Another thing to remember is the humidity levels. During this period, dendrobiums do not need a lot of moisture. Very little water will be enough to keep their roots alive. Also keep in mind that their roots constantly need plenty of air circulation so you should place them where there is a lot of fresh air.
Remember, that is based on energy usage, not comfort-levels, which are the purpose of having an air conditioner, in my not-so-humble opinion. Fact: At night, the ideal temperature comfort range for Americans drops to 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 87 degrees if you are my wife).
Is there and ideal setting, in degrees Fahrenheit, for your air conditioner's thermostat? We've received a number of inquiries from readers about the best temperature to set the thermostat during waking hours when they're at home, and apparently a number of utility companies specify 78Â°F.
