Default Trouble with Vandas

Yes they get sick in the Winter. The lowest temp is 65 but humidity becomes
a problem. Heat is with an electric heat pump.
Thanks.

Live in central OH and keep several vandas in my conservatory on a
humidity tray. The leaves turn yellow and fall off then it dies. What
else do they need? Dendrobiums, cattelayas, phalenopsis live in the same
room and are thriving. Varigated papheopedolums have healthy foliage but
don't bloom. Any suggestions?




Do the Vandas tend to start that kind of trouble in the winter?
What's the coldest that it ever gets in that conservatory?
If not too cold, how is it heated?
