Default winter temps

Good news for the spathoglottis I think. I found the following culture
sheet, mentioning
"As a tropical plant, Spathoglottis require daytime temperatures above 75° F
and nights above 60° F for vigorous growth and flowering. Plants may drop
leaves and go dormant with extended temperatures below 40° F. Spathoglottis
will not tolerate freezing." So I guess this means that 46F for non-extended
time-period should be ok, I hope.
