Generally speaking, any sun before 10 am, and after 4pm is ok, and usually not too strong for 'chids. Otherwise, they need to be shaded. Depending on the genera, the shading is more or less throughout the day.
Just keep an eye out for them, to make sure the sun doesn't burn them, just in case. (sometimes sun can hit a leaf or two, when you think it can't, & will burn a spot or two... Had this happen recently... The sun reflected off of something, & burned a couple spots on the leaves of one orchid, out of the ten on the shelf,  Lol, and the rest of the plant was perfectly happy! And bloomed) |
I will keep that in mind, thank you!
I am not often home at 4 in the afternoon, so since I am home today and the sun has mostly come out (it is still slipping in and out of clouds), I will watch it and see how intense the light is on this particular window sill around that time.
If it happens to be a lot, I picked up some lace while I was out today in case I needed to place it on the window...at least it will be pretty, lol! Thank you!
