We have an air conditioner and the glass is also treated to cut down on the heat generated by the sun shining on it. We also have a fan. In the winter, when we leave for FL, we keep it at about 55 degrees and have all our tender plants in it, which also don't have to be watered too often. Also, if we happen to have it on air and are away and the temperature in the sunroom drops below 45 (I think), the heat comes on. Our neighbor comes in and checks the plants periodically giving them a little water when they need it. So far, my epis have loved it and stay in there year round (now two of them are too big to move anyway). This year the two big epis had four flushes, so it must suit them! It makes me happy! I kept this bloom in the refrig for four days and it lasted several hours before giving up.
