Lorli, yes I do.
If you look into the thread "My growing area" you will see that there is a tree to the left and another tree inside the right side of the cage. All plants inside the cage get some degree of straight sun at one point during the course of the day.
The door faces South, back corner is West, just for orientation. Sun loving plants are in the middle of the cage where they are in full sun pretty much all day, except for the grid of the cage. Schoms are part of the middle population, along with Vandas. Cattleyas, Dendrobiums are also fully exposed several hours during the day.
If it is a Schom, it will certainly take a titch of 40 degr F, I don't think the possible Dendrobium in question will hick -up a lot either, since day time temperatures are now getting warmer.
But, my plants spend the Winter in a glass greenhouse with a glass ceiling, so I can go straight outside in the Spring without worrying about burning them. If I didn't, I would probably try to hang them into a tree going outside or similar and then in a couple weeks moving them slowly to more sun.
