Winter conditions for paphs

[orchideya]

We moved to a new house and now I have a cold-ish basement with four large-ish windows. So I should be able to provide cold-bright-dry conditions on those windowsills.
I am planning to move out of warm humid tank to windowsills these:
Paph. armeniacum
Paph. micranthum
Paph. henryanum
Paph. Fumi's Delight
Paph. Fanaticum

When should i move them and for how long should they be there?
What exposure is better (two windows are east and two others are west)?
How do I go about watering and fertilizing during cold time?
And finally: should I even bother?

Thanks a lot for helping.

Yes, for the Parvis it would probably help being cool.

I see that you're in Ottawa. Are you going to be able to keep the windows snow-free in the winter?

 

[orchideya]

I hope so. I do have a shovel

Shovels + windows Not so much!

I just visited a grower today who had armeniacum in the ''cold house'' (min 2C) and watered regularly all winter. It was a 7 growth plant in a bowl.

Any advise for fall/winter temperatures for Paph. venustum?
