B. Little Star from Kawamoto Orchids

Mine get full sun close to all day but not completely all day if that makes sense at all. lol. Usually they get a break between 2-5 and then from 6-8 get some setting sun.

Oh, ok, South Florida...good humidity.

2-5 sounds like a major break.
Does it get light in the morning hours??
I think this plant needs a bit more than what you describe.
Mine get at least six hours of direct sun.

Oh yeah It gets bright sun for most of the day except for the hottest part of the day for us.

[NYCorchidman]

Ok, then it should be ideal.

Yeah Its my front porch and the placing is great because my oak tree is about 25yrds away and its shadow helps to keep them from getting burned.

Little Stars is such a rewarding orchid to grow. I agree with the feedback. Here's mine. The fragrance is really special at night.

Well I received him wednesday and he has been getting partial to full sun. The last two days he has been getting cloudy/rainy/sunny weather haha. But so far has bright happy deep green leaves.

I live where winters are cold indoors so I have to mount, bare-root, all my brassavolas. They are part of the cattleya group and like the higher end of cattleya light and a fast-draining medium. I love the little stars...the night fragrance is fantastic. I have the Little Stars 'Yasuji Takaeki'.

@Leafmite; we get cold winters here around 19* and below in January and February. So usually by november all of my babies are inside bound.
