What is the lowest night time temp that orchids can tolerate? *I have

Orchids can tolerate fairly low temperatures as long as it's not for
long periods of time. I've heard that Phals can telerate 40+ temps and
survive. But be careful. I once took a phal to photograph it in the
snow and it died shortly afterwards. Study up on the different species
since some can survive colder temperatures than others. It just
depends on their natural growing region
