I recently read they need a "cool" period for a few weeks to initiate
blooming. I'm going to leave mine on the porch until the nights are in
the
high 50s to early 60s ... then it's into the sunroom to await the flowers.

The same article said they wont flower if the temperature is above 82.

I have lots of flowers on my Phalaenopsis. They are rarely without
flowers. As soon as one stem drops its flowers another stem develops.
They are kept in a window where there is no direct sun. The
temperature never gets above 70F.

Right! Apparently these are not heat lovers. How old are your phals and what
fertilizer/s are you using? How often do you fert them? I'm using a
variety of ferts including two made for orchids. I'm doing it 1/2 strength
now, once a week on all of the orchids since some are in active growth and
several Dens have spikes.
