I keep the minimum temperature in winter above 55F. I don't grow Phalaenopsis any longer since they got too cold near the floor of the greenhouse, but Paphs do fine in the lower light under the benches.

If your greenhouse is large enough you can partition it and have different areas where the night temps will vary from partition to partition. For example a partition for phallys with a min temp at 65F. Check the link below for a nice brief chart on nite/day temps and relative humitidy.
