Cool Warm Growing Cymbidium

Hello everyone! One of my VERY favorite orchids of all is the Cymbidium. I first noticed them in the background...in various different movies and have been intrigued by them ever since. My husband bought one at Publix years ago and gave it to me for Easter. Turns out, it was a cool growing Cym. and I live in Florida! You wouldn't BELIEVE what we went through to maintain it's health and desire for coolness here in Florida! (Our efforts failed miserably!) Recently, after talking to Milton in the Everglades, I purchased 2 warm growing Cymbidiums (Cym. Autumn Sun 'Fireplace' x Golden Rule Geyserland). After it's acclimation after shipping, I repotted them in coconut husks and began KNL, superthrive and a fertilization schedule that doesn't involve too much nitrogen. I see roots growing! Good sign....but the ultimate objective is to get spikes! I'm confused about the sun issue. I've read that some people place them in direct sun. Mine are under the eve on the west side of the house...in a shaded area. I feel that I need to bump up the sunshine but I don't want to scorch them either! What is the best location for success? This direct sun thing scares me!
