Little risky, but bringing my orchids outdoors

[Katsols]

Hey guys, it's nearly freezing now and my vandas had a good summer. It was tough with one of them losing some leaves.. but they they seem happy! the roots look nice and the new leaves are getting longer. Also a stubborn phal finally decided to send out a spike!

When did you bring them in?Its been freezing at times the last couple of weeks.

Nice roots! It makes you feel good when they look that happy.

Brought them in i think it was.. october when temps were like 55 or so.
These two can handle those temps quite well! they just kept growing.

Sounds good. The worst is December. It gets so foggy, you wish you could have your orchids out, but its also usually freezing.

Brought my Dendrobiums (mostly speciosum and x delicatum) in in the first week of November and put them on a non heated attick at the windowpane, which I kind of isolated by means of a piece of oncoloured plastic, I hope they wom't get to cold there. I reduce watering, only once a weak, I hope tht will do

I am not familiar with your area, but if you are bringing the dendrobium in to a place where they will have their rest, then it sounds good to me. I have brought mine in to the coolest window, but I wish I had windows in the attic.
