Tiger orchids cannot be placed outdoors in winter. The temperature must not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to place them in front of heating equipment. The temperature in winter is low, and watering must be controlled in winter. There is no need to water the pot soil until it is dry. It should be kept dry and no water should accumulate.

The intensity of light in winter is smaller, so you can see more sunlight at this time, so place it in a place with better light.
