Hi dolmadakia,
welcome to THE board on Orchids.
Please let us know where exactly you are from and how is the weather there.I ask this as I am from hot tropical India from the east coat.
I bought two phals a month back and since it was winter then I exposed my phals to the balmy winter sun for some hours in the afternoon for a couple of days,thinking that it is winter after all (temperature around 20 degree C). I ended up giving the plants a bad sun burn. They are left with just enough leaves to survive.
My mentor has an axiom "always err on the lesser side when light and moisture is considered for orchids and you will not kill any plants".
Regards,
Dev
