BigBill said:I only have one point too make and that is for their long term survival, they are getting too much sun. If you look at your images that you provided, the proper amount of light should not produce those sharp shadows. No where near it. The light that they need should at the worse make a weak, fuzzy shadow.
Your Phalaenopsis are shown sitting in light strong enough to grow Cattleyas or maybe even Vandas!
That piece of fabric is not cutting the light nearly enough.

This is not the sun they normally get; I just sat them there for these pictures. I agree, it wasn't a bright idea. I had a rough day and made a dumb choice for these poor guys. Hmmm, I would love to grow vandas, but I'd have to take them inside for the winter, which my inside has very little sun. That's why I put the phals out for the summer.
