I have one orchid now, that I just bought, a cattleya loddigesii harrisonian, that was a beauty when bought, but is looking a little worse for wear right now and I am thinking it is due to the change in climate and growing situation. I really hope it does bounce back.

I, personally, think there needs to be some reason why you want to move them outside. I realize their are folk who have limited light and the outside mightnimprove their chances at blossoms. But if you think orchids really love fresh air, they don't care (IMO). I think more people do harm than good by moving back and forth unless you really know what you are doing and why.
