Default Orchid temps for Ocean side homes!

I have 2 phals, they are in a beach house on SoCal, as you can imagine is hardly ever below 60F and it is really humid, I have very limited options of window sill since there are 4 facing only 2 directions, west, and north.

the one facing west has no blinds and gets all the light from the sunset, and the north facing one has another house right next to it so it pretty much blocks all direct sunlight, however since it's such a small place it is always very bright, and I have placed my phals on the north side window but close enough of the west one so they get a little more light in the afternoon.

Should I move them? will it affect them in any way?

Honestly Priz M I don't think a northern exposure is enough light for your plants to be healthy and actually rebloom. If they have to be in that spot I'd consider some grow lights.

Thank you for the input, I was afraid I'd be needing them, is a good thign I asked early I would hate for my orchids to suffer to rebloom

Thank you!!!!!
