Default temperature tolerance for phals

Hi all:

I would like to know what is the minimum temperature a phal can withstand
without having it to shed leaves or in any way become retarded so as not to
flower in its next regular flowering season. I just moved down to florida,
and have an unheated greenhouse. i heard about the sudden freezes that occur
in the winter here in florida, and was wondering what would be the best way
to protect my orchids.. a majority of them phals and other warm growing
vandaeceous orchids from the cold chill(s).

Thanks and replies will be appreciated.
