Arachnis and new roots

[rastafouni]

Hello everybody,
I bought about 3 weeks ago 8 young Arachnis. Unfortunately, they have only few small roots. I was thinking to put them away from sun until new roots appear, so they're on the shade. But some plants began to loose leafs and died. I already have only 5 plants. What's wrong ? Temperature is hight and moisture too. Should I put them in half sun , full sun as this genus grow in full sun ? What else to do ?

Vanda Catt. etc yes.

Hi Peter,thanks for the answer and never mind. I will try to save them by keeping them under shade until they'll have new roots.

hi....sorry about ur plants....but u mustn't put them under complete shade...these plants need high light level...they can't tolerate full shade.... i have some of them ....they didn't have any root at first but i just leave them under full sun and give them enough water...now they are growing well with lots of new roots....although no flower yet......hope i help u a bit...

Thanks hepmepls ! It seems also that, because there are no roots, the weather is too hot (40 C these days). I put them in a coconut to keep moisture and water them 2 times a day.They're getting better : I mean , at least, no lost of leaves.
thanks again !
