & flower as it should? Or do they simply need warmer temps to grow correctly? I'm also open to maybe 70F in the summer and 60F in the winter, or something like that. Sorry for the long post but I would certainly appreciate the help. Thank you!
