Looking for full sun orchid to grow in window

[Mercurianmad]

Hi guys :-) well the greenhouse is going to take some time to build. The quarantine has really affected getting contractors out for it so it might not be able to be built until all this hullabaloo is over.

With that in mind I’m looking to expand my orchid growing in the windows.

Right now I’ve got three phalaenopsis and one oncidium growing on top of humidity trays in my Southeast facing windows. My plan is to get a 14 inch shelf to put above those orchids so I have another layer of growing space.

But I have all this air space at the very top of the window that I might be able to hang some orchids from in pots or baskets. And I’m looking for some full sun or very sun loving orchids to put there.

We have hot days now. Even with hanging plants close together and using humidity trays and a humidifier the relative humidity in my house Max is added about 50 .

Do you know any sun loving orchids that will tolerate a relative humidity of 50? I really would love to grow some vandas but I have a feeling even with daily soaking of the baskets it’s still not gonna be enough for them. Nighttime temperatures are around 61 daytime temperatures are around 76.

I also thought about growing some boat orchids too on the shelves but I’m worried that they would need colder temperatures then my house is able to provide
