Default Lowest Acceptable Temps for Catt Alliances

I live in Atlanta, GA. Next week the lows are going to be in the middle 40's. Is this too cold for Catts?

While many people will say that it is too cold, I have grown then as low as the mid 30's without damage. But with the lower temps, you will want to keep them on the drier side. There are some Cattleyas that will not bloom if they get too cold also.

I agree with Ted. Cold and dry is good, cold and wet is not.
