Hello! The main problem with air conditioning is it brings down the humidity. I grow outside in South Florida which is high humidity all the time. However, I like to bring my blooming plants inside for everyone to enjoy. We always have the airconditioning on here. 11 and 1/2 months out of the year. My orchids will start to drop buds and actually wilt if I keep them in the house too long. Of course my orchids are used to high humidity. Maybe it won't be the same for you. Plus, you northern growers are used to dealing with drier air and know how to correct it. I can just say, my plants don't like it very much.
