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).
Keep It Clean. Never run an air conditioner with a dirty filter or litter in the aluminum blades that protect the condenser coils in the outdoor unit or behind the front panel of a window unit. Obstructing either limits the movement of air that is essential to your air conditioner.ive It Help. Give your AC a rest during periods youâll be away. Turn it off, or set it high, at 85 degrees Fahrenheit so the house doesnât get so hot that it takes hours to cool down. When nights are cool, open windows to ventilate your house at night, particularly if you live in a climate with low humidity.
