    Most Phal species are warm growing. There are a few exceptions that prefer cooler temps, especially night temps. These are the species that I grow here in South Florida. Most have bloomed for me. When growing warm/hot-growing Phals, winter night temps are very important. These plants will sulk if kept below 60°F for any amount of time.
